It's time to start my GrapheneOS journey. Any tips/recommendations for starting?

My plan:

1) Use the owner profile only for administrative purposes.

2) Whenever possible, use nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8 and Obtanium.

3) Avoid unnecessary apps.

4) Don't be too restrictive; it's a midterm project.

Yep. Keep it simple. Most of us probably don't need Snowden level anonymity, but just getting off apple/google farms and controlling your data is an absolute huge win.

It's not just Apple or Google. Other major platforms cross pollinate your user meta data to build up a profile of you through attack surfaces like email (mail headers), phishing, IMEI, IMSI, fingerprinting, DNS Addressing, and Client Side scanning (Apple). Just as a few examples.

Facebook, X, Amazon, Spotify, TikTok are huge data harvesters and corroborate with each other.
