Running #GrapheneOS on a Pixel 9 Pro Fold as my daily driver for EVERYTHING.

When i'm outside i use it as a phone (6.3-inch outer screen), when i'm at home i unfold the 8.0-inch inner screen, connect my bluetooth mouse and keyboard and use it like a desktop. When unfolded, it looks like a mini-tablet with square screen.

I do all my websurfing, #nostr stuff, media consumption, gaming, ebooks, secondbrain, torrents, through my phone. I'm also running my own LN node and #Nostr relay, using nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9gpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmnyqyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskueq555fk2 and Citrine.

For internet, I use an eSIM with unlimited data plan, i never use WiFis. My phone has everything, and is always with me. All my apps are opensource, and the very few ones that aren't are kept in a seperate userprofile with very limited permissions.

GrapheneOS only operating system that i can trust. I rarely turn on my Linux laptop anymore, only when i need to do something that can't be done (yet) with Android.

Some of you might call me crazy, but I'm really happy with my current #minimalistic #cypherpunk setup.

this is the way. just buy the device IMEI and eSIM privately

agree with the appreciation of android/grapheneos ecosystem and I myself use a similar setup... but everytime things become seriuos I expect I would everytime pick up my linux laptop

That's the way G

Does the esim have the baseband cell identifier?

I do not know. Never put an esim on mine.

Folks, please (heavily) consider silent.link .

🔽🔽 Here's some info about why their particular esims are more secure than your average ISP controlled eSim:

The real issue is the phone number. That's the attack vector. Allowing inbound only remediates that issue entirely. But most people feel they can't live without a number. I'd argue the contrary.

Remember, privacy is a layered approach. Otherwise it's called "secrecy" and you don't want that, cause then you be one a target, like a government agency.

I'm mostly the same. I have a pixel phone and a pixel tablet that both run #GrapheneOS. I use the tablet as a tablet and as a laptop depending on what I am doing.

I'm.mostly not needing my Linux box as well.

That all sounds just great, but how do you check your Facebook?….

lol?

🤣

Any recommendations for eSIM?

silent.link is my favorite, if you're okay not using a phone number for outbound calls and only for activations. If not, you can always use Hushed.com to get a VOIP number.

It sounds like it handles the fold’s bigger screen well? I’ve been very interested in graphene and really like the fold, but I wasn’t sure how the software would handle the larger screen.

Everything works well.

Any issues with graphene on newest pixels? Currently on pixel pro 7 and thinking about 9 pro.

I have a Pixel 7 as well, no issues.

Unlimited data eSIM? Where can I get one?

They exist, from where i live

Ok thx, so it's with KYC / contract I guess. Still looking for unlimited non kyc data plans that can be paid with sats.

Let me know if you find one.

👍
