#Neostumbler collects the data in the first place. While databases like #MLS (Backups), #OpenCellID and also Apples exist and are easily available, #BeaconDB only uses newly gathered data.

Neostumbler takes the real GPS location together with nearby Wifis, Cell Towers and Bluetooth beacons. These datasets get uploaded, and shortly after, clients like #geoclue or #microG that use BeaconDB, can find a location there.

Neostumbler shows an overlay map for existing data

I didn't buy that Token2 model because of its NFC capability and USB-C connector, but because it's the cheapest #FIDO2 token supporting Ed25519-SK. I did try out using it with my #Fairphone 3 running /e/OS with #MicroG, and it worked fine.

The silicon case I ordered along with the #Token2 key is unfortunately a bit too thick and thereby prevents the key's USB-C connector from being inserted properly into the FP3 if it's wearing its rubber case as well, which makes NFC a bit tricky too.

@bshankar Depends on the actual NEED. There are 3-4 common paths that we see: 1. Remove the NEED, maybe it wasn't that important anyway 2. Replace Google Push with #UnifiedPush 3. Replace Play Services with #microG 4. Replace the camera/QR lib with a FOSS one.

@nixCraft I'm running @calyxos which has @microg installed as a Google Play Services drop in. All my non-foss apps which I really need, including my banking app work. Saw there are some tutorials to install #microg on any android phone as well...

@leeloo @benda
You *can* have an Android device without any Google apps on it and with no connection to a Google account – without rooting it and with working banking apps etc.

Wo es irgendwie geht, nutze ich Alternativen. Was ich ankreide, ist, das es Apps gibt, die unter nicht mehr supporteten Smarthones funktionieren, bei alternativen (aktuellen)Systemen (ohne root) den Dienst verweigern.
z.B. diverse Banking Apps, besonders dann, wenn ich eine ausschließliche Online Bank nutze.

Durch die Hintertür brauche ich also wieder #google Dienste.

#unplugtrump

Die meisten werden sich natürlich funktionieren, aber es gibt einige Apps, insbesondere Banking Apps, die evtl. nicht funktionieren. Oft kann man das lösen, wenn man #microg verwendet.

@triumphant_fool
Get a NAS with #Docker support (like #TrueNAS. You can install web-services like @nextcloud which is a completely self hostable Google Drive/Google Docs replacement with addons to extend functionality.

#DuckDuckGo is currently the best search engine that isn't self hosted however #SearXNG is self hostable and very customisable.

#OSMAnd (customisable) or #OrganicMaps (straight forward) for Maps. Both use #OpenStreetMaps

#Android replacement, well Android. I personally recommend @calyxos which comes with an open source replacement to emulate Play Services called #MicroG

Although #Proton is technically a great service, CEO has come out as a Trump supporter so I'll leave that to your personal opinon. Another good service is @Tutanota

En Arnoud, wat dacht je van weer eens iets met je oude hobby (smartphones): een testje alternatieve privacyvriendelijk roms voor Android?

LineageOS
e.os/Murena
CalyxOS
GrapheneOS
CopperheadOS
iodé?
