Having read the comments I still see two major isssues with this:


Officially yes, but I suspect he is still behind the official social media accounts. Their tone is unchanged and I recently got blocked by the GOS account on Bluesky and immediately by Micay’s account as well.


I think it’s a lot more than just 3 features removed. AFAIK the whole hardware attestation is based on the Titan chip and you don’t have to trust the devices hardware, because you can cryptographically prove that the software is unchanged. It’s not only about the Auditor app, but the whole integrity of the OS, the boot process and firmware is secured by the Pixel’s hardware or more specific the Titan chip.
And the billions of devices can not be saved by a GrapheneOS fork because they’re mostly missing crucial firmware and generally get no updates anymore. That’s why GrapheneOS is only supporting recent devices and especially Pixel devices because they receive up to 7 years updates.
I’m all into getting people a more secure OS but I fear that a GrapheneOS fork is perceived as a secure OS when it’s actually not. The most important security features are still recent (firmware) updates and hardware attestation, verified boot etc.


I would love to know, but he blocked me everywhere.


But those benefits rely on the Pixel’s hardware. This is contradictory.


Have you vibecoded this?


How are you accessing Jellyfin? Local only, via VPN and/or reverse proxy? Anything else you have changed on the system in general?


Ionos is part of United Internet which is the largest internet provider besides Telekom in Europe.
Borg an Restic should both be able to do that. I personally use Borg on my Storagebox and have scripts on all my devices that push periodic backups.
Does anybody care that Drop Site’s author and founder Ryan Grim supported Graham Platner, who has a skull-and-bones tattoo resembling the Nazi Schutzstaffel’s symbol. Grim also shared posts by Sulaiman Ahmed a friend of neo-nazi Nick Fuentes. And Drop Site recently outright posted right-wing Tucker Carlson as if he is a credible source for anything. Grim also interviewed Tim Dillon, who once dressed as an antisemitic caricature of a Jew that’s “controlling the media”.
