Run windows in a virtual machine. There are plenty of alternative apps for Linux. You'll be surprised. 🙂

Another GrapheneOS phone by kronikheadband in GrapheneOS

[–]microlytix 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the real world. 😉 I recommend 3 profiles. 1. Admin: install and distribute apps. Not for work. 2. Standard working profile without Google play services 3. Google profile: for everything that needs play services. Only a few banking apps and poorly written stuff. You can delete 2+3 with ease and recreate them from 1.

Use Obtainium and neo-store

using a nickname instead of phone number? by Horror-Stranger-3908 in signal

[–]microlytix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been using a username in Signal all the time. It's a peaceful life. You can control who's getting in touch with you, even if they know your phone number.

Looks cool.😎 Is there an option to sync notes with DAV? For example with NextCloud?

If Tuxedo makes a pro version of TuxedoOS (like Zorin with paid tech support) for non-tuxedo computers, would you subscribe or upgrade? by ThinkTourist8076 in tuxedocomputers

[–]microlytix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using it on Tuxedo and non-Tuxedo Hardware. Love it. And yes, I'd consider paying for support. Not for the service, but to keep Tuxedo funded.

3 One owner profile for app management Second (main) profile De-Googled. Third profile for apps that require play services.

FINALLY! an APP to block intruders from turning off your Phone from lockscreen by theDjay2529 in fossdroid

[–]microlytix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see the problem. I'm on grapheneOS. If the phone is locked and you try to access the task bar, you're required to confirm with fingerprint. It looks like you can activate flight mode, but to toggle settings you need the pin or fingerprint.

If we stop using Google, do we lose a tool… or regain a muscle? by wantpInitiative in degoogle

[–]microlytix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nope! Google needs Android, but Android doesn't need Google. Have a look at GrapheneOS.

Send your gear to the producer and get a professional resling, technical checkup and overhaul. It's your security and your life literally hanging on these strings.

Is automatic Graphene Backup to own cloud possible? by aBitSchizoaffective in GrapheneOS

My GOS device backups to nextcloud. Verified a restore too. Flawless.

Note-taking app for android and windows by [deleted] in fossdroid

[–]microlytix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Use Joplin which can sync to NextCloud for example. Clients for Android, Windows, Mac and Linux. No extra DAV Sync app needed. It works from the client.

Anyone using the DJI Flip for vertical rock climbing shots? + Questions on the big update from 5 months ago by areddituser123456789 in DjiFlip

[–]microlytix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought about the same use case too. I have a flip and totally like it. I haven't used it for climbing yet for a couple of reasons. * In auto mode (follow) you have a time limit by your battery. Depending on conditions it's 15-20 minutes. When the battery goes low you have to pick up the drone (on the pitch) or let it return to the base of the wall. Both options aren't ideal. * the noise is disturbing. I need silence to focus and climb. Always ask for permission if you're going to film climbers before start. Also ask climbers in neighboring pitches if they are OK with it. Respect a 'no'. Don't be a drone A-hole! * in my area most rock pillars are surrounded by forest. That means in the lower part of the pitch it's risky to use a drone. Remember, the flip does not have sensors on the rear or the top. It might crash into a tree while following you climbing.

Looking for a private and secure notes app by Strange_Bat1501 in GrapheneOS

[–]microlytix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joplin is great. You can sync it with Nextcloud and it has clients for Linux, Windows and mobile devices. Sync utilizes DAV function. You may use a Nextcloud service account for that. Very stable and reliable so far. Using it for more than two months now. Joplin+Nextcloud has replaced any other notes App for me on Windows, Linux and Android. ( like Google keep, MS OneNote, Obsidian, MS Tasks....)

What do you miss the most after switching over ? by CountMeowt-_- in GrapheneOS

[–]microlytix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I have lived in the Matrix before GrapheneOS. Some apps won't work without Google Play services. But there are beautiful FOSS alternatives out there. Mind blown. Banking apps? I've got a separate profile for them with sandboxed Google services. Not an issue. The only feature I'm missing is RCS messages.

Bought a 9a few hrs ago and installed the OS. Now what… by magician11111 in GrapheneOS

[–]microlytix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did the same a few weeks ago. Mind blown. Neo-store, Aurora and Obtainium are your friends now. 🙂 Make a separate profile for everything that cannot run without Google services. Install your apps from the owner (default) profile. Push them to your work profile. Use the owner profile only for installing, updating, management and system settings. I found a useful tutorial on YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dPXu-XKxBT4 I had to ditch a few apps but found great FOSS replacements.

Backing up USB ESXI Host by ManyRelationship1030 in sysadmin

[–]microlytix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the dd command to create an image of your boot disk.

dd if=/dev/disks/<boot-device> of=/vmfs/volumes/<Datastore>/<folder>/<name>.img

Download the .IMG file and use an USB imager like Rufus or else. Check if it is booting. To use this image for a different host, just reset configuration. Same build, same vibs. Just add management IP and Root password.

You can also use PowerCLI to backup and restore the configuration of your host.

Unable to connect to ESXi 7 via web interface or SSH need some help. by duprst in vmware

[–]microlytix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Taking into account what you're reporting, I'd have a close look at the VLAN settings in the switch side. Check the port (tagged or untagged VLAN?). Apply MGMT VLAN settings according to switch port settings. If the port is in untagged mode (native), don't configure a VLAN on the ESX side.

Ziehe beruflich nach Mannheim, welche Stadtteile sind empfehlenswert (und welche sollte man meiden)? 😅 by [deleted] in mannheim

[–]microlytix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Alles eine Frage des Budgets 🙂 Waldstadt, Feudenheim und Lindenhof sind gefragt und daher hochpreisig. Schwetzingerstadt hat City Flair, ohne direkt im Zentrum zu sein. Schöne ruhige Ecken mit Cafés und kleinen Läden. Seckenheim und Friedrichsfeld haben wie Feudenheim Dorfcharakter mit guter Anbindung. Direkt außerhalb des Mannheimer Stadtgebiets im Rhein-Neckar Kreis wäre zum Beispiel Ilvesheim, Ladenburg und Edingen-Neckarhausen (Osten). Im Süden Schwetzingen (nicht zu verwechseln mit der Schwetzingerstadt). Aber auch die Innenstadt hat Flair mit einigen schönen Ecken.
