By which criterion? I'm happily using Librem 5 as a daily driver; wrote this reply from it.

ctrlc-root · 7 months ago

I've been using a Librem 5 as a daily driver for years and before that I used a PinePhone for several years. It can work if you're willing to adjust to live with it's constraints (but then also enjoy the benefits).

I wonder, as others have said, an easily OCRable font. However, maybe an added compressor, zip type program specially designed for the limited character set.

If we just have text files, and mayve vector graphics for simple schematics, that's a lot of info.

Those fonts do exist:

Still using my Librem 5 (2 years in).

Still works.

Still like it.

Same with a Librem 5 and for about the same amount of time too.

How are you dealing with companies that force you to use an Android app? There are so many services in daily life where people just expect me to have an Android/iPhone device. Those things are increasingly difficult to achieve in a different way.

ctrlc-root · a year ago

Not the parent but I'll reply for myself. I have a Librem 5 as my personal phone which I take with me when I go places and use as my daily driver. I also have a Pixel running GrapheneOS with work and personal profiles for the few times I need to run an Android application but it more or less permanently stays at my desk. The Android applications I have on that phone are banking (required to use Zelle at my bank) and management applications for various devices (ex: managing settings on my bluetooth headphones). I don't need to use those often and when I do it can wait until I'm back at my desk where my GrapheneOS phone lives.

Having gone down the rabbit hole of researching aftermarket ECUs for my cars I've discovered that in the US it's basically illegal to make changes to any part of a street legal car's emission control system which of course includes the ECU. It seems that it has been for several years but the EPA did not enforce the regulation consistently.

If you're looking for something similar on the desktop I use SpeedCrunch to address the same need. You can chain calculations and refer back to previous entries while seeing your history.

Thanks, I thought I knew all the major mesh VPN options (tinc, nebula, tailscale, zero tier, hamachi) and yet I never heard of yggdrasil.

This is the kind of comment I love HN for!
