Everything as service, even base metals isn't exactly what I was expecting from the phrase "You'll own nothing and be happy"

The banks are also a commonly mentioned reason to not use Grapheneos when it comes up on this site.

Attestation is already putting the screws onto open computing, and the frog is already on the boil.

Agreed the modern push against root access is a prime example of attempted enshitification lock-in.

If you don't have root rights, you don't really own it. All other arguments are talking past this key point.

Between podman docker and general VM's there hasn't been a better time to be selfhosting. I tend to find any abstractions on top of this to be quite limiting and difficult to extricate yourself once something goes wrong.

Or if you are using an alternative os you can use a fake google photos app.

It used to use your default gallery app, I see it as another anti-competitive choice on googles part

Ok this is not as bad as I feared, disable still works and that uninstalls any updates that app has gotten.

It was always a bit surprising you could uninstall an app in a "read only" partition

Probably because everything seems to be an "app" these days. Even when it has no business being one.

Only if they are using hardware key attestation. From what I've read elsewhere it looks like it was never broken so maybe they never went that far before.

This is a really interesting signal tbh.

While it sounds like it already works on GrapheneOS having a corporation come out and say they won't go out of their way to break it is quite unusual.

Even without koreader a kobo is refreshingly open to tinkering. Getting root and ssh access is just a matter of renaming a file on the disk.

I got the colour after being on an old paperwhite for many years so thankfully it's a big step up for me.

Not op but I have an opensense box and a semi managed switch and an couple of TP-Link omada controlled ap's for wifi.

It can make management a bit difficult if you're not careful, but I have wireguard listening on all the vlans so I can bypass any restrictions on any connection it can get my laptop onto if needed.

Shouldn't we be able to repair a tiny glued togethee tech gadget as well?

Using Proton tricks hasn't been too difficult a task for me on Bazzite and my steam deck. But my modding experience hasn't been that extensive. Mostly tinkering with Deus ex and Starwars x-wing alliance

Except with modern tooling it's not a huge task anymore to run these services.

Cost wise on the right hardware it is very cheap to run, add the privacy/personal control aspect it's no wonder so many people do it.

Yes any RSS reader works for this task.

There are two types of channel RSS feeds

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=<CHANNEL_ID>

And the older

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=<username>

Youtube used to have an opml export button but there are a few github projects that convert the youtube subscription csv that dumps out of the account data export.

Edit: If you want to filter out shorts using the selfhosted application rssbridge allows you to do this.
