I use LibreTorrent since I only have mobile data. It’s nice.

I don’t know how to share URL from F-Droid app, it just tries to export the APK file…

https://gitlab.com/proninyaroslav/libretorrent There’s all the links

Edit: Oh, I am not sure if it was fixed/improved but previously it would pre-allocate full file size on external storage which would just write corresponding size of probably zeroes and then gradually overwrite it.
Perhaps this changelog entry is related to a fix:

POSIX Disk IO option in the settings. This should solve the downloading problem on some Android file systems, for example exFAT on SD cards.

I didn’t try it as my current phone only works with stupid 4GB per file FAT32 so I don’t use the SD card for torrents anymore.

This was a huge problem when I was downloading Wikipedia ZIM file (110GB), it crashed a few times, and even when it finally worked the pre-allocation took a few hours (I think) as it had to write 110GB of nothing.

Edit 2: Yep. Zeros. This file shows up as “110GB” but doesn’t actually take up any (noticeable) free space on internal storage and it gets generated immediately. On SD card (at least in prior versions) it would actually write all of that first, which unless you were looking to partially prevent data recovery is unwanted.

Still is.

Unfortunately, especially with lower budget, that often ends up being choice between hardware and software.

I didn’t want to run custom ROM on the X3 Pro due to warranty. I had the motherboard replaced thrice, on average surviving for 9 months each… But there were theoretically options.

Armor 24 doesn’t seem to have any custom ROMs available, as seems to be usual with MTK devices, but the hardware is quite unique. I already had numerous strangers ask me what that phone is, how often it needs to be charged, or “what can that thing do” and “I am not surprised it has such strong light anymore” (it’s a massive 85.14Wh brick).
To be honest I like how it feels in hand compared to a fragile thin slab.

But the only ones making crazy devices like this seem to be brands like Ulefone, Oukitel and Unihertz (they even have a projector phone like Samsung did, but modern) which most likely won’t see custom ROMs, and I am too dumb to try building and maintaining something myself. I don’t even know how it works with device-specific drivers.

I did, as I said, by returning the phone xD

I think I also (unsuccessfully) tried ADB.

Not a carrier phone. I don’t know what specifically it is, Google Play… something. I disabled automatic updates in Play store, so probably something else. I usually just quickly pull down notification shade and click “Cancel”.

Even disabling all available restriction settings often doesn’t quite work. For clock app I set it to unrestricted and disabled optimization in DuraSpeed, still, it’s a dice roll. The chances are lower when charging. (Ulefone Armor 24)
On previous phone Unrestricted setting and locking in recent apps also didn’t quite work, but that phone had more issues. I’d often find that everything just randomly crashed overnight. (Poco X3 Pro)

But it also seems per-app. From experience, the most kill-resistant app is Termux (terminal emulator), but only if you disable child process restriction in developer settings. LibreTorrent also survives well, making the 2 only reliable large background download methods LibreTorrent and wget in Termux.

But anyway, my Alcatel 1066G dumb phone was just 10 bucks. A more reliable solution (and it supports animated GIF wallpapers 🙂).

It often feels like I am just a user of someone else’s device.

Even from the stuff that is shown like “Your device has new features” and “Settings changed by carrier”. And how Motorola tried forcing updates by using non-dismisable (they would re-appear immediately) full-screen notifications, and trying to disable the app led me to “Blocked by your IT admin” (I returned that phone).
Also when I connect any modern phone to Wi-Fi not manually set as metered it starts downloading a bunch of random shit automatically.
It keeps killing apps I want running (I had to use a cheap dumb phone as alarm clock with the past 2 smartphones), but keeps all Google services conveniently spending data and battery.

Maybe, but it would be like pointing out “Hey, this user has low IQ too”.

Don’t know what else to call that, unnecessarily adding someone to such information elsewhere than originally mentioned.

Also, what do you even mean doxxing them?

I meant the other, different user, by username.

I didn’t find such post on their account. Are you sure you’re not mixing it up with someone else?

I know somebody else here (Lemmy) posted some low-IQ related question(s).
I am not going dox them here though.

I just got an old HP inkjet that doesn’t care about reported ink levels and cheap ink bottles from AliExpress.

I print white on black because I have so much damn ink and nobody expects dark mode documents. Kinda funny when I take out a sheet of paper and have to dry it out. 120g/m² is absolutely the minimum when doing such crap though. Regular 80g/m² just wrinkles up and leaks through, although that’s also a property of dye ink vs pigment ink.

But I also lucked out on sales combined with coupons

Currently it’s €18.50, though for 0.5L (~1 pint) that’s still cheap. Honestly I am surprised I actually received that.

I guess it’s time to buy the printer I’ve been postponing

I hope it’s the blood printer

10 years later
Printers now include embedded cellular modems as backup for OTA firmware updates, ink subscriptions and telemetry.

Wait, I thought that’s something that only color laser do with yellow toner…

And once again the only available good tech is old 2nd hand.

I don’t know, but tell us the answer if you try it /j

Based on https://postmarketos.org/install/ the Nokia N900 can run the latest stable release of PostmarketOS.

Nokia N900 was a proper Linux-powered phone released in Nobember 2009.

So yeah, it’s been getting over 15 years of community support so far.

I have fairly small hands, but still prefer a larger phone. More content on the screen and space for battery.

HOWEVER, I’d take both. A small phone would be a good secondary device. I want something modern the size of my Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830i). The back also has a really nice texture.
Oh, yeah, it also has a headphone jack, MicroSD card slot and quickly swappable battery which I should probably replace because it seems it has slightly increased its capacity… volumetric capacity.

But I also prefer a bit more thickness so it doesn’t feel like a fragile, slippery sheet of glass (rugged phones are good for that).
