I've spent half my working life as a broadcaster and half as a software developer. Along the way I've been a professional musician, and an assistant to apiarists and undertakers (although not at the same time).

Since you're looking to move away from a Google phone (eg to Graphene or a similar de-Googled Android) it would make sense to deal with the remaining Google dependencies first. npub1vmtjn35d7r3rlfr4elzagvd5vlxneztrqnq4qgdjsecsz6sd3f2q7sl5gq leighelse{} @nprofile…xzsh @nprofile…xpag We run a Synology box that does most of these things for us. However, in the last two years Synology has made moves which would put me off buying their product again, and we've avoided updating to the latest OS version because we would lose functionality we depend on. npub1vmtjn35d7r3rlfr4elzagvd5vlxneztrqnq4qgdjsecsz6sd3f2q7sl5gq leighelse{} @nprofile…g4xt My daughter forwarded this to me earlier, and I thought it was appalling that the current government is able to disrupt so much that we as a country have achieved consensus on.
