#AskNostr #GrapheneOS #TotallySane
Been thinking about this a bit more, to see if I can find a way to definitely ditch the spyPhone (so maybe I can sell it and add a few sats to my stack, for instance).
Would my fellow psychopath but definitely not paranoid at all GrapheneOS-using Nostriches consider the use of a 5G SIM-powered portable router, as a hotspot for the GOS device?
I would obviously lose the ability to make cell network phone calls and SMS -- but I don't do those anymore anyway, and I would even consider it a positive. The vast majority of people I want to talk to either don't do voice calls, or they use WhatsApp (which I despise, but that's another problem for another moment), even people who call me locally.
To summarize, I'm considering three set ups:
1. GOS device only, SIM on, normal use. Just fuck it, GOS keeps Google in check to a large extend and I can compartmentalize the worst stuff with User Profiles. Let's keep it simple. ~~No one is~~ Not many people are out to get you.
2. GOS, no SIM, airplane mode with WiFi + lockdown mode-spyPhone as hotspot. In the end I would assume carrying the two phones together all the time could easily establish an identity. But in terms of security, wouldn't this bring some added benefits?
3. GOS, no SIM, airplane mode with WiFi + portable 5G router with my current SIM for data. Isn't this inherently less leaky than carrying a spyPhone, lockdown or not?
Ideally I would want a FOSS router, but after a quick internet search that seems like asking for a lot right now.

quoting nevent1q…fjyaWould you run a set-up like this:
1. Graphene OS, no SIM. Wifi only.
2. iPhone with SIM and data as hotspot for the GOS device when I'm not in the house.
