So... in the end, I switched to the iPhone as my primary device after already having to use it as a secondary device alongside my Pixel 9 with GrapheneOS.

Before you stone me, let me say first and foremost that I love GrapheneOS and its almost perfect privacy features! But certain circumstances made a switch more or less necessary.

On the one hand, I don't want to constantly carry around two smartphones – especially when I don't want to lug around an extra backpack, wallet, and/or other bags, but just my keys and phone. Then there's the issue of two phone numbers.

On the other hand, I use “ID Austria,” Austria's digital government service (they can only dream of such technical achievements in Germany, muahaha!), and like my banking, it doesn't work, or only works poorly, without Play Services installed. The same goes for digital tickets for public transportation.

And finally, there's the logging of my health data with Apple Watch, as I have a heart condition, among other things, and Apple Health records all these values very well and perfectly prepares and presents all the relevant data for my doctors. In the end, my health is a little more important to me than data protection. At least I can convince myself that Apple is a little better and more trustworthy here than the data octopus Google.

And: the symbiosis between Linux and Apple now works very well. The iCloud calendar can be easily integrated into GNOME or KDE calendars, and that's what my entire daily organization revolves around. That was the most important point for me. And with Localsend, I have a perfect Airdrop alternative for data exchange, and Nextcloud also works smoothly on both platforms. So, apart from my health, I'm currently more than satisfied with how things are going!

I feel dirty 🪟 😂

I needed some Windows for a (German) tax related application, so just ran it in BHYVE. (Bit slow on the ThinkPad T480, but got the job done!)

｢ Solaris 2.1 for x86, also known as SunOS 5.1, was Sun’s first entry into the PC market (technically it was SunSoft, a subsidiary of Sun Microsystems, who released Solaris). However, it wasn’t Sun’s first x86 operating system. In the late 1980s, Sun sold 386i workstations based on Intel 386 processors. The 386i workstations were not PC compatible and ran SunOS 4.0, a BSD UNIX derivative with many custom Sun enhancements ｣

Still using nvi on Slackware.

No plugins. No syntax highlighting. Just speed, predictability, and classic vi behavior, even with multi-GB files.

I wrote a short guide explaining why nvi still matters and how its architecture enables fast, low-memory editing.
