  • For the record, if the software updates stopped where they’re at today, I’d be fine with how the car functions until the end of its life. In fact, I kinda wish they’d just leave things alone at this point because I don’t want any extra features out of the thing.

    And therein lies the rub, you don’t get to choose, the corpo does and you have to trust them (you do trust them, don’t you?). Pretty much like you’re renting, not owning. As the article points out this is similar to phone ‘ownership’, hopefully in the fullness of time there will be a GrapheneOS equivalent for cars…

    Sidepanels as per u/mirasu, but with magnets for easy access. Pretty sure those corner braces are zinc plated steel so it should be a breeze (especially if you use mesh). You could even cut it down shorter and put on a top (can always use linear joiners later if you need more in the future, love extrusion, bloody industrial meccano! ) and make it really slick.

    That said, it’s great as is.








  • Zeroth, consider GrapheneOS on that Pixel.

    First, Syncthing on the PC and Syncthing-Fork. Now you can sync (and anything else) your photo files from phone to PC and vice versa. Congrats, you have photo storage backup.

    Second, either a vpn to your home network so you can backup on the road, or Immich (as elsewhere suggested) for your own google photos experience.

    Third, whichever of second you didn’t choose.

    Fourth, get ye an offsite backup (search 3-2-1 backup). rclone is your friend, but encrypt first locally with Cryptomator, then you don’t have to trust your storage provider.
