I have all my apps that I'm using, along with moving everything over from my other phone with an SD card. Pretty close to being done.

I'm using most of the default apps to save on storage. But here are them listed:

Episteme oss -> this is just a PDF reader for any documents, including books and comics.

Anytime Player -> this is a Podcast app I'm using to replace Podcast Addict, another podcast app that is riddled with ads.

FM radio -> default app

Trebel Music -> Musify: I'm moving all my music from Trebel to Musify to listen to them completely offline and not having to deal with ads.

Pixelfed -> Instagram Alternative

Blorp -> Lemmy

Bookworm -> this is not BookWyrm(which is part of the fediverse) but its a cute, small community alternative to GoodReads. Its an app for book lovers wanting to talk about books.

Google Messages -> Quik and default texting app

All of the utility apps are default: calculator, clock, files, recorder, notes, tasks, music.

Gmail -> Tuta Mail along with the default mail app for all other imported email addresses.

Google Calander -> Tuta Calander

My bank apps: Chase and Bask Bank. They both work well, surprisingly, without Google Play Services.

Maps: I'm using MapQuest to replace Google Maps but I also use CoMaps mostly for hiking and the phone comes with a default map app.

Browser: This is default (Muerna) with your different search engines available, like DuckDuck Go, DuckDuck Go Lite, Qwant or Mojeek.

Gallery: Gallery is default but using Ente Photos for "cloud" storage to replace google photos.

Travel: Grab and Trip Plans: these two are apps from Aurora store that I'll be using soon when traveling. Grab is a Southeast Asia version of Uber. Trip Plans is a app used when planning/organizing trips with a travel advisor (private between you and/or the group with the advisor only)Aurora store mentions they don't work well without the play store but so far I haven't had issues running the apps.

App stores: I have these just to try them out besides the default App Lounge:

Komi Store, F-Droid, Aurora Store, Neo Store, Repo Store, Droid-ify.

Camera is default

Privacy Scanner (I believe its from Droid-ify or NeoStore) an app use to simply check if all of your system and installed apps are actually "private" sometimes it gets paranoid and it'll say that an app is not private because you let one use a feature like "access to Gallery" but it gives a nice visualization of what is running on your phone.

FreeDictionary: Open source dictionary app, not riddled with ads.

Quotes.app : just an app from Aurora store to read inspirational, motivating quotes when needed.

Rising RAM and memory prices have significantly eroded profit margins for budget smartphone makers.

Article contains social media posts with footage of the brawl.

Leandro Paredes lost his head after the final whistle of Argentina’s World Cup final loss to Spain, earning a straight red card after violently punching Spain’s Eric Garcia in the throat.

Spain claimed its second World Cup title, defeating Lionel Messi and Argentina 1-0 after extra time at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

After the final whistle sounded, Paredes rushed toward Garcia and violently put his open hand straight to his throat, knocking him to the ground.

The action took place right in front of assistant referee Tomaž Klančnik, as well as Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni.

Paredes set off a large brawl between the two teams, and he would also shove Spain midfielder Gavi down to the turf.

Paredes was shown a red card after the brawl. He was the second Argentina player to be red carded after Enzo Fernandez was sent off for a second yellow card near the end of regulation.

FIFA’s disciplinary committee will almost certainly look at the incident, with Paredes likely to face a suspension longer than the automatic one-match ban for a red card.

Looking for advice on setting up a new whole home network and the direction to take of MoCA over existing cabling vs running new Ethernet Cat6A:

Recently in a new space that has an existing HomeConnect CSMAPDU9VPI with coax cables run throughout the home, which seems like a great candidate to just use MoCA and get up and running faster:

But I am also interested in "future proofing" the network setup and replacing the coax cables that are already run with Cat6A Ethernet, all connecting to a central 10G switch / homelab setup.

Is it worth the effort to re-run all of the cables and swap out the wall plates or just go with the simple thing an run with a MoCA setup? I'd really prefer to not spend on one setup with the plan to update in the future, but maybe that's the compromise solution to get setup and running sooner.

The CSMAPDU9VPI is currently completely isolated from the cable line to the modem (picture above is old and shows a cable connected to the IN port, this cable is no longer connected) so I don't think I have to worry about interference with my DOCSIS 3.1 service / modem.

Can't remember if this is based on a true story.

“The thing that the religious right did over and over and over again – they do it today; JD Vance is actually exceptionally good at this – is this idea that, ‘ You expressing your point of view oppresses me, you enjoying your civil rights oppresses me. Even though I’m the second most powerful man in the country, other people having their point of view is actually oppression against me.’ They were exceptionally good at that...”
