I had a problem with #GrapheneOS without #GooglePlayServices and #Signal: the app was draining the battery like crazy. I’d always gotten it through #Aurora. Out of desperation, I decided to install it via #Obtanium from #GitHub. I have no idea why, but battery usage has been significantly lower ever since.

@alternativeto how does it compare to #Obtanium?

@82mhz Not quite what you're looking for, but the #Obtanium app installer let's you back up a list of its installed apps to your cloud service, so you can reinstall the list if occasion arises. I have a feeling #neostore might allow this too.

@geerlingguy @lattera ok i will escalate to rsj and simply ask - what is the best sbc device for building out these toys, i think pikvm is basically open sourced so caveat request to parts that are actually available #kvm branding #splash page #obtanium chinesium
testing some of the options against like 1g fiber may remove some of the bottlenecks and unknowns
Alternative: Used Thin Client

Consider a Dell Wyse 5070 or HP t630 - often cheaper than SBCs, x86 architecture, better software compatibility, and includes USB3/PCIe. #sw stack #orange pi #build of materials #alibaba vs ebay

@doboprobodyne #obtanium is automated side loading (yes I use it to). It'll have the same problems as #fdroid on #android

@schnedan

This is not a nerd problem but gatekeeping, because it - amongst other issues - adversely affects alternative app stores like #fdroid, #aptoide, #obtanium.

This is about getting rid of competition and controlling the market in a monopolist way.

I prefer #FDroid & #Obtanium over the evil Play Store to install all my Apps.

Android: #Obtanium (instead of #FDroid app) is really awesome for managing app updates.

However, this method has an issue when the naming schema of the #apk files change on the server side, and you're using a name filter to determine the matching release file. You don't get updates anymore and you don't realize it. 🤷

Be alert.

Today, I've got a very nasty upgrade issue with #SyncthingFork since they also decided to change the naming schema, the backup file format and had a direct upgrade issue. Bad combination.
