  • I’d be open to considering those but I never had a website break it down in a material way. At best 6 to me is shiny and side grade – if it results in major labor and time spent without reasonable benefit within a LAN then it’s not going to be a humdinger. Of course like I said if there are arguments to be made I’m happy to contemplate them.

    YMMV, for me the juice hasn’t been worth the squeeze yet and I’m not sure it ever will.


  • YMMV. Time, energy, compat*ability problems, unforseen issues which cost time debugging.

    Again, I’m speaking for me – there has to be a tangible real benefit and within networks even with 100 devices IPv4 does the job better than fine and better than IPv6 for some folks.

    Not to mention its just plain easier to remember 4 octet sets of numbers running from machine to machine in an office than 6 or 8 or whatever.



  • Sony Xperia 1 II, 1III and AFAIK 1 V all do LinrageOS and are flagship phones albeit expensive out of pocket and up front.

    I have mixed feels about Sony but for the Interim it’s a worthy “for right now” solution with a good camera.

    PinePhone was interesting for its time but underpowered and quality could be improved on.

    Librem5 is pretty decent if you measure it by Phone and SMS capabilities, those apps are okayish and it has easily pullable battery and premium aluminum side casing. But don’t expect to use a web browser on it and unoptimized apps will be slow but the camera is decent. 2008-2012 much better than pinephone camera by a lot, not flagship or even 2nd grade. This is also due to the software just “not being there” yet across the board.

    At this point I am pretty much done with phones. Maybe I will use SXMO on Librem5 or something to do the basics.

    I don’t think we should have phones. We should have Communicators.

    Phone and SMS can be legacy and die off I just want a 5-8" device that can do Matrix and Video call and tie into StarLink Sattelite and Cell Tower and AFAIK StarLink is deploying 4G in the near future which opens up the possibility for reusing existing tech as the 4G waveband is miles whereas the 5G waveband is only optimally like 300 ft and can’t penetrate glass very well due to the wave.

    In any case I think there will be significant innovation in the Linux Phone space in the next year or so for Techie Pioneers to get on board.

    PostmarketOS is worth a watch too, lots of hard working people out there scratching a itch and breaking down barriers.
