Show HN: Airgapped Android Setup with a Makefile

1 points by thisago 4 months ago · 0 comments · 1 min read

Hello guys,

I can't deny that I see the world of mobile devices as a threat to privacy, but at same time, smartphones are pretty convenient pocket computers. So I think there's a lot of room for improvement.

I've been working the last weeks in a personal challenge to setup my Android phone without any external connection on it. Neither a hotspot.

I really liked the process, and despite it's status being pretty much a prototype, it's usable, and brought me some thoughts, and I'd like to open the discussion here. About the project, and also the perspectives about the area. The repo URL https://codeberg.org/thisago/phoneSetup

But at same time, there might be a reason (which I don't know) for this appearent lack of hackers as we have in the unix community.

I'm not a insider in the mobile niche (never really liked to be honest), but I can't super-protect my computers and ignore the phone lying in the same desk.

I'd love to hear your opinion!

Thanks.
