I have separate profiles:

  • main user has no Google Play services or Gapps: just F-Droid apps and a couple of play store apps I use daily (anonymously via Aurora Store app)
  • Aurora profile has other playstore apps that will run without Google Play Services
  • PlayStore profile is for anything that requires full Google Play Services (banking, purchased apps)
  • Work profile is full-on Google everyting (Google school)
  • Location is on, but only shared with Organic Maps, FindMyDevice (FMD) and Transit.app
  • USB port is power-only (no data).

Some compromises I've made:

  • I have fingerprint unlock enabled (but not on my password vault or PlayStore/Banking profile)
  • I tap-to-pay with a Garmin watch ( you only need the Garmin app to set-up the credit card, then it can be deleted )

But... I think starting-out, don't worry about it. If you load all the same apps as on your old phone, into a single main profile, it'll still be a huge improvement.

boxcli from headless server? (lemmy.world)

I'd like to use the box.com cli from a linux server without X installed. However, during "$ box login -n me@mydomain", boxcli tries to popup a web page with the message Opening browser for OAuth authentication. Please click Grant access to Box to continue.

I've tried exporting BROWSER=lynx , and have tested that "xdg-open http://eff.org" works; but I am not seeing lynx open while running "box login". Do I need a 2nd terminal window, and then set DISPLAY so the "popup" browser opens lynx there?

Wondering if anyone has managed to setup box.com CLI on a headless, X-less server.
