I really should switch to Graphene
Can I install my bank app on it yet? I remember having problems with attestation in the past.
What about full application backups? I've got a few offline apps, I'd like to transfer the data to/from. However, I thought grapheneOS needed the application developer to "approved" this backup/restore method - or you needed root (which invalidated attestation)... I don't recall which it was (but I really miss titanium backup).
my bank app is specificially listed as working but i would def check
And as a follow up question to this, are there any container apps to run those apps that won't work in a way that they think they are running on stock android?
Nope, but you can use their web apps.
Not sure about backing up apps, never looked into it.
Depends on the bank. Graphene has support for seedvault backups, or you could use syncthing-fork to sync the data over. Or any one of those Foss airdrop clones

Last year, the teams responsible for Pixel hardware and Android software were merged into one division, and Google today announced a “voluntary exit program” for employees working in the Platforms & Devices group.
At least there's some plausible reasoning for this, instead of blanket headcount reduction to pad profits. Reasoning doesn't change much of course.
I don't work for Google. I'm but a voluntary ~~product~~ customer. But if they could offer me a way to get away from them, I'd gladly take it.
Right now I'm moving my personal domain over to cloudflare and email to mxroute. Considering setting up some calendar and similar groupware stuff on kubernetes on Oracles free tier as well.
That's the other rub...if I want to cloud host anything, I get to choose between Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, and Alibaba. Wonderful selection we have there.
(I recognize there are smaller players out there like linode and ovh and a trillion VPS providers...only reason I'm considering Oracle is because they give so much free "forever". And kubernetes is fun for me in like a jigsaw kind of way. Not like the puzzle but the guy from Saw)
Sorry for being harsh, but if you use the "free "forever"" offering of any company as alternative to what google offers you learnt nothing from using google.
I think free cloud compute offerings are a bit different. Different motivations. They aren't trying to harvest your data, they are trying to advertise their product.
They want sysadmins to play around and convince their bosses to buy in on Oracle. They want web devs to build demos and get their clients to host there. They want companies to get their feet wet risk free, before spending tens of thousands of dollars migrating existing workloads to them.
Harvesting data from those customers would be a scandal, and have massive negative repercussions.
And honestly, even with the announcement of Stargate and Oracle being a partner, I'd probably rather give them a couple dollars a month to run a couple small buckets than to give it to Amazon.
I can't self host at home because no incoming IP. Unless I want to switch to my only other option, Xfinity. Which I don't.
And...let's face it...if the government wants to find me, they are going to find me. It doesn't matter if my Bluesky PDS or my kids Minecraft server is hosted at home or up there. It's tied to me either way.
These are the same people who brought you Oracle DB licensing. They’ll fuck you over someday, the countdown clock is already ticking
I replaced most cloud services with my own Nextcloud instance. I like Nextcloud.
It rules!
Forever is only forever until profit margins get tight or they have a bad enough fiscal quarter...
I have two free forever servers, they are alright, but they route weird. When I'm in China they go from Beijing to Japan and then to Korea causing packet loss and delays

Did they title the offer "Fork in the Road," too?
