Fuck Safetynet and Play Integrity.

If you want your group memberships to be known only by the group members, use Signal.

Would be nice, apart from the recording notification to the other party. Defeats the purpose of call recording in the first place.

After Nova, I’m not so keen on investing in a non-free launcher.

What are the best free software Android launchers currently?

You probably happen to have one of the CSCs that has native call recording enabled.

Everyone else needs to either root their phone or change the CSC somehow.

1. Did you install CubeACR from the Play store, or somewhere else?
2. Did you install it on an earlier Android version, and then upgrade?
3. What device is this, if you don’t mind sharing?

I played around a bit with hledger, but ultimately did not see a reason to switch from ledger. I don’t remember if I ran into any issues, but at least they are not totally compatible.

Do you have such a phone? What CSC does it have?

Two problems:

1. No automatic call recording.
2. Banking apps don’t work on GrapheneOS thanks to Play Integrity APIs, so you probably need to root to get them to work.

If you need to root anyway, might as well use BCR.

I very much doubt that, since Google removed the call recording APIs. But if someone can tell how it would work on recent Android, I would love being proven wrong.

Folders as a to do mechanism sounds interesting.

I’m wondering if a date-based system could work.

I stopped looking after I found ledger-cli.

Cool. Now let me legally record my phone calls without rooting my phone.

You are arguing for selective encryption, but I can’t really find any technical argument in your comment.

Whether we are speaking of encryption at transit or rest, there’s a general consensus that encrypting everything is best in every way except possibly performance for select cases.

For example, it allows hiding (meta)data about the really important bits, and with computers it’s really difficult to tell which bits of (meta)data could be combined to abuse. Tampering is a consideration as well.

Besides CSV, if you want to have lots of optional fields, a YAML file in a git repository is an option. Use yq or to query it.

Do you use some kind of encryption on the VPS?

How do you make sure the disk spins down? Is unmounting enough?

I look forward to Digital Wellbeing.

Considering this won’t hit stable distros any time soon, any recommendations for alternatives?

Bring back call recording APIs. I don’t want to root my phone to get back basic functionality.
