The travails of updating and reflashing

I like Android in general, but only as a degoogled custom ROM (even then it’s not completely privacy-protecting) with additional privacy tweaks, and avoiding non-FOSS apps. I’m using iodéOS, having moved from /e/OS. I could wish for better insight into the file/OS structure and more “desktop-like” functionality. Maybe that is possible with a rooted device? I don’t know.

Not too long ago, I finally figured out how to use sftp via the SimpleSSHD app from F-Droid (Tutorial: Set up ssh/sftp between non-rooted Android and Librem 5), so now I can view and transfer files over my network between the phone and any of my other comuters… including the L5.

I haven’t learned much about using Termux on the Android. although I have it installed. One day…

Learning new stuff is great, regardless.
