Recently I bought a Hetzner auction server and I wanted to do a secure installation with disk encryption, like I always do for my vps (even though this one is a bare metal server), and I did it using nixos, disko, and flakes, taking the “hard way” approach.

And most likely, you’ve also worked with this framework in GitHub Actions and noticed how frustrating it can be to wait for a long test job to finish, perhaps reporting errors that need to be read in lengthy log outputs. Nothing irreparable, of course, but when you have a single flaky test, it can consume all your time and invalidate the entire pipeline.

It’s been a while since every time I need a general-purpose app, I always investigate which FOSS alternatives are present in F-Droid before the Google Play Store. Today, I’m going to present five of these software options that are changing my experience as an Android user, and I hope they will change yours as well.
