Pixels get verified boot and bootloader relocking for custom roms like grapheneos as well, so you can be sure your device isn't compromised even with a privacy respecting custom rom. I guess this is what most people refer to.. Oh, and Pixels are probably going to get security patches for the kernel as well as the vendor blobs unlike many other vendors..

I hate being forced to use this crap

Sweet, seems like lemmy is pretty lightweight on resources overall. Thanks for the reply :)

Haha, that wasn't really the purpose, I intend to federate and communicate

I'm also quite unfamiliar with lemmy architecture haha. Well unless the instance I'm trying to federate with defederates/bans my instance, I guess I'll be ok but I don't know.. I'm currently searching for information :)

I see. I think I'll try finding a cheap second hand laptop and run it as a server. (Technically even includes a UPS lol)

The VPS also seems nice, I'll look into it. Thanks!

I'm not sure what parent commenter uses exactly but cloudflared / argo tunnel can be used for free though they don't have some enterprise oriented functions. The daemon running on the server, cloudflared is also open source, available on Gihub.

So the only ports required to open for proper lemmy operation are HTTP/HTTPS ones (80, 443)? Argo tunnel didn't seem to support a whole lot of protocols (I couldn't find a way to enable telnet for a BBS for instance) and I was wondering if theres additional port needed for ActivityPub.

I'm not English native and I often see Google ads in my language. Many of them are of very low quality and some ads connect to phishing links, weird apps or cover contents. I don't think Google strictly restrict them..
