Ours are on a screen that is beside where you pay, mounted beside the counter. Lots of Shell stations in the US have them. I was complaining about how much I hate them because they hurt my ears, and my friend whose husband also has auditory issues apparently avoids them as well. They are not just loud, they hurt. Southeastern US.
My issues with pacman are fighting with reflector, which I figured out, and forgetting where I got packages. Pacman and AUR are easy, but I can never remember if it's a git clone or whatnot.
What does turning the phone off frequently do? Also, by duress, do you mean anti-tamper destructive functionality? Like wipe info if unapproved authentication methods are used or something?
There is a meshtastic Lemmy community. I think it has limited functionality. Like text only. IIRC it is low frequency, like 900 MHz or something, and is reliable. You have these walkie talkie looking devices, but they don't do voice that I'm aware of. Also, no issues with needing ham license or any of that. I'd be hard pressed to think there was not a community there that didn't have nodes set up. I don't know about security, but it might be under the radar.
There is a meshtastic map, but smaller networks in your community might not register, which is good.
Hey OP, if you ever get around to checking the hash on boot (if possible), it would be worth it to update the post and let everyone know if you were able to validate or not. That would be an interesting tidbit.
Meshtastic. There is actually a meshtastic Lemmy community. It can do texts.
Mureno will provide service for FairPhone 6. It has microphone and video kill switch, fakes geolocation, spoofs IP, uses app trackers detection, and doesn't really have bloatware. The ecosystem is carefully curated and managed. I like it better than Fossify but still diversify a few things just because.
I use NextDNS and tight domain filters. Got rid of MicroG. Love it.
