The Shield Pro is perfect for me and I have no reason to upgrade. Have mine downgraded and de-bloated using this guide [0] running a custom launcher. Like you said being Android and more open helps a lot.
The install script is still there, you don't have to use the ISO [0]. I prefer to do my own btrfs subvolumes, partitioning, tweaks, etc and just run the script after a base install. Uninstalling anything is a matter of seconds from the provided menus.
I was curious, and i wasn't able to run an earlier version of the install script into a system i'd already set up; script complained about non-encrypted volumes. That was enough for me to walk away.
Personally this was more useful than the original article. Original article mostly aimed at someone who is slightly more familiar with BTrees which is fine
I don't know, this article is immediately confusing, because the rules seem wrong, or inconsistent at least. That makes it harder to understand what's going on, unless I suppose one knows already.
The first rule does not allow trees containing less than 2 elements.
The second rule makes me wonder how "N" is being used in the rules. The first rule treats it as a per-node variable, per the second rule it has to be a variable external to the node. Also, what if N is not divisible by 2?
Now that I don't trust the rules anymore, I cannot tell what the third rule is trying to do or if it's even correct, because so far it has not been stated what purpose these rules are trying to accomplish.
Rule 4 contradicts rule 1.
Now, the ordering rules (and the demo) do not allow multiple elements with the same key. Is this on purpose? Database indexes support this, so it would be nice to get one sentence about, so I don't have to wonder why this general introduction does not seem to deal with it.
I'm only this far in, and it already threw multiple wrenches into my attempts at thinking along. Now I can try to fill the gaps in the explanation myself, but I'm wondering how much I can trust the interactive elements to test my own understanding.
This article has a lot of potential, but it could really use an editing pass or two.
Other than the popular password managers mentioned you can try Password Pusher [0]. It's open source, can be self-hosted, and has options like expire link after n loads or days.
This was the guide back then, possibly still works. [0]
