#Neostumbler collects the data in the first place. While databases like #MLS (Backups), #OpenCellID and also Apples exist and are easily available, #BeaconDB only uses newly gathered data.

Neostumbler takes the real GPS location together with nearby Wifis, Cell Towers and Bluetooth beacons. These datasets get uploaded, and shortly after, clients like #geoclue or #microG that use BeaconDB, can find a location there.

Neostumbler shows an overlay map for existing data

I didn't buy that Token2 model because of its NFC capability and USB-C connector, but because it's the cheapest token supporting Ed25519-SK. I did try out using it with my 3 running /e/OS with , and it worked fine.

The silicon case I ordered along with the key is unfortunately a bit too thick and thereby prevents the key's USB-C connector from being inserted properly into the FP3 if it's wearing its rubber case as well, which makes NFC a bit tricky too.

The packaging of the Token2 PIN+ Dual R3 is red and decorated with a couple security icons as illustrations in the background. Under see-through plastic resides the security key with a USB-C connector on the left and a USB-A connector on the right. The key itself is black and decorated with the same illustrations of keys, locks and password stars. The serial number written in text form and as a QR code is blacked out for secrecy. The actual name of the key is a bit ambiguous, because the main label in the middle reads just “PIN+ R3”, while the label in the top left reads “T2F2-NFC-Dual” and then “PIN+ R3” after a line-break. As their motto, Token2 have apparently chosen “Security is easy” (which is true for their product! 😉). The description text reads: “The PIN+ security key series enforces strong PIN complexity rules at the firmware level to ensure maximum security.” Besides the FIDO logo, there are notes indicating that the product was designed in Switzerland and that only keyrings at most 2 mm thick should be used.
The Token2 key wearing a white silicon case with caps that protect the USB-A and USB-C connectors and that are attached to the rest of the case with a silicon hinge. The case itself has a metal keyring.

Honestly, I don't really get the point of NFC-enabled FIDO2 tokens / hardware : Obviously, their NFC support is meant for phones, but to actually use the key, your phone's operating system must support in the first place.

Instead of connecting your token, you could just as well use your phone's internal FIDO2 storage (usually biometrically secured). NFC is not even useful for ungoogled devices, as also has internal FIDO2 support (which I use all the time).

@Andi_Berlin /e/OS ist meines Wissens ein Derivat von #lineageos deshalb läuft es auch auf so vielen Geräten. Da komme ich gerade her.

Mir war es zu instabil: Nach Updates fielen Funktionen oder Apps ohne Vorwarnung aus. Kann aber natürlich auch an meinem speziellen Gerät gelegen haben.

Ein anderer Punkt: #microg statt Google ist super, aber manche Apps, die mir wichtig sind liefen so nicht (richtig). Jetzt habe ich Google in ner Sandbox, da spioniert es in Leere, aber die Apps laufen.

Wo es irgendwie geht, nutze ich Alternativen. Was ich ankreide, ist, das es Apps gibt, die unter nicht mehr supporteten Smarthones funktionieren, bei alternativen (aktuellen)Systemen (ohne root) den Dienst verweigern.
z.B. diverse Banking Apps, besonders dann, wenn ich eine ausschließliche Online Bank nutze.

Durch die Hintertür brauche ich also wieder #google Dienste.

Ich möchte gern die Services unter 22.1 installieren. F-Droid warnt mich bei der aktuellen Version 0.3.6.244735 (vom 23.12.24), dass diese für eine ältere Android-Version entwickelt wurde. Kann mir jemand sagen ob das ein Problem ist? Auf welche Probleme sollte ich mich ggf. einstellen? Kann ich mir mit der Installation etwas kaputt machen, oder funktionieren sie im Zweifelsfall einfach nicht und gut?
