you can use “gio mount -d” to mount encrypted volumes from the command line without entering the account password or requiring root privileges, I think. Not sure if it requires you to be in a specific group or if you’re in the console logged-in group though, but I expect that to be the case.

if I'd put Python into the rootfs, it would have doubled the size of firmware releases. That translates into slower firmware updates, more expensive flash memory, and higher bandwidth costs in serving up the file to customers.

you do get a pci bus on android and nvme (on some devices, most are probably eMMC or UFS), and xhci

like, lspci/lsusb will work exactly as you expect it to. android phones are, ime, more like a pc than not. ios devices are a different thing entirely, apple kinda dropped the whole "general purpose computer" concept

android phones still put a lot of peripherals on the soc with shared memory being the primary means of communication between cores

at least iphones put their modem out on usb (or maybe pcie)?

some do, some don't. the palm phone definitely has mostly everything on the soc for example, but you can still get an ACPI description of the hardware, list pcie devices (which the gpu is at least nominally attached to), list usb devices (mostly cameras, unless you have something else attached), check out the i2c bus, etc.

i mean, it's still linux. there's only so many ways to get a running system, and why reinvent the wheel

it isn't a some do, some don't sorta thing

i challenge you to find an android device from the last 5 years that uses an off-chip baseband

android devices either have the baseband on the soc, or they don't have a baseband at all (and in the case of no baseband at all, it's often still there, it just doesn't have the external hardware available to be useful)

the huawei has a kirin 970, which has a built in baseband

https://www.hisilicon.com/en/products/Kirin/Kirin-flagship-chips/Kirin-970

basically the only android capable arm socs that don't ship with a built in baseband are destined for set top boxes, cars or cameras, and are probably rockchip, allwinner, or freescale chips.

pinephone and librem both have separate baseband controllers, but those baseband controllers run their own copy of linux and are basically a smartphone within a smartphone, with the inner smartphone sharing memory between the dsp and a hosed up android

secure boot turns people into total dipshits in the same way wayland does.

the only system i've ever had any trouble with custom keys on was a lenovo laptop that depended on some signed option rom, and wiping the default keys would brick the laptop. i returned that machine and went on with my life.

every other machine i've touched since secure boot became a thing has offered the ability to install your own secure boot databases with no issue.

i'm in the process of migrating off btrfs to dmraid for a huge number of nodes. on most of our nodes, we have 7 1t nme drives with each nvme drive encrypted at the hypervisor level with keys thrown away any time the vm is stopped or destroyed. since there's no persistence anyway, we trained everyone that the volume was to be strictly for throwaway data or for local staging. striped all drives with btrfs raid0 and all was happy for many months

after some unknown kernel update that i haven't pinned down yet, btrfs went to total poo poo for us. heavy io results in an io error and toasts the filesystem in a way btrfs check won't recover.

so gently caress this, gonna strip out btrfs and do a dmraid raid0 with ext4 on top
