Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org

invested a lot of time in the Pinephone. He installed for instance LibreOffice on it:

But he never used LibreOffice on the Pinephone. And Peter invites everybody to develop LibreOffice on the Pinephone further. It is in principle a great application for the Pinephone.

Peter is currently in a crisis. In his room at the MRIS, he was challenged by four different neighbours, and was observed by the Swiss Police. In his apartment in Zurich, the situation is a bit better. There, he is only challenged by three neigbours. But the situation is still terrible. To challenge and to stalk neighbours in and around Zurich seems to have become fashionable.

Peter came to the conclusion that a stranger listen to his phone calls, and then applies on FLATFOX for the room he offered. And Peter is asking: Is this stranger is the Swiss Police?

So it is about time for a privacy phone. For the fist time in his life, he really used his Pinephone recently as a privacy phone. He has postmarkedOS installed on it, since the Pinephone keyboard works great with that OS. And he has also LibreOffice installed on it, but never uses it.

So Peter decided to use the Pinephone as a privacy phone. It works, but runs very basic with postmarkedOS. And the phone hangs every now and then. So he has to reboot it. This works only if he removes the battery, and set it in again. And then, he has every time to set time and day new.

So Peter decided to buy a new privacy phone. He bought a used Google Pixel 6 Pro on Ricardo Switzerland. The seller asked him: „Do you want Android or GrapheneOS on the phone?“ What a kind seller. Peter already has a Google Pixel 6 Pro, but failed to install GrapheneOS on it up to the present day.

And Peter even bought a third Google Pixel 6 Pro on Ricardo Switzerland to flash iodéOS on it. After getting some information about GrapheneOS and iodéOS, Peter thinks he is attracted the most by iodéOS:

But the biggest problem for Peter how the phones he bought on Ricardo will arrive safe at his apartment. Last week, a package was ripped open which was in his mailbox. The package was removed completely, and only the card reader which was in it was left in his mailbox. This is horrible. Something has to change. Another letter who was in Peters mailbox was ripped open. And the next package will be stolen. This is what Peter supposes.

Peter wants to deal with the Police as little as possible. And he has to find a lawyer to help him solve all of these problems. But how great the Swiss Post is to help to solve these problems. When Peter described his problem to the postman, he said „no problem, just address you packages to remain at the local post office“.

So Peter asked the Ricardo sellers to send the phones he bought to the local post office. But both of those did not listen to Peter, and have sent it to his appartment instead. Peter saw this early enough when he checked the tracking number of the packages he ordered. So the one Pixel 6 Pro with GrapheneOS is redirected now to the next Post pick-up place where it is save, and the thief who is around cannot steal it.

But this was not possible for the Pixel Pro 6 Peter wants to flash iodéOS on is for unkown reasons. So Peter gave the Swiss Post the instruction to deliver this package only on next Saturday when he is at home. How great this order can be given to the Swiss Post. And even better, the Swiss post is so great, that Peter can give the order to the postman to bring the new phone directly to his door which is at the third floor. Since who wants to stand next to his mailbox to whole day to be sure to take the phone out before the thief who wants to take it out, too arrives before Peter?
