This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • hardened_malloc

    Hardened allocator designed for modern systems. It has integration into Android's Bionic libc and can be used externally with musl and glibc as a dynamic library for use on other Linux-based platforms. It will gain more portability / integration over time.

    Could try checking out https://grapheneos.org/, it looks like they are supporting the Pixel 4 for a little longer.

    In this case though, you would hope Google release an extra patch for the Pixel 4, they knew this bug was there and a fix was in the pipeline.

  • platform_frameworks_base

    >Their fix included a similarly large refactor

    Their change is hardly a big refactor. This includes all the new code, all the parameter changes everywhere the function is used, and two additional test cases. This is a tiny change.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • universal-android-debloater

    Cross-platform GUI written in Rust using ADB to debloat non-rooted android devices. Improve your privacy, the security and battery life of your device.

    Was a loyal OnePlus customer, but jumped to a used Samsung Note 10+. The Note has an amazing screen and much better camera. Be sure to use the Android Universal Debloater[1] and your favorite launcher, and it will feel like stock Android, just like OnePlus used to deliver.
