Chiming in to note that GNSS communications are actually receive only. A typical phone can’t physically broadcast a strong enough signal into mid-earth orbit (where most of those satellites typically are) to achieve the “pinging GPS satellites” issue.
Note this only refers to how that signal physically hits your phone. Once your position is deduced and digitized there’s an entirely different attack surface.
The other concerns (especially cell tower data tracking) are valid though.
Wild how you happened to have this totally original idea days after this exact diagram structure was in a video posted by a channel with 3M subscribers :) crazy coincidence
My favorite line in the fireship video this is from goes something like “FreeBSD is the real answer but I like being able to Google things”
I was going to say Guix but I’ve always been a little Gentoo curious
There’s something to practicing with the operating system family that most big commercial outfits use. Plus SELinux is neat, and there’s no Canonical ads.
I use Fedora with home-manager, btw. After using Arch and Debian for years I really think Fedora (or adjacent like Nobara) is on its way to being the de facto starter distro.

A rich person runs NixOS (for the military contracts apparently)
Avoid AMD? Why do you say that?
Agreed. That said, with a few remotes and a cron job git could facilitate “duct tape and zip ties” federation.

You mean send into the arms of a frugal Linux enthusiast ;)
Syncthing is my answer though I appreciate it doesn’t get to the root of your question.
There are local backups that include your system settings, text messages, contacts, call history and (optionally) apps. The one thing I want is the ability to pick a directory for the local backup so I can make it work with syncthing without jumping through hoops.
It’s also compatible with Nextcloud and WebDAV if those are options for you.
