    About a month ago I lost my phone somewhere in my house. I still have not found it.

    What really stings is that the thing I was doing with it when I lost it was creating a backup onto a flash drive, which is lost along with it.

      Ouch! You couldn’t use any of the services to find your phone? Usually they can ring your phone even if it’s on silent. At least you know it’s in your house! I once hung my hearing aid on the chandelier while on the phone. Completely forgot where I placed it and took at least a week to find it. Might’ve been longer since my parents and I were starting talks of buying a new one before I happened to look up at dinner. All that to say, it will turn up! Don’t lose hope!

        GrapheneOS doesn’t come with any preinstalled (doing so would kind of go against the whole privacy ethos), and I hadn’t yet gone through the hassle of setting up an Owntracks server so I could have a third-party one. I tried calling it, but by the time I realized it was missing, it was out of battery.
