Hi there, I'm still using a OnePlus 7 Pro as my daily driver, using a Custom rom (YAAP) and the phone is still going strong. But after 7 years, I feel it's time to get a new phone.

What I care about most: a responsive phone that is going to last a long time, good battery, good enough camera, and possibility to install custom roms in the future. When looking at the second hand prices In the UK, I've narrowed it down to two phones, at roughly the same price: OnePlus 13 or Google Pixel 10 Pro.

The Pixel line is known for GrapheneOS, but it seems the OnePlus 13 has a decent community around LineageOS.

What do you think? Any advice for one phone or the other, or perhaps another option I haven't considered?

I use a simple 2.5" external usb drive connecter to my router as a shared drive on my home network. I also use it to run my router's torrent download tool and get new content.

The external drive is not new and I worry that with the constant load it might fail one day. It's also slow sometimes when watching content directly from it with kodi.

What would you suggest I replace it with? Would a 3.5" external usb drive be safer?

I’m using Connect and am quite happy with it. I’ve tried Sync, Infinity, Jerboa and a few others. None seems to allow me to swipe between an open post (and their comments below) and the next one by simply swiping right (or left for the previous post).

I was wondering if I was missing anything?

Connect has an experimental feature doing something close to it but it’s not perfect.

I thought there would be some of you at least!
