Technical Architecture for Digital Independence
Core Concept
Smartphones represent a monolithic architecture that needs to be broken down into microservices for better digital independence.
Authentication Strategy
- Hardware security keys (YubiKey) replace mobile authenticators
- USB-C insertion with button press
- More convenient than SMS/app-based 2FA
- Requires backup key strategy
- Offline authentication options
- Local encrypted SQLite password database
- Air-gapped systems
- Backup protocols
Device Distribution Architecture
- Core Components:
- Dumbphone/flip phone for basic communication
- Offline GPS device with downloadable maps
- Utility Android tablet ($50-100) for specific apps
- Linux workstation for development
- Implementation:
- SIM transfer protocols between carriers
- Data isolation techniques
- Offline-first approach
- Device-specific use cases
Data Strategy
- Cloud Migration:
- iCloud data extraction
- Local storage solutions
- Privacy-focused sync services
- Encrypted remote storage with rsync
- Linux Migration:
- Open source advantages
- Reduced system overhead
- No commercial spyware
- Powers 90% of global infrastructure
Network Architecture
- Distributed Connectivity:
- Pay-as-you-go hotspots
- Minimal data plan requirements
- Improved security through isolation
- Use Cases:
- Offline maps for navigation
- Batch downloading for podcasts
- Home network sync for updates
- Garage WiFi for car updates
Cost Benefits
- Standard smartphone setup: ~$5,000/year
- iPhone upgrades
- Data plans
- Cloud services
- Microservices approach:
- Significantly reduced costs
- Better concentration
- Improved control
- Enhanced privacy
Key Takeaway
Software engineering perspective suggests breaking monolithic mobile systems into optimized, offline-first microservices for better functionality and reduced dependency.
