small status update: i tried the update packages (from both cfirmwareupdater and mi community) and it errored out with the message that the update could not be verified. so i probably need to go the fastboot route anyways so i probably just use an up to date custom rom directly

Thanks for your input. Installing lineage os is something I have thought about. And I’ll probably do that since it’s eol for Xiaomi.

The model codename is sweet like you deduced (the EEA version btw). I have found those unmodified Roms as well, which is the reason why I am so confused here.

On another note: What made you choose crdroid over stock lineageOS?

They probably just search for the information they already have and if somewhere your Name + Address and a SSN shows up it’s quite likely that this is your SSN

What are your reasons for using docker swarm instead normal docker if you don’t want to do replication?
