How do I start doing freelance programming? Is it worth it?

If I were you I'd go with being a system admin.
I'm new to the freetard community and am having a hard time pinning down what means what. I want to make my phone free of proprietary crap and make it as secure as possible. To do that, I'm doing all the "babbie's first x/y/z and familiarizing myself with the community.
>to make it simple, I'll spell out what I'm trying to understand and any corrections or advice would be appreciated
I own a Samsung Galaxy S4. On it is the android operating system. Because Android is developed by google, inherently the software may have backdoors or possible botnetting.
So I am now going to root the device, and replace it with a custom OS so that all the software is FOSS. Options from the wiki include Cyanogenmod, Paranoid Anroid, and Replicant.
Questions:
1. Apparently cyanogenmod has become corporate? Has anything been done to infringe on the privacy of the user?
2. Replicant has few supported devices, all of which are older, as well as the OS itself not having had a new release in a year. Doesn't this inherently leave it vulnerable to new threats or other problems?
3. As far as possibly choosing a new phone, for all the phone generals and info on the wiki, a lot of opinions seem to be given as to which is best for privacy/security without much of a consensus. Is there somewhere where all of the merits can be compared?
4. Do things like secdroid work with replicant?
Also, just any advice on security and tips for someone making the switch would be appreciated. I feel like what I'm asking is common and if there is a nice infograph or page on the wiki I'm ignoring please let me know.
Install windows and buy a 1070.
Bump.
Autists arguing over windows 10 again.
install gentoo
Which is better if I just want to dual boot it with windows to tinker with in my spare time?

Arch
Seconding Arch, purely because if you fuck up, reinstalling Arch to a workable system takes significantly less time than reinstalling Gentoo.
Arch isn't objectively better than Gentoo but it definitely takes less time to get up and running, especially if you have any familiarity with linux

Just tried it for the first time today on an hp mini 311. Its feels pretty snappy. I like it so far. Seems to be pretty good for just browsing and simple things like that
>>55432669
so its more max minimal use for potato computers?
>>55432703
It kinda seems that way though I'm no expert. I just always heard it ran well on older laptops and netbooks which is what made me try it

I have two more semesters to take at my community college before I transfer to Uni for the field. The only computer based courses I have taking up to the point is programming logic and a general computer class that was required.
What are computer-related courses should I take from what I'm given:
Special Topics in Networking
Information Technology: Ethical/Legal Issues
Microcomputer Concepts
Programming in "C"
COBOL, Beginning
Visual BASIC, Beginning
Shell Scripting
Programming in C#
Java Programming
Introduction to Networking
Introduction to Unix
Introduction to Cyber-Terrorism
>>55432455
I apologize for the grammar. Buzzzzzzed
>>55432455
Whatever is available during each semester that fits into your class schedule, and after reading the class description, sounds like something you would be interested in.
>>55432515
OP here. For me, C next semester, then C++ and Unix the following semester. The Uni I'm looking at, for some reason C++ is preferred over Java as a pre-req but either are acceptable.
Decent to see on a Uni transcript or replace Unix with something else?

Are there better deals out there?
I basically just went to pcpart picker and found the highest reviewed stuff for my budget (wanna keept it at least sub 250 for both - or 250 for the card, could do the SSD later, i just feel real dumb for getting the current SSD I have)

I am trying to send some data ~up to 50kb with an old GSM modem to a HTTP server. I tried to use chunked transfer, but server refused to accept it, but even with a normal http post the server is timing out. Sending the data can take up to 10 seconds.
Is a http post request not the right thing to use, or am i missing something?
>>55432171
install gentoo.
>>55432171
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
