Am I naive to think that Qubes would be less work?

I’d set up a few different qubes for the apps kind of like graphene and then just let them update as normal. If I hear anything bad about them I just nuke that qube right?

A little extra up front work, but way easier to maintain?

Thanks for introducing me to posteo, was looking for something to leave proton for

Moved to what?

Are there any serious replacements for proton outside of self-hosting?

I’ve been spamming this lately but it feels warranted:

Please reach out to your family and urge them to stop using Facebook (or worse, any form of reels) if they still do. The onus is on the informed now. It’s not enough to just ask the tech barons to stop, we also need to divert their support.

And to think in ~6 months you’ll probably need to go through that whole song and dance again when you switch them to Matrix 😔

I’ve been a paid protonmail user for years. What should I use instead?

LibreWolf is king

Preparation is part of fighting.

Pretty sure the Iranian protesters would benefit from private infra now that the internet is shut down.

Getting graphite OS phones can let you do all sorts of neat things like duress pins etc.

The average person is forming their activist plans on WhatsApp and Discord, and that’s going to be a problem. I remember all those kids in Hong Kong getting scooped up because the government was reading their texts and hacking their phones.

Don’t downplay what you can contribute.

I remember my grandparents saying they dream in black and white like they’re old tv programs.

I didn’t watch many movies as a kid, but my cousins rented them all the time. I remember thinking they all talked and argued as if they were in a movie.

Really makes you wonder about us, and the next gen.

Why even care what the ai had to say? It’s not conscious.

The user is looking to deflect blame for giving a very fallible outside agent the ability to delete important information.

That’s on you my guy.

But not League of Legends 🫠 Thanks anticheat

Consider installing NextCloud on a private virtual Ubuntu/debian server. You can deploy it via docker or other various ways to make this easy.

This can essentially grant you full control over your data as long as you trust wherever you host the server. You can install other open source apps on top of it - like only office which can give you live shared file editing like google drive or one drive.

Nextcloud has phone app access. NextCloud supports markdown. NextCloud is fully open source, and actively developed due to enterprise support contracts, kind of like Fedora. You could secure access over the internet through a VPN, https and every other hardening scheme.

If you don’t trust any infrastructure then host it on a laptop, so many reliable used devices can be picked up for cheap. Expand to other devices for redundancy as you become comfortable.

Feel free to create accounts for family and people you trust, freeing your community from monopoly.

Ask ChatGPT for the steps in between. This is my personal set up, feel free to ask me any questions ChatGPT can’t help with, though I may be slow to answer.
