Funny how that’s the case for most people 🤣

I would say that I RTFM about 75% of the times (give or take). Though I only do it to see if I can find something other than what I intended to use the software or hardware for.

You have plenty of options. I use Unraid because I bought it before it became a subscription. But I have a friend running Fedora server with Cockpit and running everything from docker containers. The options are endless. ProxMox is a great choice.

I just use Syncthing with versioning, and that’s how I manage all my files and their versions.

That alone is a document management and file versioning system without the overkill of Nextcloud (which is debatable).

Jellyfin. I’ve been waiting for Plex to do this for years. Enshitification is everywhere.

You asked for a podcast client, so here’s AntennaPod.

I have it on auto backup and share the backup with all my other devices over Syncthing.

No need to self-host anything.

I’m not French, never been to France, but this is a little step in the right direction. We should be happy and celebrate every one of these little steps. If nothing else, this makes some noise and starts turning heads towards more privacy friendly software.

Thanks for this. I wish more of us posted resources like this one more often.

Thanks so much. This is really in-depths.

Wao, this is not bad at all. I wonder how it behaves as a daily driver. It would probably be easy for me to adopt as I don’t have a single mainstream app in my phone at all.

That’s a first step. He’ll soon hate Google and move to GrapheneOS and start self-hosting. No, wait, that was me. Never mind.

Yeah, only to say “follow me on reddit” at the end.

Dude, it’s all good. I doubt anyone has entirely removed intrusion from their lives. I’ve been the nut in my family, friends and work environments (not complaining, I actually love being that person) on privacy and cybersecurity. I still keep my Gmail account, the one I used to buy all my movies when I thought Google wasn’t evil. My kids love using the Lenovo Google Assistant screens. I have 2 Chromecast with Google TV with the account I mentioned (my TVs do not connect to the internet). I play on my PS5 with my account and use my credit card (none of that temp credit card or cash or crypto), but I haven’t used my PayPal in years (but still have it). I buy shit on Amazon (it’s so convenient).

The point being, do what you can to safeguard your privacy as much as possible, as long as it does not affect your mental health. You need Facebook for whatever reason? You can minimize the invasion, and still use it. (Full disclosure, I fucking hate Meta, so I don’t use any of its platforms, or even their open source language model). I’m on GrapheneOS in my phone, use Linux exclusively in my personal life, but I’m picking up a surface pro 11th Gen for work this Friday. I need my job, everything is windows based, and it’s just getting harder to use Ms shit from Linux effectively. So, I use Windows. I have a good job, get paid well, so, I have to decide if that’s worth some of my privacy.

Live life man, enjoy, be happy, then worry about the rest.

This is a pretty nice initiative. Thanks for sharing.

That’s not a privacy win for anyone. What this is is a marketing win for Crapple and Google.

I get what you say about Obsidian just falling off of the face of the earth, but it is just that, markdown, so you can migrate it to any MD based notes app, like Joplin.

Now, I don’t think those meet the nice UX requirement.

I agree here. AdguardHome is way easier to configure and just have it work. Evidently, it’s always important to maintain, like any other software, but it is way less hands-on than PiHole.

I’m honestly more scared of portainer than actually running compose from CLI 🤣
