Let’s not forget the dozens of big tech companies run by absolute morons that bring products that nobody wants or needs and only stay afloat due to legacy, stealing data & selling it, and/or venture capital.

You just described Twitter/X

I prefer Tailscale Funnel for these kinds of things. NetBird and ZeroTier also work just fine if you don’t want to expose your services to the public.

If you use 9.9.9.9, you should try Mullvad DNS (with adblocking) or AdGuard Public DNS

I recommend lemmy-ansible or the Docker install guide.

According to the roadmap, the project will get open-sourced before the end of 2024, so there is some hope.

I hope they implement ActivityPub, so it can federate with BookWyrm

Well, almost every Linux distro includes Firefox. Maybe that’s where these downloads are coming from?

My main browser is LibreWolf. I occasionally the Mullvad Browser or Tor. Mull is my favorite on mobile.

Mull is really great, +1

Yeah, that’s exactly what the 3-2-1 rule says.

• 3 copies of your data
• 2 different kinds of storage media
• 1 off-site backup

Both Piped and Invidious have CC, but unfortunately no queue support.

But it can’t be self-hosted, right?

Perhaps NetBird, ZeroTier or Tailscale? If you want to make a service available publicly, check out Tailscale Funnel.

I’ve been using TubeSync, but I switched to Tube Archivist. Works very well, I’m happy with it.

I don’t recommend Debian for Apple Silicon, just stick with Asahi Linux. There aren’t any big issues, except the fact that not all Docker images are built for arm64.

You can even self-host it and use it with Nextcloud.

I use self-hosted draw.io together with the Draw.io Nextcloud integration for a diagram, and Wiki.js to write down some important information. If you prefer something lighter, check out DokuWiki. There are many other options for a Wiki like Bookstack or django-wiki.

Check out WireHole or openvpn-pihole

Not exactly self hosting but maintaining/backing it up is hard for me. So many “what if”s are coming to my mind. Like what if DB gets corrupted? What if the device breaks? If on cloud provider, what if they decide to remove the server?

Backups. If you follow the 3-2-1 backup strategy, you don’t have to worry about anything.

LocalSend has been great for me. It also works over NetBird or Tailscale. The same goes for KDE Connect.

First they tried to destroy FOSS, then they realized that they can make money and gain control using open source software, so now they pretend to support it. Microsoft is a monopolistic piece of garbage that I’m staying away from at all costs.
