The avionics bay of an Airbus A380

This might sound weird, but Apple. I was NEVER disappointed by any of the products I bought. Sure, they are fucking expensive. Sure, they sometimes release really dumb products that most people probably shouldn’t buy (e.g. the 2015 MacBook). But if you make all the right considerations before your purchase, I’m pretty sure you will have a product that won’t disappoint you. At least that’s been my experience so far. That doesn’t mean that I’m perfectly happy with everything, for example I’m trying to switch away from an iPhone (I will definitely keep using macOS laptops/desktops though) for privacy reasons. I wasn’t really disappointed here, when I bought this phone, I knew what I was getting myself into, but Google isn’t much better.

Proton for secure email/calendar/whatever they offer now. I’ve been a subscriber to their paid plan for years, really happy so far.

IVPN and Mullvad for a trustworthy, private VPN provider

Darknet Diaries is just amazing, it’s always really interesting, I never get bored

The Lockdown is a pretty good podcast about digital (and physical) privacy and security

The Privacy, Security, and OSINT Show by Michael Bazzell @ inteltechniques.com was really great, but they took it down last year. Fortunately there is still a torrent of the full archive of the show floating around: https://lemmings.world/post/11120738

The Ask Noah Show is all about Linux and open source software

Basically everything produced by Jupiter Broadcasting is just awesome, including Linux Unplugged and Self-Hosted

Linux Matters can also sometimes have really good content (Here’s their Mastodon profile: https://ubuntu.social/@linuxmatters)

Brodie Robertson’s Tech over Tea (I’m sorry I don’t have a better way to link to it than Apple Podcasts)

The Linux Experiment’s weekly Linux & open source news podcast (which you can also follow from the Fediverse btw, Castopod is just an awesome piece of software)

I think that’s because KDE has just reimplemented it to work on Wayland, but it’s not there by default. This is a feature of X.

I also have Caps Lock als Ctrl, but I leave Cmd where it is by default, and I just disable the Ctrl key.

Some terminals use weird combinations like Shift + Insert, which is ridiculous, because it requires me to take my right hand off the mouse to hit the insert key

You can actually unlock LUKS from another machine over SSH: https://www.cyberciti.biz/security/how-to-unlock-luks-using-dropbear-ssh-keys-remotely-in-linux/

I’m pretty happy with this solution

You can get Vi keybindings in Emacs, I use Evil mode all the time

You can use Roundcube for web mail

Just want to try out self-hosting Ente. I’ve used their cloud-hosted service in the past, and I liked it. Now I discovered that it can be fully self-hosted. But Immich is great as well, I haven’t had any issues with it.

Just want to mention that TrueNAS is FOSS and unRAID is not. And I wouldn’t necessarily say that unRAID is much easier.

• Home Assistant
  There’s no fucking way I’m using a cloud service to control parts of my home, that just feels so wrong to me on so many levels

• Nextcloud
  There’s no way I’m saving my files on someone else’s computer (the Cloud). Even with encryption, it’s expensive. Hard drives are cheap. Put them in a server, install Nextcloud and you have your private, cheap, independent cloud service.

• Immich (currently migrating to Ente) for my photos

• Jellyfin + arr Stack
  I’m not paying $100/month for 5 different streaming services to have access to all the content I like.

• Navidrome for my (pirated) music

• Audiobookshelf for audiobooks and podcasts

• Pi-Hole with Unbound set up as a recursive resolver, cause why should I trust someone else with DNS?

I also self-host Matrix or Revolt servers as well as game servers for me and my friends, because it’s much cheaper than getting VPS or a hosted option, and I already have this server that I use for a bunch of other stuff, so I can also just use it for that.

Same. The closest thing I could find is !arctic@lemmy.world. On Android, I use !thunder_app@lemmy.world. (yes I always use 2 phones)

Shutting down 3rd-party apps

Found a fellow Arctic user, awesome!

Arctic > Voyager
since it’s not a web app, but an actual native iOS app written in Swift. Just like Apollo.

Common Rust superiority

It’s still slow and written in Bash/Python

It can even be self-hosted https://help.ente.io/self-hosting/
