  • I wouldn't actually selfhost email, it's not particularly easy and there are many issues you will probably encounter. I recommend ProtonMail, it's $3.50/month if you only need email and for $8/month you also get calendar, cloud storage, a password manager and a great VPN. Also, they are very focused on privacy and encryption and their apps are open source. Alternatively you can go with IVPN or Mullvad, both are great. Digitalocean has been fine in my experience, have you had any issues with it?

  • You can get it from F-Droid

  • RustDesk is FOSS, written in Rust and can be selfhosted.

  • Something like StackOverflow/StackExchange would be nice. Would also like to see a federated platform for designers/artists (some Dribbble or Adobe Behance alternative).

  • I was just curious. Use whatever works best for you.

  • It's definitely worth it. And it's better to help independent creators instead of giving money to Google or other shady big tech companies.

  • I can give you some video recommendations for each channel I listed if you want to

  • Nebula is pretty cool too. It's $5/month, but it's run by indie creators, not some big tech company and you get access to some really great content. And you can use Grayjay to access it.

  • Sure, but I don't want to. SPAs are nice, but I also try to include a JS-free fallback solution that is loaded when the client doesn't support Javascript. I think this is the best approach to web development. A good example for this is LocalMonero's No-JS mode. You can use the toggle in the upper-left corner to disable all Javascript on the website, and it will still have most features. I love it.

  • Don't forget FreeTube

  • If you use Tubular or Libretube, yes. I think revanced also has some option to enable it.

  • These are some Nebula creators I like

    • TLDR News (and their other channels)
    • NileRed
    • PolyMatter
    • ColdFusion
    • TechAltar
    • Ali Abdaal
    • Thomas Frank
    • Wendover Productions
    • RealLifeLore
    • Climate Town
    • Half as Interesting
    • Real Engineering
    • BobbyBroccoli
    • EposVox
    • Not Just Bikes

    I still occasionally use YouTube, but much less than before. I also enjoy Odysee and PeerTube. Grayjay is an amazing Android app to manage all these streaming platforms in one central place.

  • I wouldn't ever give Google a single penny. Instead, I pay for Nebula, allowing me to watch high quality videos and documentaries while supporting indie creators. And it's just $5/month.

  • When overpriced streaming services keep becoming worse and worse, it's hard to avoid piracy

  • Source: Official data from extension stores

    This table does not include Safari extensions, browser extensions installed through Linux package managers like the firefox-ublock-origin package on Arch Linux, browsers with built in adblockers like LibreWolf or Brave, modded YouTube mobile apps like Vanced/Revanced on Android, uYou for iOS, alternative frontends like Invidious or Piped, desktop clients like FreeTube, other mobile apps like Newpipe, Libretube or Yattee or other adblocking solutions.

  • If we also count other (less popular) adblockers, the Microsoft Edge addon store, browsers that come with pre-installed adblockers like Librewolf and Brave, people who use the package manager on their Linux distro to install browser extensions, alternative YouTube clients like Vanced/Revanced, Newpipe and Libretube as well as alternative frontends like Invidious and FreeTube, I'm pretty sure we still come out at over 100 million.

  • You mean XCP-ng?

    • XCP-ng on my virtualization host
    • TrueNAS Core on my NAS
    • Ubuntu Server on my Jellyfin media server
    • Debian on my other server that I use for testing purposes
    • DietPi on my Raspberry Pi
  • Wouldn't Linux be easier to manage and better in terms of performance?
