  • Those who've switched to Linux in the last year, how is it going?

  • Nope everything works. I have one profile with play services for my banking apps, but everything else runs in my daily profile that has no play services and no GPS, just the barebones and all apps installed via Obtainium.

    I switched to FOSS apps for everything really.

  • I actually cut out all distractions besides Lemmy, so I reduced phone usage by 2/3rds in the process.

    I went form an iPhone 15 to a Pixel 6 that I got for free and it does everything I need. I am not a slave to my phone anymore, I just use it as a tool when actually needed - not as as a distraction machine.

  • Dropped Mac, iPhone and all US (cloud) services after 20 years in the Apple Universe.

    Was using Linux Mint first and just bought a brand new Tuxedo Laptop in November and am using Tuxedo OS now which is a Ubuntu LTS fork with KDE Plasma and Flatpak instead of Snap.

    I am really happy with my decision and not looking back. I feel like I have control over my stuff again and my computer is listening to me instead of forcing me to do things in a specific way that Apple deems correct.

    My phone is a Graphene OS for now until Postmarket OS or Ubuntu Touch are usuable and I am self hosting everything I need on Proxmox / Podman and I have a TrueNAS Server with a 64TB Raid running.

  • Why the EU is wary of targeting US services in a trade clash

    Jump

  • That would hurt them more than us.

    Same with shutting down cloud services for EU businesses / citizens / governments, their industry would never allow that as it would destroy more than 1/3 of their income - and not just short term but for good. If they do this nobody will ever come back.

    You gotta be realistic too. They depend on our money flowing into their economy more than you can imagine.

  • Grow some balls and strike back.

    Appeasement does not work.

    Short term pain for EU consumers is better than long term depression in a world controlled by a bully.

  • Your government is threatening to invade its allies! Our countrymen died fighting side by side with your military in your misguided wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    We don’t have the patience and time to distinguish between good and evil Americans anymore. As long as your country keeps acting like this you’re all guilty!

    Please read up about collective German guilt a term coined by the US when your country was still on the right side of history.

  • Dear Americans, go fuck yourselves.

    Even if you didn’t vote for this imbecile child, nobody cares. You’re all in this shit together!

    We are sick and tired of your excuses.

    This is your president and this is your country behaving like this.

  • Yeah I need to dig deeper into the best strategies. Regular WORM backups seem to be the industry standard in this regard. So for now my external USB HDD backups once a month seem to be quite good as a start.

    Thanks for your input, I appreciate the advice.

  • Infomaniak - if you’re reading this please work on your pricing transparency and don’t hide prices behind trial accounts.

    It’s incredibly hard to migrate to a swiss provider from a US provider if you cannot even see what you’ll be paying in the end.

    Your website is atrocious in that regard.

  • Yeah that’s one of the ideas I have in mind. Currently it’s mirrored at my brothers place on his NAS and I am doing regular backups on external SMR usb drives.

  • And Apple Photos!

    I finished transferring all my family members from Apple photos/icloud to my NAS (which is mirrored at my brothers place) yesterday.

    All together we will save ~40 USD per month.
