  • Top 3 best SMS replacement apps?

    Jump

  • Textra

    This looks promising as a stock GrapheneOS message app replacement. One of the things that kinda irks me about the stock app is that reactions are displayed as text and the user doesn't have the ability to react to messages. With Textra both are possible. Thanks for the suggestion!

  • Top 3 best SMS replacement apps?

  • I'm looking for this too and am interested in any answers. The stock GrapheneOS messaging app is okay for just text messaging for me, but I'd also like to be able to have an interface to it on my PC, either in the web browser or as a separate app. Google Messages for Web is really the only thing I miss from enshittified Google Android. I wish Signal didn't remove their capabilities for making Signal the default SMS app on phones, but they likely had good reasons to do so.

    I'll share this post on the Fediverse; maybe we'll get more traffic and thus more answers that way. To be honest, though, I'm not expecting anything that satisfies.

  • How to maintain a local repository of docker images in case they go offline?

    Jump

  • I don't know if this will help you, but I wrote a tutorial on how to setup a local registry on the LAN on a Fedora Server or RHEL-compatible server. https://techne.hyperreal.coffee/tutorials/setup-a-lan-container-registry-with-podman-and-self-signed-certs/

    But anyway, it's unlikely docker.io or quay.io or ghcr.io will go completely offline. If anything they might experience a DDoS, in which case I imagine they have competent devops employees who would ensure they become functional again within a matter of hours.

  • Do you selfhost your own blog/website?

    Jump

  • I self host my own website, blog, and a dozen privacy-friendly alternatives and front-ends to various web sites. I use a dedicated remote server for this, so nothing is on my own bare metal. netcup.de has a variety of VPS options that give you good hardware resources for your money. You can get a VPS with 8 GB of RAM, 4 core CPU, 256 GB disk, and 2.5Gbps network throughput for $6.33 a month (not including initial setup cost). Compared to what Vultr and Akamai offer for the same price, this is a steal. The company is based in Germany, so you have to convert the euro prices to US dollars if you're in the US. The only thing about netcup.de is that your options for the location of your server are limited. They have one US location and the rest are in Europe. This is not a dealbreaker for me, though. And they guarantee 99% uptime. I'm pleased with their service. If you just want to host your personal services on a more long term basis and don't care about scaling and deployment turnover, then netcup is great. Akamai, Digital Ocean, and Vultr are more for short term disposable, scalable VPSes or web apps and they have excellent data center availability.
