Have you had any privacy wins recently? Anything you’ve tried or tweaked to improve your privacy? Anyone who’s listened to something you’ve said? Do you have any privacy enhancing projects or changes you’re working on implementing
I managed to convert someone to Signal this week. Was having reception difficulties with a phone call (both of us in spotty areas) and after a drop out, managed to get them on board with Signal. A very notable quality improvement in the call which helped reinforce to them it was a good idea.
I’m going to work on setting up Pihole over the weekend.
Note: I did steal this topic idea from Techlore.
My street is finally getting fiberoptic internet! That means I’m going from around 4MiB/s to at least 400 more likely 600 MiB/s… with around 3/4 of that in upload speed. I have already canceled all my streaming services and external servers, the parts for my homeserver are on their way.
No more Google Drive, hello Nextcloud, no more Spotify, hello Finamp, no more Netflix and Crunchyroll, hello Jellyfin, no more Bitwarden, hello Vaultwarden.
I’ll finally be able to self-host all my Docker containers fir my website-, email- and game-server, I can have a homeserver for my media-streaming even when I’m not at home. I might even create my own Immich and Lemmy Instances. Just need to read up on NixOS and get a good, reliable system running.
Fuck big Tech, I’ll host my own shit and offer it to all my friends.
