Probably spend it on a favorites restaurant visit

From my experience, Microsoft has generally the worst web developers it seems. It’s not only the naming, but a lot of their websites work horrible. Teams never even worked in Firefox, say whut?

Discord channels can also be useful for that

Find someone (online) that can guide you. Make sure you do all the work though, and just let the senior put you KB the right track and only help you with things you’re really stuck at. That’s one way to get the experience you really need

That’s exactly one of the reasons why I find it shit. It’s not blocked in my country but as soon I need to go abroad, can’t use it anymore. There’s more reasons why it sucks and some of them are recent

I have good experience with brave search, after I moved away from the crap Qwant actually is

A more private and secure messenger than WhatsApp, signal and telegram, like simplex

I’m actually happy that they don’t follow the feature bloat trend.

I’d vote against shift phones. Support is also a crucial part of what you’re paying for and most of their communication on their website is in German, which doesn’t tell much good about getting customer support in another language. Maybe they don’t offer support in English or maybe very limited with longer waiting times.

It can also be used very simply though. It works out of the box with any changes necessary. The issue I find with gnome is that its simplicity quickly became a bottleneck for me. E.g. Konsole is just so great and I couldn’t live without it anymore

It’s based on unifiedpush standard https://unifiedpush.org/. So a central notification middleman like google firebase for all your apps (that support it). There’s messengers like mercurygram, fluffychat, Molly that support it and you can also send notifications yourself via a simple curl command.

It’s a more complex setup to have vpn active on your router though. It’s not noob proof, because you’ll get blocked from websites like Netflix. I have an openwrt based router that allows be to use device based vpn policies, which is more efficient and effective

I see a lot of support for Mulvad but they don’t own their hardware afaict. How can you trust that the hosting provided doesn’t have backdoor access? Azire for example owns, collocates and minimize their hardware (driverless etc.)

Ntfy - no more google reading notifications
Jellyfin - media served without questionable Plex account
Arch - on so many levels allows me a private computing experience
Posteo - simple but efficient email service
Resilio sync - cloudless syncing

Ssh over wireguard to a container in my bastion

Depends on how they’re implemented. Signal and WhatsApp are e2e encrypted, but they track your phone number, your contacts and IP address. Maybe even metadata

All fair points but some can be avoided by running discord in browser

Both of them are just encrypted cloud storage, not a private cloud like nextcloud

Their customer support is the worst I’ve ever experienced though. If nothing goes wrong,I guess they’re okay.

I’d recommend internxt or skiff instead as not self hosted alternatives
