  • Wherever you like! It’s just an HTML document.

    You’ll then need to tell your browser to use it as the startpage. For example, if the file is stored under:

    /home/user/homepage.html

    then set your startpage, homepage, or new tab page to:

    file:///home/user/homepage.html

    If your browser is installed as a Flatpak, you may need to change some settings in Flatseal to get it to work.



  • Drones also maintain the temperature of the nest/hive.

    Additionally, carpenter bee drones defend the hive (although they don’t actually have any defences, and therefore do this by repeatedly bumping into the adversary); and Asian honey bee drones help to kill murder hornets, by enveloping them (alongside other bees) and essentially cooking them to death.

    To be honest, the gender binary makes even less sense for bees (as well as wasps, ants, hornets, termites, and other hive insects) than it does for humans.

    Hive insects have three sexes: queens (analogous to females), drones (analogous to males), and workers (which could be analogous to intersex people, but it doesn’t really translate into human biology).

    Essentially:

    • Filen - Server in Germany, run by Filen. Has clients for Windows, macOS, Linux (both x86_64 and arm64), iOS, and Android; but not BSD or ChromeOS. You get 10 GB for free.
    • Nextcloud - Server wherever you want, as you host it yourself. Has clients for most platforms, including Android, and also supports WebDAV. Everything is on your terms. Also comes with things like a calendar, a notes app, and ActivityPub (I think). You can run NextCloud on a Raspberry Pi under your desk for cheap.
    • Syncthing - No server and no account, as it is strictly peer-to-peer. Has clients for Windows, macOS, Linux, BSD, illumos, Solaris, and Android; and there’s an unofficial client for iOS (Möbius Sync). Devices must be on the same network to sync (although there’s probably a way of getting it working globally). Totally free to use.

    I use Filen because I only have one Raspberry Pi (which is in use), so Nextcloud isn’t a viable option; and I had trouble getting Syncthing to work.

    1. You don’t need an account, and there is no such thing as a GrapheneOS account. Most of your apps should be able to be installed through either F-Droid, Obtainium, or the sandboxed Play Store. Some apps require Google Play Services, however, but LineageOS has an alternative called microG which works most of the time, and GrapheneOS containerises apps.
    2. GrapheneOS, I believe, uses the default gallery and SMS apps from stock Android; and they also have their own camera, PDF viewer, and web browser (Vanadium), which are developed in-house. However, cloud syncing and note-taking apps are not included. I would suggest either having a look on F-Droid, asking on this sublemmy, or checking out Privacy Guides to find some apps you’ll like.
    3. GrapheneOS doesn’t have a “cloud”, as such. This is a good thing, and it lets you choose your own provider if you must. I would personally recommend Filen for files and photos, and Cryptee for notes.
    4. It is completely possible to use multiple app stores. If you use GrapheneOS, I would say use F-Droid or Obtainium when possible, and the Sandboxed Play Store for everything else.
    5. We like to use things like NextCloud because it gives us full control over our data, among other reasons. However, it is not essential. I, personally, use Filen for my cloud sync needs; but I also tend to use physical storage a lot because of my shitty internet and cheap hardware. You also don’t necessarily need to pay for these services, but it’s polite and it can improve your experience.

    Good luck on your privacy journey, and don’t hesitate to ask more questions. In addition to Lemmy, here are a few good resources:


    • OS: Raspberry Pi OS Lite
    • Model: Raspberry Pi 3B+
    • WM: IceWM
    • GTK Theme: DarkCold
    • Qt Theme: Oxygen
    • Icon Theme: nuoveXT2 (the one from LXDE)
    • Cursor Theme: Oxygen
    • IceWM Theme: NanoBlue

    • Web Browser: NetSurf, w3m
    • Gemini Browser: AV-98
    • File Manager: PCManFM
    • Terminal: st
    • Shell: Zsh
    • OMZ Theme: Gentoo
    • Editor: Nano, L3afpad

    Notes

    • I understand the security implications of using NetSurf. Until I can get ahold of a Raspberry Pi 5 (which would have the specs to run Firefox), I will be extra careful.
    • I will be uploading my dotfiles and patched software to sourcehut soon enough.
