Update on my journey to only running open source tech.

Sold a iPad Gen4 and managed to purchase with the funds:

1. Thinkpad T480s (running LMDE)

2. 2x Thinkvision displays

3. Thinkpad Gen2 dock

Locally hosting on an encrypted drive instead of Nextcloud and securing over https. Too much hassle over Nextcloud for <50GB

Bought a few Yubikey's to ditch goggle authy

Ditched Youtube for Freetube

Switched to Standard Notes

Bitwarden with KeepPassXC as local backup

Hardened Firefox with tweaks and Ublock

Configured NextDNS for my PC and Router

Using Thunderbird as an offline back up for Proton

Started using tab containers in Firefox

Nextup is ditching the IOS mobile for google pixel running Graphene. When I have a faraday bag, mission complete.

Love it. This has been my journey. I keep trying to encourage others to do the same.

People love connivence and if it takes more than a few clicks most are not interested .

Great first steps ;) Hopefully open hardware will be readynexrt decade...

Could maybe start building my own computers 😁
