I have a long list and goal of going as much FOSS as possible.

First, get a Pixel phone. Then run Graphene OS. Then use Proton VPN, drive and email with forwarding from gmail.

Then use Kiwi browser with Orbot VPN.

Then Amethyst for Nostr.

Then Obtanium for App downloads or Github APKs.

What am I missing?

Self-hosting Nextcloud or equivalent?

Is this the same as umbrel and start9? I'm not yet educated on what exactly I'll be hosting. Haha.

But I want to run a Pi BTC node.

Biased but star9 is the way to go. And they just came out with a new server running intel that’s much more powerful than a Pi for the same price basically

Nextcloud for self hosted cloud storage and calendar sync 🫡

Thank you!

Super easy to get started. Either fully self hosted or rent a vps with Ubuntu server and it shouldn't be many more steps than

```

sudo snap install nextcloud

```

On desktop its a great replacement for Dropbox and office suite with many more addons

Pretty straightforward tutorial

Snap 😭

I get it, but for server stuff, and especially setting up nextcloud its really nice

Go self-sovereign computing, nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll . Why use proton drive when you can host your own data securely with nextcloud 😎

Is the nextcloud data encrypted? I don’t know why I remember thinking it isn’t from research I did a few years ago

I need to do this next! Start9 is on my short list for 2024

Secure your home router or all that is useless

Tor? Or is there different firewalls?

No. Just change the admin and WiFi password. Use the EFF word list. Then create a guest network for visitors and home devices.

Don’t be the guy with the device default password.

Always. Done & done! Thanks for showing me EFF. I like it 🔥

Don't use routers from ISP

Another thing on my list now. Hah!

Thanks, appologies. Many steps.

Run pfsense!

Ink to paper to paper than.

Simple enough to grasp the concept of.

Or what say you, buddy?

Guaranteed unknown is difficult to second.

ProtonVPN😃

Maybe you should install Google apps😃 sanboxed😂

I've had doubts about Proton, especially how FOSS it is.

You're saying it's no good because they built I access to pull some of my data?

This is bad.

They (Proton) work for governments: CH, EU.

They've been working ca. 8 years to remove Google dependencies from thier source (Protonmail).

They've been working ca. 8 years to implement proxy option in Android app.

Do you think that they care about your security?

They collect tone of data and don't even tell how long they keep it (support).

In the meantime they introduce new products to bring you to their garden e.g. calendar, VPN, pass etc.

Evaluate it on your own.

Right. True that. At least Google isn't pretending.

K.

So what is a good alternative for Google products (drive, sheets, Word, email etc...)

Proton seemed more ideal.

"Right. True that. At least Google isn't pretending."

Exactly!

"So what is a good alternative for Google products (drive, sheets, Word, email etc...)"

Diversification - always. Don't put all eggs in one basket.

Consider selfhosting - it's not a rocket science.

✅️🤙 this is rad. I'm getting there... lots of switches to make. Thanks for link. I'd zap you if your wallet was linked.

Also. This seems like a burner account. Who *are* you. Hahaha.
