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

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.

It's much more productive to shitpost and interact on Nostr than any other social media sites, because of zaps.

Every time I think of zaps!

An E2E open source app like standard notes but with reminders, reoccurring events/tasks feature.

When caps?

Love it!

Why is my local umbrel/nostr relay working on Damus IOS but not working on Primal web and IOS app?

Moving away from apple and google feels great. Taken back ownership of my data. Moved over to a Thinkpad T480s running Linux Mint, setup a Yubikey with all my accounts that allow and finally setup several voip numbers to silo my communications. I will do a post regarding voip numbers in Australia as they were a bitch to setup and find a provider without KYC. Running Nextcloud on a remote server (probs best to run locally) and running my own BTC node on a Pi4.

Thinking about setting up multi-sig. What are peoples thoughts on Nunchuk's inheritance plan? $480 p.a is pretty steep but does offer a very simple option for non-technical people.

Would you rather manage your own multi-sig?

Would like to hear the pros and cons 😉

Looks like it’s bone broth for dinner 🍽️

I think we will see this in the next 24 months tbh

GM Nostr, great article regarding the inflation narrative by The Bitcoin Layer crew. I’ve been enjoying their free Substack newsletter.

Started watching Maniac, loving the aesthetics of the show.

Fk it, selling my apple products and buying Thinkpad T480s and running Mint.
