Background in biology and insurance - major career transition but yes, I love self-hosting! Have about 37 services running!

30 docker stacks

5mins a day involving updates and checking github for release notes

15 minutes a day “acquiring” stuff for the server

Is their app open source?

Check out WhatsupDocker. I use the same to inform me of updates. It is self-hostable as well. I then use the WUD widget for homepage to let me know that there’s an update available on my dashboard

Pop!_OS in mid 2021. Switched to Fedora GNOME in mid 2022, haven’t looked back, but am looking forward to Fedora COSMIC.

You can deploy the Joplin sync server using docker on a VPS or any other computer always on. I’ve been using it for about a year now, without issues, though I’m now transitioning to Notesnook now.

I had a lot of false starts with having to upload and tag >3000 documents initially. Finally made the leap and did it in December. I now use it regularly, but am still getting used to the new dynamic, but that’s a transitional thing. Overall, enjoy it and look forward to more features!

The mobile app is a separate project, and is meant as a companion app rather than full fledged, which I understand. Though, it is still lacking.

Weather - Breezy Weather

Stores - Obtainium & Aurora Store

Social Media - Clipious(for Invidious/YouTube), Infinity for Reddit, Eternity for Lemmy, Tusky for Mastodon

They open source all of their clients (when not in beta). They maintain multiple open source cryptographic libraries, in multiple languages, which a lot of developers and companies go on to use. They have a yearly fundraiser for open source and digital rights groups, which they contribute a $100,000 to each year.

Just because their server code is not open source, doesn’t mean they don’t support open source. It’s not an all or nothing situation. Binary thinking and classification is a very dangerous and naïve way to look at things.

It might be a good idea to do the exact opposite I.e. make a OSS whitelist. It will be much easier to maintain given the scale of applications/services/products.

Proton’s server code is not Open Source because it contains filter and anti spam detection which if released, would severely hamper their ability to detect spam and keep their users safe + detect abuse for their service.

Proton has had extensive security audits done and their claims have been backed up by independent third parties.

The definition should be further modified to include legitimate reasons for not open sourcing some code + having audits to back up claims.

If you’re referring to page 5, that compares 2021 to 2022. A huge proportion of the world still had travel restrictions due to covid in 2021, whereas in 2022, almost none did.

The only thing this project needs is good self-hosting support. It’s currently an absolute nightmare. Have tried it 2-3 times with absolutely no luck.

Issues for this have been open for over 3 years and there’s been absolutely no progress.

How does it compare with flatseal?

In terms of storage, ~37TB

Tried this out. Was disappointed with the fact that it uses browser cache to store data, which becomes near impossible when you have a large library. A solution with a db stored on disk would greatly be appreciated.

Also, software becoming distributable in a uniform way. Though here, I strongly would advocate for flatpak.

Fedora Workstation 38. Dual boot Windows on a separate drive, but this is solely for gaming. I know gaming on Linux has gotten better, but I want the best experience, which is much easier on Windows.

Have been using Fedora for a year now. Had used Pop OS for about 6months before that.
