Lineage is great, been using it for years

Try Docker, or if you want to invest a bit more learning time for a huge convenience pay off: NixOS

No, SearXNG is great

When you register a domain, you own the whole name-space of that domain:

All possible sub-domains of your domain are yours.
All possible URLs on the domain are yours.
All possible email addresses on the domain are yours.

On your domain, you are also free to choose the linked services such as web, email calendar etc. If you are not satisfied with one provider, you are free to switch to another one at your own convenience.

Actual is libre and gratis

It’s usually uncomposted manure or the proximity to pasture soil that infects vegetables with E. coli, so it’s still a result of the animal agriculture industry.

Add Njalla to that list

You should still be able to access everything through tailscale once you switch everything over to use local IP addresses.

Why not use most of the web versions of the non-free apps you mentioned? No Google needed.

Is that unique to Joplin?

What is the baby supposed to be in this case?

Why not just delete your account? We’re on a privacy sub community after all.

80% of our produced energy goes to aluminium smelting.

By definition a communist society is stateless, moneyless, and classless. Non of which China has achieved.

Same, but after unlocking the bootloader, it had a very clean LineageOS install.

Just self-host a VPN on a VPS so you can enable disk encryption and disable logging.

Let me recommend Migadu, as email privacy is kind of a difficult topic. They offer complete email freedom for a very reasonable price; $20 ($10 for students) a year. They explain my main reasoning why I would avoid Proton:

When an email provider rations email address of your own domain name-space at a fee, they are asking you to hand them over control of your name-space. There is zero cost associated with additional email addresses and it is time you learn about it.

When email provider does not offer you standard email protocols that work with standard email clients, they want to lock you in for good. You are tied to using the dedicated applications offered by provider. The freedom of using a better or more suitable application is taken away from you. Protocols were standardized for a reason and today there are hundreds of email clients built for users with different needs.

When email provider alters messages data in non-standard format, they deny you data portability and with it freedom of changing providers.

Email is a collective effort of messaging interoperability. It is built around open, public standards and runs mostly on open source software maintained by folks believing in an open Internet, privacy and personal freedoms. Let’s not give away our freedoms for some Kool-Aid.

Exactly why I left that company.

Specifically free (libre) licences, as permissive licences allow corporations to improve/adapt the software without contributing back to the community.

I only work on software with GPL compatible licences now.

I was working for a place that was the market leader in a certain niche of simulation software. Their simulation was about 10x more efficient than their competitors. However, that version of the software is strictly off limits for the public, and made a version which they sold with a sleep statement so that it was only 1.1x faster than the next best solution. That way they could remain market leaders any time the competitors released a better version. Even though many systems rely on growing simulations to simulate bigger scenarios that could help save lives.

Just an example of capitalism impeding progress.
