For example, I 3d printed a box over my outlet to protect my cables from my bed pushing against it. In addition, my cables never fall to the floor so they’re much easier to grab.

Eliminated Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and all of the affiliate companies and services for the mentioned ones, from my life. Now all I have is Linux based and self-hosted. My life’s toxicity levels dropped to pretty much nothing since then.
Woah woah woah, the post said one small thing. This would be a monster task for me as my whole life lives in Google drive.
step 1: Download ur drive data
step 2: Install Nextcloud on a spare pc
step 3: shove ur exported data into nextcloud
step 4: Profit
Nextcloud, I will have to look into that.
I have is as a docker in my UnRaid server. However, from what I’ve heard, the easiest way to get NC up and running real fast is in a Ubuntu server and installing Nextcloud from Ubuntu’s snap store. I can’t confirm that, but it seems legit, since it came from a DistroTube video in YouTube.
Do you need to buy a domain and figure ddns for nextcloud?
Last time I tried to use their ootb docker container it was hard to use it just from internal network.
You will probably have to get a domain, but some of the ugly TLDs can cost few bucks for a year, so it’s not that bad.
As for being able to access your Nextcloud from outside, if you don’t use it to share large amount of data often, I recommend looking into Cloudflare Tunell. It’s pretty easy to set up, and allows you to not only put a configurable firewall in front of your Nextcloud instance that you can for example geoblock traffic from other countries, but you also don’t have to deal with port forwarding, DDNS, or exposing your home network directly into the internet.
The setup is simple, you just download their cloudflared service, install it with a token generated in their web management (that ties it to a domain and tells it what port it should expose) on your Nextcloud machine, and it will automatically connect to Cloudflare server that will act as a port forward, but without you having to expose anything on your home network directly.
I don’t really access my Nextcloud from the internet that often, don’t use it to stream or share large files with large number of people, so I never had issues with it. But I’ve been told that it’s against Cloudflare ToS to use it for large data sharing, streaming or high-volume data transfers, so keep that in mind.
But it’s perfect for accessing my Home Assistant and Nextcloud when I need it.
You can DDNS and use duckdns or something like that. You should be fine.
But it was 1 thing, just includes multiple sub-things 🤣🤣
I just finished doing this too. It’s so freeing not being tied to mega corporations anymore.
What do you use for search?
Not OC, but I’m using Kagi and super happy. Before I use Kagi, I didn’t realise how bad Google result is. Its results are poisoned by ads and SEO nowadays.
I still am using Google and I hate how useless it has become since SEO started to become a thing in the last 5 or 10 years. Maybe I should try Kagi. Does it have location specific search results
more on the 10 years end of that, i remember thinking results were declining ~2011 when they decided to start being ask jeeves
Yeah, since about 2016 it has started to get really bad though. I remember when I would be looking for a solution to a computer related issue, all the top results were super useful Tom’s Hardware and AnandTech forum posts. But of course nobody does SEO for forum posts because they’re just trying to help people not make money, so instead now all of the probably AI written crap is in the top results which half the time is only barely related to what I searched
Yes, you can filter by almost any country in the world.
Cool, yeah I will definitely be trying it out thanks.
I have my own self-hosted instances of Ecosia, Searx and Whoogle.
