  • @chi hello! My guides are specifically about self-hosting with a VPS because an old machine opens up a can of worms for newbies and a VPS is so much easier.

    Sorry I can't be of help but the YunoHost official guides are superb: https://doc.yunohost.org/en/admin/get_started/install_on

  • @Tutanota yes the article was great EXCEPT for the section on social media that included so many travesties:

    "A promising new contender is W, a 100% European platform (but nothing to do with the EU, as conspiracy theorists have claimed)."

    Where do I start?

    1) W Social is a fork of ATProto (aka Bluesky, something that the writer dismissed).

    2) "Conspiracy Theorists"? Well, Euronews was the first to fact check with the European Commission, which denied any involvement.

  • @_elena Hello Elena! I hope you're doing well.

    I'm looking to self host as well but would like to buy a small server that is easy to set up with Yunohost - I can even buy it physically in Paris. Do you have any recommendations or tutorials?

    VPS prices have risen too much because of the RAM price issue worldwide so I want to save costs by putting the server at home. I use it mainly for streaming videos with jellyfin and storing files.

    Have a wonderful day and thank you for your work!

    It doesn't mention search engines at all which I consider one of the most invidious big tech tools - tracking, biasing, advertising …

  • Also I can't but read their URL as

    TCP/IP e-line

    instead of TC Pipeline, but that's probably just me and I don't know if it's intentional.

  • @Tutanota I think it's great that, finally, privacy oriented alternatives are getting the attention they deserve. But this must become a principle to defend on itself, because it took the tech bros political marriage to Trump in order to change minds. When these tech bros were still large donors to the democratic party, privacy and digital rights were widely derided or even frowned upon. So hopefully we learn from this, and start taking a longer term position on our digital rights.

  • By the way, if you happen to be and live in , and you're looking into making my joke above a reality, look into the Trans Continental Pipeline

    https://tcpipeline.org/

    that might help you relocate to a safer state.

    (Sadly, and predictably, they're currently swamped with requests.)

    @d1re_w0lf @jd thank you for the recommendations! GetOutline looks a little basic but AppFlowy is exactly what I need: something FOSS, self-hostable, with sophisticated content blocks. I had never heard of it before, so thank you! (now, if there was a way to turn off all their AI nonsense, it would be even better) πŸ˜…β€‹

    Have you ever wanted to have Theo de Raadt give you his fortune in your GNU Emacs session? I made a package some time ago which serves exactly this purpose. You can find the package, as well as it's history on Codeberg with the following link. It is currently my only Emacs package, but I plan to make more when it becomes useful to.https://codeberg.org/amadaluzia/theo.elAppending to the history after the package was published onto Codeberg, I ended up in a call where me and @izder456 were talking about theo.el. I believe in that call, it was also reposted in the OpenBSD room on Matrix. I also remember being suggested to put it on MELPA, so that is exactly what I did.After creating the pull request and fixing all of the issues that stopped it from being pushed into MELPA, it couldn't make it on as it was a pretty repetitive package, and there were about 5 other `fortune`-esque packages with much more customisability. However, I now have a better package because of MELPA's guidelines, and I believe that I can still give attention to the package, even if not through MELPA.That's why I wanted to talk about it here, because maybe you are interested in having a fortune package for your GNU Emacs. If so, and assuming you have straight.el, you can simply copy the following snippet into your init.el. After that, you should have it installed.https://gist.github.com/amadaluzia/be96e325326a9d66619543af410e4bf4Let me know how the package goes for you. I would love to improve the GNU Emacs ecosystem further, as a GNU Emacs user.#opensource #foss #emacs #openbsd #bsd #runbsd

    # "Using LibreOffice and other Free software for documents as a lawyer"I was asked recently about how I get on using LibreOffice for document-related legal work, and I promised to write down some thoughts.The short answer is that I use a mix of LibreOffice and other FOSS tools, and I’m very positive about it, with no particular concerns.If you have questions, please do ask!https://neilzone.co.uk/2025/11/using-libreoffice-and-other-free-software-for-documents-as-a-lawyer/#LibreOffice #Linux #FOSS #lawfedi #vim #git #Markdown

    More and more governments and organisations are freeing themselves from vendor lock-in! The Austrian military has moved 16,000 PCs to #LibreOffice – getting vital digital sovereignty in the process: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/09/30/austrias-military-switches-from-microsoft-office-to-libreoffice/ #foss #OpenSource #freesoftware
