the only one of these that surprised me at all was firefox going to shit, and that started months ago with a smaller thing.

Between this, Proton and Firefox’s change of terms, most of the advice I’ve seen on tech that protects your privacy seems like it’s going the way of the dino.

What’s proton’s change of terms? I’m not privy.
HighFructoseLowStand@lemm.ee 3 days ago
Firefox changed terms. Proton is just run by a twat.

Proton is great though.

im not aware of proton changing terms, but their CEO announced he has trump’s dick down his throat. well, as far as it’ll reach. between his lips, at least.

Proton is fine, they use encryption, but don’t expect anonymity, since it’s email ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Self hosting is increasingly the path forward for the privacy concious.

You’re right and it’s so fucking annoying. I really want someone to jump into the niche and provide support for those of us who get to remember how to sysadmin again.
I don’t want/need “plug and play” but I also don’t really have time to relearn everything I knew “in a prior life.”
Suggestions? At this point I’d love to have a backend for my email that isn’t Microsoft.

Can I introduce you to your new best friend, Yunohost? It’s a self-hosting platform based on Linux designed to run on a shitty old laptop, SBC, USFF PC or such plugged into your router. Browser-based, loads of extensions and tools, the hardest part it installing it - it’s no more or less tricky that installing Ubuntu, but that’s still involved for many people.

I run a small thinclient (HP Mini G400, but those small Lenovos thinkcentres and others also work) in my home. Cost me ~100€ plus a few Euro for a RAM update and a bigger hard drive and now I’m running Proxmox with the help of the Community Scripts:
community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/
It’s quite awesome, to be honest.

I just did a similar setup with a custom built NUC and I even got PCI Passthrough working. I want to get as many years out of this as possible. Proxmox is great.
