Let me begin! I came to win. Battle me, that’s a sin!

Thanks for the suggestions! Someone else has mentioned YUNOHost and that is definitely on my radar and my mental list of things to look into!

I have set up KeePassXC and KeepassDX, but that’s about as far as I have gotten this far. I’m currently trying to figure out Obsidian for notes and a general knowledge base.

This seems to be an extremely valuable resource. I love the GitHub awesome lists, and I definitely started this one as a reference point!

Nice! Yes, photo storage and backup as well as note sync, reminder sync, calendar, etc. are all very important micro services to me.

Indeed, I do agree but I’ve never done anything close to this magnitude so it is kind of intimidating for me. It is a learning process though!

I have no idea what Riseup, Tildeverse, or Disroot are but I will certainly look into it.

Great suggestion! I will definitely implement something like that.

I don’t want to replace email, per se. More so, the services that come along with it. Stuff like photo storage and sync, notes and reminder sync, calendar sync, and a lot of the hundreds of other small things that I have just been leaving up to Google that would cause a huge problem for me if I lost access.
I have the password situation handled with KeePassXC on my PCs and KeePassDX on my phone, but that’s about as far as I have come as of yet.

Yeah, it was dumb. I should have thought about it long before what occured, but I didn’t. But, in the end, I definitely learned my lesson.

That’s the only thing that I do have taken care of! I basically immediately grabbed them out of Chrome and put them in KeePassXC on my PCs and KeePassDX for my Android.
Baby steps!

I was unaware that those Community Helper Scripts existed! They should definitely be helpful at some point down the road!
- Comment on YSK: Little Free Library is a group that promotes local access to books on a more micro level, to build a stronger community of readers across the world 14 hours ago:
In my neighborhood, there are several of these “little free libraries” in people’s yards. I’ve always thought that it was a very cool idea!

Yeah. I guess that is true. The part about not being able to point me in the right direction. I have a shaky grasp of several network protocols and things of that nature. Nothing deeper than surface level at this point.

Thank you for the advice! After I get a firm grasp of the concepts at hand, I will look into NextCloud and Immich.

I’m not very familiar at all with Linux. I have used a few distros here and there where the majority of the work is done in a GUI. The CLI intimidates me, hahaha. I began exploring distros through WSL a little while back. I still haven’t “dove in” yet though.

I will certainly look into that. I’ve never heard of YUNOhost but I’m going to give it a look soon!

It’s a great idea to run it in a VM first, because I’m bound to make mistakes along the way. Awesome advice! I’m definitely going to be referencing your comment throughout the process! Saved!

Several detailed, easy to understand and very good pieces of advice! Thank you! I have definitely saved your comment for referencing throughout this process!

“For passwords Keepass & KeepassXC work really well on just about every platform. I share the password file using Syncthing and in years of doing this I’ve never had a problem that I didn’t cause myself and those were minor.”
In the time since this happened, I have set up KeePassXC on all of my PCs as well as KeePassDX on my phone, and taken all of my passwords 100% out of Chrome.
I’ll absolutely look into SyncThing! I’ve heard of it many times, I just haven’t used it myself yet.
Thanks for the info!

That’s a great idea. I’ve had a safety deposit box for years. I can just store it in there!

Thanks, I will certainly look into this after I get some sort of basic understanding of the concepts at play.

That is exactly my plan, to have this set as a long term goal with several incremental micro-goals, as opposed to attempting to do it all in a weekend. I figure making it a long term thing gives me much more of a chance to actually learn what it is that I am doing. Plus, at my level (no real networking knowledge to speak of) trying to do this in a weekend sounds like a nightmare, lol.

Thanks for the detailed explanation! I will definitely begin studying the document tomorrow!
