Does that effectively hide root? Because the parent repo says it’s only “guaranteed” to work for Google apps.

And now, even when your WiFi is off they still turn it on to “help with location tracking.” And they’re talking about taking away the ability to turn Bluetooth off.

I’ve been self hosting for 2 or 3 years and haven’t been hacked, though I fully expect it to happen eventually(especially if I start posting my blog in places). I’d suggest self hosting a VPN to get into your home network and not making your apps accessible via the internet unless 100% necessary. I also use docker containers to minimize the apps access to my full system. Best of luck!

I’m not aware of a new interface. Did it just change or something?

I use the Nextcloud News app. It’s not as fully featured as others, but it does the job for me. Just requires a lot of setup and has a lot of extra stuff with it if you don’t want to actually use all the Nextcloud features.

Learn docker. That should probably be #1. That will open up a world of self hosting options.

That depends. How new are you? What do you already know?

You might check out this thread, especially that first post about the open letter.

I homelab to study and practice, and I switched around 1.19. It’s been very smooth for me. Literally just had to change the docker image I was using.

Not sure about the rest of those, but Obsidian isn’t OS either.

Called it!

See, that’s the situation where we just don’t use them. I’m talking about wiping the original OS and putting something that’s really FOSS in its place.

All I’m hearing is that we might be able to hack these devices and put full Linux on them.

That might be a difficult one to start, as a lot of Lemmy servers don’t allow NSFW content. Best of luck. :)

I’d say don’t be afraid to give it a shot, but be realistic with your view of its effect on you. If it helps, great! If not, don’t be afraid of abandoning it or handing it off. Gotta do what’s best for you in the end.

I’ve been in the same boat, wondering if it will just be more stress.

Just waiting for Boost to join this crowd too. It was a good run, but those fees will kill all the third party clients eventually.

For one, there’s everything they did to CentOS after they bought it.

I’m on OS TW as well and I’ve been loving it. It’s exactly what I wanted after being on Manjaro for so long. Rock solid and SUUUPER up to date. I love not having to wait for updates. It’s also my first experience with BTRFS and snapper and restoring from backups has been a breeze.
