I see the same thing when using the Forge tiling extension in Gnome.

Fedora is a good choice for this use case and I would recommend it for the use case of the Linux ecosystem.

Background in biology and insurance - major career transition but yes, I love self-hosting! Have about 37 services running!

They’ve redefined privacy to be privacy from everyone except themselves, and then indoctrinated people that they are the most privacy conscious company.

I’m in the UK - pretty good. Haven’t had any major issues, using Lebara and EE

Yeah, I did consider it - you can see the last point in the original post - basically I feel these are extremely underpowered and I’m not sure about Linux’s support for hardware and whether its truly tablet ready. I’d love to hear any opinions on the contrary if you’ve used these devices though

I’m pretty happy with my Pixel 6 for now, and carrying around that bulky phone doesn’t make sense for me personally.

Cool. I guess I’ll have to reconsider the current Pixel tablet again then - without the dock though, don’t think that’s worth it. Thanks!

Do you have the dock too? Is that at all helpful?

30 docker stacks

5mins a day involving updates and checking github for release notes

15 minutes a day “acquiring” stuff for the server

Is their app open source?

Check out WhatsupDocker. I use the same to inform me of updates. It is self-hostable as well. I then use the WUD widget for homepage to let me know that there’s an update available on my dashboard

Has there been official communication from Signal that they won’t?

Pop!_OS in mid 2021. Switched to Fedora GNOME in mid 2022, haven’t looked back, but am looking forward to Fedora COSMIC.

For software I’d recommend using Frigate for ally the processing and then integrating it with Home Assistant.

You can deploy the Joplin sync server using docker on a VPS or any other computer always on. I’ve been using it for about a year now, without issues, though I’m now transitioning to Notesnook now.

I had a lot of false starts with having to upload and tag >3000 documents initially. Finally made the leap and did it in December. I now use it regularly, but am still getting used to the new dynamic, but that’s a transitional thing. Overall, enjoy it and look forward to more features!

The mobile app is a separate project, and is meant as a companion app rather than full fledged, which I understand. Though, it is still lacking.

Social Media - Clipious(for Invidious/YouTube), Infinity for Reddit, Eternity for Lemmy, Tusky for Mastodon

They open source all of their clients (when not in beta). They maintain multiple open source cryptographic libraries, in multiple languages, which a lot of developers and companies go on to use. They have a yearly fundraiser for open source and digital rights groups, which they contribute a $100,000 to each year.

Just because their server code is not open source, doesn’t mean they don’t support open source. It’s not an all or nothing situation. Binary thinking and classification is a very dangerous and naïve way to look at things.

It might be a good idea to do the exact opposite I.e. make a OSS whitelist. It will be much easier to maintain given the scale of applications/services/products.
