Do you selfhost paperless-ngx?
Indeed I do. It’s not necessarily something I find myself using every single day, but it’s come in handy on so many occasions, I can’t imagine NOT having it now. I’m (slowly) scanning all my existing paper archives in and shredding them, only keeping the physical copies of things that make sense (eg. birth certificates). The more data I put into it, the more useful it is.
I’m almost 100% paperless nowadays, which I achieve using (heh!) Paperless-ngx.
So far, the best FOSS Android app I’ve found to go with it is Paperless Mobile. It’s pretty well featured, and is being actively developed.
Great list - picked up a couple new ones for myself. Thanks.
Adding to your list:
That’s not a bad idea. At the very least, let’s take it back out of the hands of big tech. They can’t be trusted.
I hate where this is going, but accept that it is inevitable. As much as I value my privacy, I’ve well and truly fallen into the trap of using tap and pay with my phone. I don’t think I’ve carried cash in any meaningful quantity for years now.
Social media truly is a cancer
ROFL - just re-read it and tried to imagine how it would’ve gone down when I was a teenager. Stroke is an apt description!
I scrubbed all my Reddit post and comment data just before the blackout then, after the admins started doing their stupid shit and booting mods out of subs so they could open them again, deleted my account entirely.
I’ve now blackholed all of Reddit’s domains on my Pi-hole servers and added a regex to exclude the same domains from any search results on my Whoogle instance.
Spez can get fucked. Not one more bit of data from me to Reddit.
I’m now working on getting my own Lemmy instance up and running for my close circle of friends/family that are interested in also making a break.
Interesting - I wonder if this “hack” (side note: article’s author needs a slap in the face with a fucking chair) still would’ve happened had they not moved the Office from Akamai to their own Azure CDN…?
Before the protest, I completely scrubbed my post and comment history.
For the blackout itself, I closed the browser tab, uninstalled Infinity, and blackholed Reddit’s domains on my Pi-holes.
After the first couple of days of the blackout, once the admins started seizing control of certain subs and booting out the mods, I went back and deleted my account.
Finally, I re-blackholed Reddit’s domains, and also added them as an exclusion regex to my Whoogle searches, so they don’t even turn up in my search results.
Fuck those cunts. Not one more bit of data from me again.
What, for proper names and things like that?
