I'd love to live in a solarpunk world where intellectual property was abolished. In the meantime, compromises are met and it's no horror at all.

I feel you, but maybe GPL is just an unpopular option (linux kernel never upgraded to v3, only a few oss web apps use affero, etc.)

As much as I love libre software, I have to say that Linux had bad support for drivers because of it, and its mainstream adoption for desktops was hindered for decades because of it. Only today, we celebrate a 5% user share.

An alternative permissive license doesn't immediately mean companies will do the worst. We live under capitalism, perhaps we can't just change that with a license. Their decision might future-proof the project to higher heights that are hardly seen today.

Look at Android, yeah it's a hell of a locked down system when you buy a new phone. But it works quite well, and their user share is at the very top (or second to Apple? Maybe, if you're American). However, Android allows us to have LineageOS and Graphene (which is MIT license, but that's beyond my point, iiuc it could very well be GPL for all of its customizations), and no matter which license these forks(?) use, privacy is preserved and taken to new levels. Meanwhile, Android or any of these alternatives support ARM architecture with great integrated video acceleration that is low power. These are not simply "nice features" but a requirement (e.g. saves energy, improved user experience, competitive to other platforms, etc.) and privacy is not really compromised.

P.s. I'm suprising myself with this comment, nearly 10 years ago I was obsessed with libre software. Today I find it more of a niche hobby, or intellectual challenge. Valuable nonetheless, sure. And hell yeah I'd like to have a linux phone which fully supports all software and hardware... But then, reality.

Nice write-up. I'd take this as a blueprint. Anyone can swap 3rd-party services to their like (e.g. headscale, xmpp bot on that vps, backblaze s3, etc.) and extend upon (e.g. oidc providers, mailboxes, arr suite, etc.)

Have you tried protonvpn-cli ? it has no GUI, of course.

Ah. Indeed! This is about just one workshop in the conf. I misread thay keyword.

From what I see, it's like distrobox (using Podman) for Fedora inmutable spins. Cool!

Ah, docker-mailserver and delta.chat could also be great for your case!!

Maybe you find it. But do keep in mind that FOSS projects tend to be smaller than commercial privacy nightmares. So, if you could live with the functionality being split across apps, it will be more feasible. It's also easier to maintain smaller apps, so there's many benefits overall..!

Have you seen any prices? That was decisive to me. I bought mine through porkbun

I never thought of it as "[tool] in development" but as "[tool] for developers"..! I suppose it can be interpreted with any preposition anyway..

I think you want to see "zfs import" command, to get your pool back con the new OS.

Around 100 megas, iirc. Try it out!

Wakatime has a rich ecosystem of plugins and integrates with most software applications (e.g. vim), and something similar might be said of project hamster. Anyway , I'd recommend timewarrior since it's what I had in the past..
