I‘m currently trying to bring up a rather complicated setup using garage. Garage on Homeserver behind firewall, vpn relay, peertube and other s3 compatible services on a vps. Garage works rather weill, the vpn is giving me a hard time though. Can recommend.
Having as much on one machine as possible has efficiency and maintenance benefits since you have less machines to configure. The drawback is that multiple services can add up peak demands and run the machine oom which you can either solve by leaving extra headroom or make them redundant imo.
Someone with more experience than me might have other ideas to add.
Bookmarked this post. You‘re a legend mate.
It really doesnt matter much imo. The obvious best choice here would be three copies on three media in three locations. You can also argue for more. It depends on your threat model. If you have an offsite backup that is reachable from the host machine, a ransomware attack can still devastate you. I have therefore made deaddrops for backups so no machine or user has access to all of them.
My general rule with backups is the standard you pretty much hear everywhere: 3-2-1
3 copies of every file you value 2 different media 1 off site
For example, you can have two copies on one drive and a third in the cloud. That way you prevent accidental deletion, bit rot and house fire.
So effectively its not FOSS.
Its not a surprise but it has not really received a lot of attention since people have reported it.

Also signal as a service is not really open source because it is not selfhostable. The server backend is proprietary afaik.
Ok, got it. Thats neat.
I‘m not sure I understand what you mean. If I wanted to move a section I would cut and paste it. What alternative don’t I know about?
I use nextcloud notes. They are .md and work wonderfully imo. You can either edit them through nc or through the editor on linux (or vs code on windows). Tried obsidian, never got into it and its not open source.
I begin to really like you! Probably the first person I have ever heard say that except myself. The open source community is pretty much the first one that is 100% stakeholder value (the people who use it, make it, more or less).
I figure that should be the same everywhere. No single figure that bankrolls a bunch of people and gets filthy rich while they barely get by.
I agree. What do you think would help?
I have heard of a law or precedent that put CEOs under the reign of the shareholders instead of the company, customer and society.
Do you happen to know what legislation did that change? Maybe that needs to be overturned.
Edit: I found at least the term. It is called shareholder primacy.
I don’t know. I just used the first name that came to mind. :)

Thanks for elaborating a bit. I opted against the password app since I wanted to diversify services. My nextcloud is a bit finnicky at times and wants to be updated before you can proceed with stuff. Having no access to my passwords in that moment would be harsh. So I opted for vaultwarden and it even has firefox integration, cli integration and a desktop app for linux (dunno about windows, honestly). I‘m not sure if it was a bad idea to put NC‘s database on spinning discs though. Maybe that was stupid.
As you can see, very much a WIP as well. I feel like we need some kind of place to accumulate iCloud -> NC expats. A lot of good could be done there.
I‘m on matrix as well but i‘m not proficient yet. My wife is still on whatsapp so I need to be patient. We have gotten rid of twitter and reddit which I count as a win.
What other projects do you have? Feel free to send me a dm with your matrix username if you want to keep in touch about this.
I‘m also migrating from iCloud (to NC among other things) and its been slow to say the least. Things I struggle with:
For those who don’t know NC, these things are 1/10 of the stuff that NC is actually good at imo.
How is your experience so far?
As someone with a special interest in psychology I would say that being faced with inequality compared to our parents, we‘re definitely off to a bad start.
Our outlook on the future is fundamentally worse. The planet is fucked, most of us will never own a house, stuff is getting more and more expensive while we‘re being exploited at work. All while we‘re told the world is so much better than it was.
Those of us with the awareness to recognize that we are not seeing an improvwment are the ones that are worse off. I reckon it is another reason why social media and other distractions are rising and stress diseases are insanely high.
TL;DR: You can be factually better off while being constantly reminded how bad the situation really is and feel worse. We’re in a psychological crisis.
I‘m sorry but this is not correct. People used to live in one worker households and got by. The housing prices (only thing I could find) in the US has tripled since the sixties which is an increase of 7% pa.
GDPs are rising fast but wages are not keeping up. Here‘s a source for europe: https://www.ft.com/content/0a245c28-6cc3-11e9-80c7-60ee53e6681d
It’s not like poor white people are having ouwie now. The 1% are 10000%ing their income while the rest goes home empty.
Can you give an example for that? I‘d like to understand what you refer to.
I use ionos since 10 years and I‘m very happy, but only for webhosting stuff. The VPS Services I get from Hetzner and I havent really tested them.
I did have a meeting with IONOS this week though about it and I‘m positive about the UI for new vps owners since its quite easy to grasp but I dont think they’re a better option than hetzner.
