I just got it set up yesterday and it’s so good

Replying to save this for later. I’m about to start on my own selfhosting project next week so I’ll definitely add this to my list

The trump admins have both been a shitshow but realistically they’re just taking the problems this country has always had and is blasting them on full display, and now people are finally starting to realize this country has ALWAYS been a capitalist shithole.

I’m just using Nextcloud’s Memories app. I prefer to keep my photo backups in the same place as everything else in my cloud storage anyway, so it works nicely

I’ve been using Magic Earth for navigation, it’s not FOSS but still has a lot of strong vouches in these sorts of communities, I believe their privacy policy has been thoroughly vetted if I recall. Works great and does what it needs to do.

For Gmail, I highly recommend Tuta, fantastic service. Paid plans are very affordable. The only thing I wish their client had was more in-depth rule customization but I may just be stupid. Admittedly setting up email forwarding from my gmail accounts has made me a bit lazy in fully switching over every single account from gmail to a tuta address, but I’m getting there.

That shitshow is EXACTLY why I went with Tuta instead of Proton

Yep, and I hate that because I want to support the artists and mostly listen to more obscure shit these days. Plus bandcamp is owned by Amazon I believe so even though the artists get more out of it, there’s still a Bezos tax.

Then there’s figuring out how to stream it remotely while driving or whatever. It’s a whole thing.

I do genuinely really like Tidal so far, but I’m not familiar with their company’s political stances or anything, and of course it’s not FOSS at all. Spotify is dead to me though.

Seriously. They donated millions to the trump campaign and barely pay artists pennies.

The music space is one of the biggest things we’re lacking platforms for right now for sure. I’ve shifted over to Tidal for the time being, but I swear I’m just tempted to go back to local files at this point.

I’ve been using it for a few months now. Works just fine, doesn’t do anything fancy but it doesn’t need to. Filter rule creation is pretty limited, and the desktop client doesn’t play well with my VPN for some reason, but otherwise it works fine.
