Timezones are a pretty good identifing aspect to your browser so enabling privacy stuff often messes that up.

Sure you can, but I can’t follow someone on twitter or bluesky from other platforms.

What’s the solution for transport around farms and factories and such then? Trucks will always be needed.

Or for people in rural areas? Its 10 miles to the grocery store for me, if there was a bike lane or something I’d love to ride an ebike when I have the time and in the summer. But certainly not in the winter, or when I’m short on time and don’t have 1+ hours to bike there.

Weight affects basically everything. Less weight means less cost to buy, better range, better handling, less cost of maintenance (brakes, tires, etc), better safety, less getting stuck off-road, and so on…

Chrome doesn’t really collect much data directly. It just has no protection against all the trackers on nearly every website that do.

Well more that when it does work you don’t know for sure which apps are fully backed up.

No because Twitter is a walled ecosystem, you can’t move to Bluesky and interact with people on twitter for example.

With federated stuff you can move and still interact with people on other instances.

old.reddit.com is still the best client.

Go through each app and export its data, then transfer those files off the phone.

Testing if it works is a bit of a pain though, because you need to have a wiped phone to restore the backup on to make sure each app restores properly.

Take backups.

1 or 2 copies of something is not a backup, 3+ is a backup. And test them too, make sure they work.

Yes, set the external library bind mount in the docker compose project to :ro (read only).

Different markets, with some overlap.

The Switch is liked by people who just want to play games with minimal fuss.

I’d say go Debian and Docker, proxmox is nice if you’re running a lot of VMs or want HA and clustering but otherwise you don’t really need it.

If you want a GUI for docker containers there are several, Komodo or Portainer are good options.

US Mobile is a good option too, even cheaper than Mint IIRC and you can switch yourself between Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile networks.

Assuming they correctly know who is responsible.

The other issue is if you’re offline with no internet service and you come back online, you may not ever see any messages sent during that time.

People like my parents. I feel like I’m explaining in circles here lol.

OMV is not easy for the average person, you have to know how to boot and install an OS, how to access something on your network via IP, how to assign a static IP, what raid type to use (or not use), how to install and configure something like Nextcloud to access and sync files, where to store files on the filesystem, how to install and configure backups to remote storage… I could go on.

Something as common as having a Google drive type interface on a NAS is very complex with OMV and other open source options.

Photoshop I can mostly replace with Photopea and Penpot, but Lightroom alternatives are not easy to use (or are RAW editors only and don’t do photo management) and I haven’t figure out what to do there yet.

Fusion 360 is the real sticking point, there’s no replacement for that or anything that even comes close.

The biggest downside with P2P on a mobile device is it needs to run in the background all the time, and constantly uses small amounts of data making connections.
