    • I switched from Google Photos to Filen. I'll only be uploading new photos to Filen, since I have about 30GB of stuff on GPhotos, and I'm on the free tier of Filen, but it's doing the trick!
    • I also switched from Joplin to Cryptee, since it seems more stable and it means I don't need to risk my (admittedly encrypted) notes being mishandled by Microsoft or Dropbox.
    • I upgraded my BitWarden encryption settings and changed the account's email address from Gmail to Tutanota.
    • I switched from Element to FluffyChat, as the Apple's "App Tracking Transparency" box appeared to list a few too many options under "Data Linked to You".
    • I have followed PrivacyGuides' recommendations for Linux distros, and I am now running the following on my laptops with full disk encryption:
      • openSUSE Tumbleweed + KDE Plasma (Wayland)
      • Arch Linux with linux-zen + SwayWM
      • Fedora 38 with SELinux + MATE (X11; Wayland support is being worked on)
      • antiX + Awesome (X11)
  • Now THIS is epic!

    • It's fast
    • It's FOSS
    • It's private
    • It supports accounts
    • It has an app
    • It can play YouTube Music tracks
    • The UI is pretty nice

    Very well done, everyone! Please accept a star on GitHub.

  • I think it was this one, but I just went onto SearXNG and searched for "vaporwave wallpaper".

  • Wait until you hear about Lemmygrad.

  • Awesome! How does it compare to BitWarden?

  • Sakura

  • Please tell me every detail of your AwesomeWM config. That looks insanely good!

  • huh?

  • Wait, what happened to Tumblr?

  • My last experience with Win10 vs now:

    (FOSS in bold)

    • Edge -> LibreWolf, Brave
    • Windows Mail & Calendar -> Thunderbird, Tutanota
    • Windows Explorer -> Thunar, PCManFM
    • Todoist/iCal -> fruux + Thunderbird
    • NCH VideoPad -> Kdenlive
    • iTunes, Spotify -> CDs, Audacious, DeaDBeeF, Bandcamp
    • VLC -> mpv, Parole
    • OneNote -> Obsidian Joplin + Backblaze B2
    • Firefox Lockwise -> Bitwarden
    • WPS Office -> LibreOffice, ONLYOFFICE
    • VSCode -> Micro
    • Visual Studio -> Micro + GCC + Glade
    • Finale -> MuseScore
    • NT -> Linux (obviously)
    • Windows 10 -> Debian, Arch Linux

    And now, the online services:

    • Ecosia -> LibreX
    • YouTube -> CloudTube
    • Twitter -> Mastodon
    • Reddit -> Libreddit, Lemmy
    • Dropbox, Google Drive -> MEGA, Filen, USB sticks
    • Blogger -> Neocities, Flounder (gemini protocol)

    Sorry for the long post. Here are some potatoes:

  • I have three:

    • They don't make things like they used to
    • We don't need all these damned computers in everything
    • Modern music sounds like crap

    I'm 17.

  • Have a look at Neocities (a successor to Geocities). My website is here.

    You can also have a look at the rest of the Fediverse. There are some cool accounts on Mastodon and PeerTube.

    For that true "old web" thing, have you ever heard of gemini? Take a look. My capsule on gemini is here, but you will need a gemini browser in order to see it.

    Hope this helps!
