#Introduction - A new home for longer mountain ramblings & tech dabbling!

After years on a managed Mastodon instance, I've finally jumped into the #selfhosted world! Say hello to my new personal #ActivityPub instance, powered by #GoToSocial from home.

While I test the waters here (and learn all the complexities of managing self-hosting!), this space will be for the longer-form, deeper-dive content:

1. Extended mountain trip reports with more photos.

2. Ramblings on my rather amateur adventures in #technology, #landscapephotography, #lora mesh networks, #degoogling efforts, and #linuxphone solutions.

Think of it as my digital base camp. If you're a mountain person who loves tech (or a tech person who loves mountains), we probably have things in common. Boosts and introductions are welcome!

I've just caved and set up Google calendar and contacts access BUT I've done it through #davx5 and am using the default calendar and contacts apps which came with #lineage.

Long-term I think it would be fun to move away from having #Google manage that data for me (maybe using #radicale and #syncthing? https://forum.syncthing.net/t/how-to-sync-contacts-and-calendars-between-desktop-and-android-without-root/21326) but that can be an adventure for another day.

Ho eliminato Google Contacts dal mio smartphone! Quanto sono felice! Ho tardato tanto perchè pensavo fosse più complesso!

La mia soluzione:
Nexcloud + DAVx⁵ + Fossify Contacts

--- ENG
Just deleted Google Contacts for Nexcloud + DAVx⁵ + Fossify Contacts

Grazie a @dado, a sua volta conosciuto grazie a @filippodb, sono ufficimente Microsoft-free.

Almeno personalmente (a lavoro purtroppo no... ancora): ho detto addio a Windows come sistema operativo e sono passato Zorin, una delle innumerevoli incarnazioni di Linux.

Questo il primo passo.

Ora, pian piano, vediamo di fare il #degoogling del telefono...

Finally solved the #Degoogling debate. Anyone who finds fault with this list = Skill issue.

I'm looking at de-Googling my phone experience, and am considering buying a decent point-and-shoot camera to cover that aspect of smartphone ownership.

Anyone here into photography and can recommend a decent model, especially one that can handle low-light and motion somewhat gracefully?

Last time I tried this I used a Canon SX610HS, and it was pretty woeful.

I don't need 2025-flagship-smartphone levels of camera, just something I can use to ensure I have photos and videos of the family to look back on, when I'm in my dotage 🧓
