20+ years of self-hosted email. Windows-free since 2007 and only using Linux and BSD based computers.

Here's my big tech exit so far:

X -> Mastodon
Reddit -> Lemmy
WhatsApp/iMessage -> Matrix & Threema
Google Drive -> Nextcloud
iCloud Photos -> Immich
Netflix -> Jellyfin & optical media
Audible -> Audiobookshelf
Ubiquiti -> FreeBSD router
HomePod -> Home Assistant
GitHub -> Codeberg/Forgejo
Cloud-Computing -> Netcup from Germany
Online News outlets -> TinyRSS

Still trapped: iPhone (ecosystem lock-in is real)

This morning, this is extremely appropriate (even if I yell at cloud when it's working, too)

The meme "old man yells at cloud" but instead of Abe, it's me

#MatrixDown: So, is the main issue of #Matrix too many users using the main instance, a condition actively pushed by #Vector, creating half-centralized ecosystem?

Or is it a combination of these problems? Hmmm. 👀

Capitalism is a hostage situation -Not an economy

Our current #mainstreaming path of paywalls stacked on paywalls isn’t life, it’s a trap, we need a way out. In our everyday lives, we’ve come to accept the absurd:

Pay to sleep under a roof that someone profits from,

Pay to drink water privatized by corporations,

And if you miss a payment? Game over. That’s not a […]
