@zackwhittaker My recommendation is @nextcloud because it's open, rock sold - never let me down in ~10y of usage - and it's backed by a sustainable business model.
#yunohost , an easy to maintain platform for selhosting (at home) stuff like #nextcloud , mails, #matrix , #vaultwarden for family and friends (creation of users is easy)
Easy to install, and easy to maintain, thank you all @yunohost
@zackwhittaker Mailbox from germany, because They use Green Energy and value data Protection
@zackwhittaker n8n for Workflow Automation. Great software from Berlin.
@zackwhittaker Google Workspace and M365 -> Nextcloud
@zackwhittaker immich instead of all the cloud image services.
@zackwhittaker there are some great alternatives here: https://european-alternatives.eu/ and here: https://euro-stack.com/
@zackwhittaker Qobuz instead of Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal etc.
@zackwhittaker
even i think one is too few.
i think replacing googled android or iphone with un-googled android or operating system goes as one. there are non-u.s. manufacturers and android variants.
normie smartphones are privacy nightmares.
serious contender is linux distribution. replace windows machine with linux.
@zackwhittaker I’m happy with the service I get from Fastmail. However they’re Australian and email privacy laws there are … so-so.
@zackwhittaker I use Delta Chat for keeping in touch with my contacts. Simple, effective and European.
@zackwhittaker shout out to @doncow for the all-in-one containerized mail server suite
@zackwhittaker I’ve been collecting Canadian alternatives to US tech: https://worktree.ca/taffer/canadian-alternatives
