My complete setup is currently as follows:

Linux Mint and FreeBSD on all my computers and notebooks
Pixel 9 with Graphene OS (but will be replaced by a new Fairphone 6 with /e/OS from Murena in the future)
Connected via KDE Connect
Office with LibreOffice
My own Nextcloud for files, photos, calendar and contacts
Hardened Firefox with uBlock Origin
Freetube and Newpipe instead of YouTube
Ecosia search instead of Google
Proton Mail and Tutanota Mail
Simple fitness tracker with watch, Pedometer, sleep tracker and calorie counter without Bluetooth and app connection instead of spying smartwatch and "health apps" such as Fitbit, Apple or Samsung Health
Manual recording of my health data such as blood pressure, blood sugar, sleep, steps and more in a LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet, can be easily converted into a PDF for my doctors to evaluate

Am I missing anything? Absolutely not! This setup works just as smoothly and conveniently as previous ecosystem solutions from Apple, Google or Samsung. Only with significantly more privacy, without tracking and surveillance by US Big Tech

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 188 (REAL self-hosting edition) 👻​

Hello Fedi friends,

I hope you had a nice weekend.

I spent the vast majority of the past two months in full time filmmaking mode, for my Fedi promo video.

Now that the French (https://news.elenarossini.com/fedivers-video/) and the Italian (https://news.elenarossini.com/fediverso-video/) voice-over narrations are complete, I can finally resume my self-hosting adventures.

On the agenda for later this week: updating the version of my Ghost installation, which is something I am genuinely self-hosting, without the help of YunoHost...

I already did it once a couple of months ago, but now the stakes are higher because I'm getting hundreds of visits every day (since publishing the Fedi promo video).

Second item on my to do list: figuring out how to log onto #NextCloud from my mobile phone (the iOS app keeps spinning when I enter my server name).

I'm just really grateful to be able to do all this... A mere 6 months ago it would have seemed impossible.

Wishing everyone a great day! 🌞​

#MySoCalledSudoLife

but thanks to YunoHost I am now self-hosting #GoToSocial, #Friendica, #Pixelfed, #PeerTube, #NextCloud and #LinkStack ❤️
