The last stage of my long n winding degoogle is nigh. I have a lot of older and semi permanent accounts where I used my gmail address as login/username. It's a laborious process getting those changed, for perfectly understandable security reasons.
I run my own email server and it's very solid; good backup strategy etc, but... for the 'bleedin important' accounts (bank, tax etc) I will still stick to a 3rd party cloud email provider. So I have gone for disroot.org
Thoughts?
New blog post!
In which I talk in detail how I deployed Nextcloud locally in my homelab using LXD and NextcloudPi.
I go through the whole process of setting up LXD, importing the NCP image, installing, configuring, and scheduling backups for my own personal cloud.

Zudem versuche ich möglichst PayPal zu vermeiden und nutze stattdessen Klarna, sofern es angeboten wird als Zahlungsmittel.
An Social Media muss ich noch arbeiten. Hier fehlen mir leider zu viele Leute.
As promised, we compiled a list of some European tech companies to meet your privacy needs
https://blog.internxt.com/european-tech-companies/
There’s something for everyone: chat assistants, project management tools, operating systems... you get the idea.
We’d love to hear more suggestions, anything we missed (thanks for the suggestions already), and any tools you use and would recommend (Chat GPT alternatives?)
Relearning IMAP conventions and unlearning Gmail, things I really would like to keep:
- multiple From identities with their own outgoing servers in one inbox
- labels instead of folders (because that allows categorizing same email many times)
Haven't yet found a service which does either.

#degoogle continues ....
If you're looking for a great alternative to Google Translate, DeepL is a top pick.
I've been using it for a while now, and it's impressively accurate.
Is there any better feeling?

Prøver meg på en liten #introduksjon
Jeg er da Nadja, 32 år, gift, to barn og bor i ei lita bygd på innlandet.
Studerer landbruk, drømmer om småbruk. Jeg er en kreativ sjel som brer meg ut innenfor det visuelle, tekstiler og sang. Har også et langdratt bokprosjekt på gang.
Jeg ønsker å leve et liv med fokus på refleksjon, tilstedeværelse, godhet, rettferdighet og kjærlighet. Både som et individ men også for samfunnet.

Vandaag weer een Google Android telefoon (Fairphone 5) omgezet naar een https://e.foundation Android versie. De ontgoogelde familie breidt zich weer verder uit.
Mocht je het zelf niet aandurven, je kunt 'm ook voorgeïnstalleerd bij Fairphone aanschaffen!
