Duplicati runs om Windows AFAIK.

Nice try, Microsoft

Firefox and VLC on Windows for years, which just worked. Later XBMC/Kodi and fileserver which where s… on windows but, again, just worked on Linux. When Windows later on kept nagging for something I migrated to 100% Open Source and have been a happy camper ever since!

Rings a bell. Will check it out. Looks good at first glance.

One more: Network shares vs. clowd storage fx M365 and Google drive. Often the ekstra functionality isn’t needed and just adds complexity. Plus the bandwidth is rarely the same. But It IS wHAt EvERyOne IS dOIng

Yeah, they could have taken the high road compared to Google and Amazon, but instead were like: Hold my beer. And don’t get me started on smartphones, “smart” TV’s and cars… Wonderful times we’re living in!

Agree

Agree on both points

Used it and it was good, as I remember. Later switched to uBlock Origin because it presumably uses less resources and does the job.

Yes, often overlooked. And, I hear, almost impossible to selfhost these days without a degree in CS, because “we block all non big tech e-mail providers”.

IS still absolutely the shit 🙂

The no algorithm parti is pretty neat. Don’t know if you are referring to the Nextcloud News app. If that’s the case, it’s free on the f-droid app store.

Markor on Android, nvim on Linux and sync with syncthing. Using markdown.

Also big fan of IRC. It has some of the same advantages as XMPP, and then some for group chat.

Agree it’s easier to get techies on board. With normal people it is kind of a struggle competing and argumenting against the likes of WhatsApp, FB messenger and such. But I totally think it’s worth it because privacy.

We use Teams and friends at work, so I know the struggle.

+1 for Newsboat on Linux

I used Read You from f-droid app-store and was happy with it. No commercials and FOSS. Switched to Nextxloud News for centralized RSS feeds from my Nextcloud.

Newsboat

Instead of going to blogs, YouTube, podcast etc. you subscribe to them and feetch news from via RSS in a web or local client. IMHO the way things should work 🙂
