  • Oh no, I am sorry i should have been more specific. Homelab = Selfhosting. Those 2 terms get thrown around interchangeably? i think the word is.

    Basically my homelab/Selfhost projects consist of things i can selfhost easily. Calendar, contacts/address book, my own “cloud” server, etc etc. Why do i need to let google know my calendar, or contacts, or my files. same goes for browser history/bookmarks etc. i use firefox so i run my own firefox sync server.

    other things are “luxery”. like music collection, and what have you.

    All in all, if i can keep my data 100% inside my house/server, then i am happy.



  • I am also one to fixate from time to time on a game or a show. However right now i am fixated on my homelab. trying to make the best out of it, but also my linux distro (i reinstalled just few days ago, and probably will reinstall it again).

    What i want from my linux distro (which i already have half done) is to be able to reinstall it, copy/paste command from my git repo and i am done. for software and fonts this is already the case, but i want to do more. like my theme on KDE, how i setup the taskbar, my dolphin layout, etc etc. so in future it can be copy/paste command + copy/paste .dot config files.





  • What are you on about? Discord is the best chatting platform there is. Nothing really comes close to it or defeats it. You get features like:

    • paying monthly for simple features that enhance chatting experiance
    • lots of bots that do all kinds of things
    • 100% complies with privacy and security
    • does not track what you are doing, keep chat logs indefinitely and above all they are all for privacy.

    All in all, i recommend discord for all your needs. Be it studying group, work related, or even private messaging with end-to-end encryption because clearly discord can’t read your chat logs (remember, privacy…)


  • ProtonVPN user here for a very long time.

    • No log policy
    • known for privacy
    • based in switzerland

    and my favorite of them all, has great core servers, secure servers (tor relayed etc), and my favorite is torrenting/p2p servers. I also use their mail server. The only thing i don’t use is their cloud drive and calendar (as i host my own).

    When it comes to just any VPN, i also host my own so i can access my stuff from outside.

    heard PIA is also good, mullvad would be my second choice if i wasn’t on protonvpn.
