Question, how would you build the ultimate "I don't want to be dependent on Google or Facebooks services" setup?
IE, not using Gmail for e-mail, not using Google maps for, well, maps. Etc.
Im realy curious to see how the ultimate open source/not dependent on any big corporation harvesting userdata, ecosystem would look like. :)

    I started relying on @Linux instead. That way, if it were to stop working, I could just go find him and may him a beer.

    @RantSomeWhere awesome setup, I've started using proton, duck duck go and signal. And as for the rest, I have to check em out :)

    @RantSomeWhere I don't use gitlab hosted by gitlab anymore because they moved to google cloud.

    Except for that, I block out entire ip ranges of a few big companies as well but other than that, that list applies to me as well 😊

    Thanks for mentioning me and thanks for your kind words 😊

    As for me:

    - Pihole

    - Linux (Trisquel)

    - Searx (https://searx.linux.pizza)

    - OpenStreetMaps

    - Youtube in some cases, but more and more Peertube

    - Email is selfhosted since 2014

    - Calendar - selfhosted

    - Contact - selfhosted

    - ABrowser

    - Matrix - keybase and signal is not an alternative because they are closed on the serverside.

    @Linux Nice, selfhosting is a good option, though it can get complicated realy fast. But a valid option.

    @Linux It wasn't solely about self hosted ones :)

    I do agree that the backend being closed isn't a good thing but seeing the trouble I've had with the matrix app + encryption, I don't think many people I know would be remotely willing to switch.
