That’s a nice tip, have to try that out. Thanks!

Vinegar based cleaner for everything and you are good. Recommend a separate, dedicated mirror cleaner for mirrors though. Clean weekly to reduce the need to scrub with more powerful stuff.

!boomermemes@sopuli.xyz got you covered.

Winpunch already listed some, but my favourites are at Karlsplatz and Altes AKH inner yard and highly recommend those. There are quite a lot of christmas markets and I don’t know all of them.

A tip: bring cash and go during the day. The markets get quite packed in the evening.

Oh yeah I 100% agree with that.

There’s quite a few inside Vienna, most of them really nice and pretty.

I admit that I once bought a book that I then donated shortly after because it was released with a cooler cover.

Then they did it again and were it not for my sad wallet I would have done it again.

For sure it took more back then, however looking at people using their phones/tablets for everything I think you can still learn a lot by simply trying out and using a computer to do similar tasks you would do on a phone too.

The screenshot might have been a bad analogy since e.g. steam actually lets you access your screenshots directly in the application, but if you want to set it as your background image you still have to access the file itself.

Thanks! This was actually a great question too, because I hadn’t really thought about how I gradually learned to use a computer.

For me it was games on a computer. Learned how to use the keyboard, mouse, and later troubleshoot shit that was not working because I really wanted to play a game.

It’s small things like “oh I can take a screenshot, hmm where does the screenshot go?” and that’s how you learn to navigate files and folders etc.

Since this piece of misinformation about the monkeys has already caused damage: the monkeys are/were not infected. The truck driver told the authorities this info (which was false)

Ah… But there is another. The all mighty creator (app developer of voyager) whose name is in purple!

I’m guessing you are using Voyager app. It’s because I’m your instance (sopuli) admin :)

I’m not going to push anyone who uses a secure decentralized FOSS chat already to signal, but someone who uses telegram/viber/whatsapp is easier to get gradually on signal, which is super low effort compared to the ones you mentioned.

I’ve tried. I’m happy that I got friends and family to move from SMS and WhatsApp to Signal. Some I got to move to e.g. matrix but that’s only a few.

Just my two cents since you asked. I agree with you but I don’t want perfect to be the enemy of good.

Subscription based service, huge yearly “inflation adjustments” (chase of record profits), include ads, track the person via sensors to sell the data, offer luxury packs (just enjoyment without ads, but tracking still included, just more subtle), market it and pay influencers to spread the word and document the “enjoyment” experience, lobby for government aided yearly enjoyment experiences for plebs so they don’t revolt, go public… Stonks and not an ounce of humanity left

YUP I gave up quickly! it’s truly a CSSHell lol.

My body is ready

That sounds like a nice stack! And true, self hosting is really nice. Just wanted to give options if you don’t feel like getting into self hosting.

Nevertheless, good luck on your privacy journey! I’m working on it too!

I had not heard of ubicloud, that’s pretty cool! Thanks for the tip!

And sure:

I don’t self host it, I got managed owncloud space from a domain and web host provider.

I manage my own VPS that I got from them but the cloudspace came extra with buying the domain + email services (I’ve managed email server at my job and no way in hell will I do that for myself, too much headache).

So basically, in short, I have a managed email + owncloud space (just 5gb, don’t honestly need more) from a commercial provider and just use owncloud app on my phone and PC to sync folders on both. I keep my encrypted joplin notes and (encrypted by default) keepass database on this cloud. Owncloud takes care of syncing and I just use Joplin and KeePass on both devices and set them to use the files in owncloud folder. Never had an issue in 2 years with anything.

Technically my provider could scan my stuff, but they won’t get anything out of joplin notes or keepass.

Your idea for a setup sounds way more private, but i think for my usecase I’ve been happy since it’s so low effort and still does what I want it to do.

I have seen on lemmy people recommend syncthing (https://syncthing.net/) for keepass, which directly synchronizes a folder between devices without a middleman if you wanr. But everytime you want to sync you need to have both devices on for that as there is no automatic middleman that is always available. Maybe that could be done with a raspberry pi?

Anyway: you can easily set this up with proton if you already have proton cloud no?

Didn’t see this comment but: I trust enough my cloud provider + the database file is encrypted with the masterpassword you set for your keepass.

I also use this cloud to host my Joplin notes, which are also E2EE (joplin supports it) so even if my cloud provider would take a peek it’s all encrypted.
