For links, I use Pocket (you can use Wallabag, but I find the interface not efficient at all). For files, you can sync a folder with syncthing (but you only switch it on when you want a quick sync, otherwise keep it off for battery). If you just want to put some file on your phone, install FTP server (free) from F-droid and switch it on when you need it (there’s even an optional switch on quick actions). Use Filezilla or any file browser (if on Linux) to exchange your files. Remember to switch the server off once finished, because FTP is not a secure protocol.

Install LineageOS or e/os/ on your phone and bye bye Gemini 🙂

Nextcloud was too slow and bloated for me. I used Seafile for years and it was fine, but at some point I went to some more simple setup : sftpgo to share folders (sftp, dav) and syncthing for the folders I want to sync between devices. You can also set ignore lists in syncthing to ignore large dirs. Keep it simple stupid 😅

Unfortunately, far-right is invading most countries… There are just more discrete for now, but less and less.

Ahem. That’s happening over here as well, but fortunately, not on the same scale (for now).

Excellent article. Thank you!

I have no idea, but I’m also interested. Thus said, remember that’s only inside EU. I remember that Meta said they won’t apply this outside EU.

That’s sad :/

Why don’t Americans put pressure on legislation like Europeans did with the GDPR?
