For example, I 3d printed a box over my outlet to protect my cables from my bed pushing against it. In addition, my cables never fall to the floor so they’re much easier to grab.

    Eliminated Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and all of the affiliate companies and services for the mentioned ones, from my life. Now all I have is Linux based and self-hosted. My life’s toxicity levels dropped to pretty much nothing since then.

      Woah woah woah, the post said one small thing. This would be a monster task for me as my whole life lives in Google drive.

            I have is as a docker in my UnRaid server. However, from what I’ve heard, the easiest way to get NC up and running real fast is in a Ubuntu server and installing Nextcloud from Ubuntu’s snap store. I can’t confirm that, but it seems legit, since it came from a DistroTube video in YouTube.

          Yes, but actually no, if you want to access it remotely. DONT OPEN THE WEB PORTS TO THE INTERNET, rather use a vpn like wireguard to connect in to the home network.

          Also, backups.

        Not OC, but I’m using Kagi and super happy. Before I use Kagi, I didn’t realise how bad Google result is. Its results are poisoned by ads and SEO nowadays.

          I still am using Google and I hate how useless it has become since SEO started to become a thing in the last 5 or 10 years. Maybe I should try Kagi. Does it have location specific search results

      I just finished doing this too. It’s so freeing not being tied to mega corporations anymore.
