I shower twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.

A growing minority wants to avoid investing in US big corp, or in anything US related in general given the current political situation.

I’m definitely one of those people but there just aren’t that many alternatives. Like I said, I did consider Fairphone, but there were so many cons to their devices that it’s just not a reasonable choice for me personally. Which is unfortunate.

Thanks.

Thank you!

I wouldn’t trust any device made by them, regardless of the OS.

What device would you trust?

Edit to say you are basically just rewarding their behaviour.

That’s a good point and it’s one I’ve been considering. I would’ve bought a second-hand phone if it weren’t for the fact that the second-hand market in my country is so bad to the point it’s not even worth considering.

Thanks for the response!

Currently, the Pixel 10 goes for 600€ including taxes, while the Pixel 9a goes for 370€. Both are on sale right now. The iPhone 17 and the Samsung S26 meanwhile both go for 1015€ and 1106€, respectively, just for price comparison. Would you still go with the 9a over the 10 in this case?

I’m gonna have to replace my phone soon since it doesn’t receive security updates any more and I was thinking of going for GrapheneOS. What do you guys think about getting a Pixel 10 for that purpose? My second choice would be an iPhone but it’s both a lot more expensive and also less privacy respecting.

I was also considering a Fairphone but despite rating the repariability highly, there were too many other cons to the device.

Huh? Why?

as far as I know, there is no way to put a valid certificate like let’s encrypt for a service that is not accessible from the net

There definitely is. All of my local services run on a wildcard cert that I got from a DNS challenge with Let’s Encrypt. As long as the reverse proxy can access whatever source is issuing the certificate, and as long as the client browser can access public certificate ledgers and has DNS info about your services, things will work just fine locally.

I recommend Netbird to give access to services to your family members, for access control and for the DNS server it provides. It also gives you the bonus of accessing your services remotely.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Good riddance.

Has anyone used Komga as an alternative? It’s primarily for manga and comics but it seems to support books too (epub and PDF). It also seems to be able to sync books with Kobo devices.

Yeah, pass has been discussed a bit in the thread already, but there are a few security issues that keep me from using it. Speaking of security, I had no idea the Android app was archived in 2024. That’s quite a long time without updates. Are you using a fork?

Thank you for sharing your workflow either way! Using a git based solution would be amazing.

I like the idea of using git, and there are people using it with their KeePass database (here’s an example), but I don’t think it’s optimal. If you want to use git, pass is probably the better option, but that brings in a whole lot of other problems.

I’ve started using Nextcloud to sync my database and it’s worked out fine so far. Though it would be nice to use something like git that I use all the time regardless, right now the whole bloated Nextcloud stack I have hosted only syncs my small password database haha.

I would get a router that supports an open source firmware or operating system like OpenWRT. Which one depends entirely on your use case. Getting a router from your ISP is fine if you’re allowed to and capable of flashing it, and if you trust them (I’m lucky that I have an ISP with a track record of fighting for their users’ privacy and integrity).

Yeah, that’s a good point. There are still a few cons though:

1. If the server goes down (or your internet connection goes down), you can’t add entries to your database. Local changes aren’t allowed.
2. Bitwarden doesn’t support supplementing your passphrase with a key file.
3. The Bitwarden clients aren’t enitrely FOSS as far as I understand, the SDK used has a non-free license.

There are pros and cons in both alternatives, and there is unfortunately not a perfect solution. I like the idea and philosophy behind the KeePass format, so the increase in syncing complexity is worth it (for now at least).

I managed to get it up and running now, thank you! It wasn’t intuitive at all, compared to using nextcloud-client on the desktop. I’ll try this for a while and see if it works for me.

I’m currently using KeePassDX and I’ve set up the Nextcloud server and downloaded the Android app. I’ll give it another shot. Can you explain more how you’ve set this up for yourself? What does CF mean, and what file manager do you recommend?

Thanks!

I’m looking for a selfhosted alternative, I’m not really to keen to place all of my password eggs into one company basket so to speak. But yes, other than that, Proton is a good choice (but I’d probably go with Bitwarden personally). Thank you.
