Fedora is a good choice for this use case and I would recommend it for the use case of the Linux ecosystem.

Background in biology and insurance - major career transition but yes, I love self-hosting! Have about 37 services running!

They’ve redefined privacy to be privacy from everyone except themselves, and then indoctrinated people that they are the most privacy conscious company.

I’m in the UK - pretty good. Haven’t had any major issues, using Lebara and EE

Yeah, I did consider it - you can see the last point in the original post - basically I feel these are extremely underpowered and I’m not sure about Linux’s support for hardware and whether its truly tablet ready. I’d love to hear any opinions on the contrary if you’ve used these devices though

I’m pretty happy with my Pixel 6 for now, and carrying around that bulky phone doesn’t make sense for me personally.

Cool. I guess I’ll have to reconsider the current Pixel tablet again then - without the dock though, don’t think that’s worth it. Thanks!

Do you have the dock too? Is that at all helpful?

For software I’d recommend using Frigate for ally the processing and then integrating it with Home Assistant.

You can deploy the Joplin sync server using docker on a VPS or any other computer always on. I’ve been using it for about a year now, without issues, though I’m now transitioning to Notesnook now.

They open source all of their clients (when not in beta). They maintain multiple open source cryptographic libraries, in multiple languages, which a lot of developers and companies go on to use. They have a yearly fundraiser for open source and digital rights groups, which they contribute a $100,000 to each year.

Just because their server code is not open source, doesn’t mean they don’t support open source. It’s not an all or nothing situation. Binary thinking and classification is a very dangerous and naïve way to look at things.

It might be a good idea to do the exact opposite I.e. make a OSS whitelist. It will be much easier to maintain given the scale of applications/services/products.

Proton’s server code is not Open Source because it contains filter and anti spam detection which if released, would severely hamper their ability to detect spam and keep their users safe + detect abuse for their service.

Proton has had extensive security audits done and their claims have been backed up by independent third parties.

The definition should be further modified to include legitimate reasons for not open sourcing some code + having audits to back up claims.

If you’re referring to page 5, that compares 2021 to 2022. A huge proportion of the world still had travel restrictions due to covid in 2021, whereas in 2022, almost none did.

You can use the battery stats, but for longer time storage I would recommend UsageDirect

The only thing this project needs is good self-hosting support. It’s currently an absolute nightmare. Have tried it 2-3 times with absolutely no luck.

Issues for this have been open for over 3 years and there’s been absolutely no progress.

Tried this out. Was disappointed with the fact that it uses browser cache to store data, which becomes near impossible when you have a large library. A solution with a db stored on disk would greatly be appreciated.

Also, software becoming distributable in a uniform way. Though here, I strongly would advocate for flatpak.
