Great list - picked up a couple new ones for myself. Thanks.

Adding to your list:

• Paperless Mobile An almost fully-fledged mobile app for my Paperless-ngx server
• Syncthing Helped me (with Photoprism) replace Google Photos, but also syncs backup files made by other apps (Tasker, Signal, calls & texts, etc) from my phone to my computer overnight
• Simple Search Completely configurable search widget, lets me search with my private Whoogle servers from my phone’s home screen
• Shelter A lot like Insular, lets you utilise work profile for your own needs - apps, files, etc.
• Droid-ify Another F-droid alternative

That’s not a bad idea. At the very least, let’s take it back out of the hands of big tech. They can’t be trusted.

I hate where this is going, but accept that it is inevitable. As much as I value my privacy, I’ve well and truly fallen into the trap of using tap and pay with my phone. I don’t think I’ve carried cash in any meaningful quantity for years now.

Social media truly is a cancer

Interesting - I wonder if this “hack” (side note: article’s author needs a slap in the face with a fucking chair) still would’ve happened had they not moved the Office CDN from Akamai to their own Azure CDN…?
