Hey fedi, I want to move off Google services for email at some point soon but with Proton Mail and/or their CEO’s statement earlier this year I’m skeptical about using their platform.
What are the best competitors atm? And what are their advantages and disadvantages?

Did any of us manage to replace the Google authenticator app? Finding an alternative is less of an issue, but how can current codes be migrated over to the new app? #degoogle #degoogleyourlife #buyeuropean

New blog post!
In which I talk in detail how I deployed Nextcloud locally in my homelab using LXD and NextcloudPi.
I go through the whole process of setting up LXD, importing the NCP image, installing, configuring, and scheduling backups for my own personal cloud.

Mein bisheriger Beitrag zur #BuyFromEU -Bewegung:
• Browser: Vivaldi

Zudem versuche ich möglichst PayPal zu vermeiden und nutze stattdessen Klarna, sofern es angeboten wird als Zahlungsmittel.
An Social Media muss ich noch arbeiten. Hier fehlen mir leider zu viele Leute.
As promised, we compiled a list of some European tech companies to meet your privacy needs 
https://blog.internxt.com/european-tech-companies/
There’s something for everyone: chat assistants, project management tools, operating systems... you get the idea.
We’d love to hear more suggestions, anything we missed (thanks for the suggestions already), and any tools you use and would recommend (Chat GPT alternatives?)

Relearning IMAP conventions and unlearning Gmail, things I really would like to keep:
- multiple From identities with their own outgoing servers in one inbox
- labels instead of folders (because that allows categorizing same email many times)
Haven't yet found a service which does either.

Vandaag weer een Google Android telefoon (Fairphone 5) omgezet naar een https://e.foundation Android versie.
De ontgoogelde familie breidt zich weer verder uit.
Mocht je het zelf niet aandurven, je kunt 'm ook voorgeïnstalleerd bij Fairphone aanschaffen!

Another interesting thing is about the push notifications.
Threema Push is a new feature that allows users to use Threema for Android without relying on Google's proprietary push service. This is particularly beneficial for users of de-googled Android variants, such as /e/OS, who want to maintain their online privacy.
One of the weaknesses of many privacy-friendly services is the need to use Google's push service. Good job, Threema!

Maurits Martijn heeft mijn reactie op dit stuk uitgelicht. Helaas alleen door leden te lezen, dus bij deze voor iedereen:
Lol I got a cheap Android to house the apps that my employer forces me to use (I'm not putting them on my real phone, obviously), and after powering on the device for the first time and spending like an hour stripping all the permissions, Google won't let me turn it off without signing into a Google account. The power button just brings up a sign-in screen - you can back out of it, but there's no way to turn the phone off.
Interacting with Google makes me feel the same way interacting with abusive family members and partners has. What fucking creepy, coercively controlling stalkers Googlers are.
I love GrapheneOS so much 
Just use OpenStreetMap instead of google they said. 
In my attempt to #degoogle, I've gotten a #protrondrive account. But I've hit a bit of a feature snag. I need to be able to open and edit spreadsheet and text documents from this online storage on my #android device. First attempt was with #onlyoffice but quickly found it doesn't have a way to access proton drive. I see people online asking for this... But no go atm. Anyone else suggest work arounds or #foss alternatives? Been eyeing #cryptpad as well.
