I’m aware :) really, anyone that backs up anything at all shouldn’t be using ONE THING for backups.

Personally, I use it to “sync” photos from my phone to my computer. I run nightly backups via a cron script.

Still, can’t say I’ve had any issues so far

I’ll have to check it out! Same here, mostly services on my end - but I’ve accumulated enough of them to make it tiresome. Still, I’ll have to do it at some point

I DO have an ad blocker. I still ended up seeing an ad, that one time. It might’ve been on mobile. Or I might have had my ad block turned off. Either way, I’ve gone out of my way to make sure I never see an ad in my email again. Used mobile devtools to uninstall the Gmail client, Firefox with uBlock add-on, etc…

Yes… They don’t seem to show up in the primary tab, but they’re there nonetheless. Nowhere is safe, and nothing is sacred.

I got pissed off at Google Photos, which led me down a self-hosting rabbit hole. Ended up installing Linux everywhere, even my “gaming” one eventually (I do development, and WSL was a resource hog).

The hardest thing to degoogle has been email - I’ve used the same address for years. But I use Thunderbird so at least I don’t have to see ads in my fucking inbox

Same here! I was worried I wouldn’t use it (I haven’t been gaming on PC much) but I actually game on it much more than on PC

If we need to start supporting diagonals, I’m quitting webdev for good

Feels like maybe you’re not the target audience for this article

I use FreeTube but hadn’t heard of Newpipe before. Thanks for the recommendation!

I hardly ever see people talking about Pocketbase in threads like these, but as a dev I love it

Or should, for that matter

I use Obsidian for notes too. Recently, I’ve been playing with Starlight (based on Astro) for notes that I want to put on the web. It supports .md & .mdx files so creating a page is pretty much just copy + paste. Haven’t gotten around to self-hosting it yet though
