I’m using Netguard. You can block specific apps without requiring root access.

Sticking with Nova with network access denied for the time being. Also turned off updates in the Play Store. I’m still open to new ones, but apparently I’m very picky when it comes to launchers.

It needs to be!

Father_Redbeard, to foss in what's your current linux distro?
@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m running Pop!_OS. I tried Mint and EndeavorOS. I found that I don’t like vanilla gnome, and while I appreciate KDE, it’s too Windows-like. Which is contrary to what I’m trying to do by switching to Linux in the first place. So Pop is perfect for me.

What a garbage take. Use what you want, homie.

Father_Redbeard, to foss in What non-FOSS software have you been unable to quit?
@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

Obsidian. Plain text files with as many or as few plugins as you want. All versions of the app look and behave the same (other than mobile, but at least android is kinda close). Nothing stored in a database file, no manipulation of the text files themselves (looking at you, Joplin). I’m open to another option but so far, nothing is as elegant and platform agnostic as Obsidian.

Recent convert myself. And now that I’ve experienced mail, calendar, notes, and file storage all in the same app (android, at least) I can’t go back to separate apps.

Father_Redbeard, to opensource in Ente encrypted open source alternativ to Google Photos. Can be self hosted and supports S3 backend
@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

I’ve heard good things. I will admit I don’t like hiding features that I would consider to be essential behind a paywall. But I may have to give it another try.

Damn, that’s a great price. Who is your VPS provider so I can keep an eye out for similar deals?

@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

I’d love to try it out but only self-hosted. And so far I can’t get it spun up. To be clear, I’m sure that’s a me problem. That said, the instructions are pretty spartan and a few commands to run and “that’s it. you can now create an account and login!” but that doesn’t work for me.

I currently have Immich running and it’s good. But I’ve had two updates break my install, requiring hours of work to get it back to working reliably. They have a disclaimer that this can happen and isn’t ready for production yet, so I don’t fault them for that. I’m just on the hunt for something more reliable. Ente seems like it’s been around a good while. I just need to figure out what I’m doing wrong. The S3 backend is a pretty great feature, imo.

I haven’t. I will try it out, thanks!

Father_Redbeard, to selfhost in Shared photo library options?
@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

Ok, I like this idea. Handn’t thought of doing a single library we all log into. That certainly could make things easier since I already have the server up and running.

Actually I’m not sure. I will investigate for sure though!

Father_Redbeard, to linux in [ META ] What is the community's opinion of Pop!_OS?
@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

I really like it. I tried several distros for my first dedicated desktop Linux machine and pop was the one that clicked. I like that it’s not trying to mimick windows UI, and only sorta behaves like macOS. Everyone else was too close to win10. Which I understand is a selling point, so to speak, but I’m so sick of windows that I wanted it to look and act differently.
