Self host invidious maybe?

How is it in terms of privacy?

Hi! Could you please indicate how you manage the system on the beelink? Base OS, how you deal with storage , containers or VMs?

Thanks in advance!!!

Is this for the community edition?

If it has anything to do with the ghostery addon that was bought by ad company, keep away from it

What do you say to a shady VPN? Not today

So the biggest issues in Spain over the last years is kids watching porn? Really? Spain has been through a shitstorm and this is what they think of. This is just an excuse to generalise the use of digital identity certificates for all the stuff they want.

• this isn’t even a left or right thing, since its government is an amalgamation of left parties

Terrible service, don’t bother

It’s on my plans to dive a bit into self hosting, but for now only inside LAN. Still reading on it. On a VPS I wouldn’t be capable of securing and doing good administration in the next few months. But definitely on my roadmap (especially since I want to move careers for something more technical)

• would you consider 1984 above orange for instance? The only ones I’d like to avoid are the likes of godaddy stuff

Caldav would be the ideal solution if it were decently encrypted but it’s not the case… it would be nice since most calendar apps support it :/

Thanks!!! Weird that without looking for any there are ads popping up everywhere is for antivirus.

So for the macOS system , if I want to do a scan once in a while (even to catch windows-targeted stuff so that I don’t get bad files in backups) what would you advise ? I go on the “high seas” occasionally for anime, books and tv series… that’s one of my worries

Yes that’s exactly what I was aiming for:

• an option for data backups that I will only access/move when managing backups or restoring data in computer (I’d need at most 300-500GB)
• an option for repeated access for files that I’d plan to use / change weekly.

So with duplicati you’re able to send the backups to backblaze bucket in an encrypted way? What would I need to retrieve the data and unencrypt on computer if mine would break? How would you use backblaze as daily cloud? I thought it was mostly a bucket to drop stuff. Is there any way to mount it as a network drive while having everything encrypted ?

• right now I have Filen with 100GB and it’s more than enough for me right now. However, from what I’ve read it’s not compatible with cryptomator and I cannot mount it as drive. Moreover the app is only for syncing data, which is not my aim

Ohhh. I think that’s where I’m getting confused in terms of best practice. Which one the following scenarios do you recommend?

• leave DNS in the network settings as default and once in a while use VPN as-is
• change DNS in network settings and onde in a while use VPN without changing anything else

I’m making a big confusion: so you mean that if I change the DNS at network settings I should revert those changes when I decide to activate VPN? Or simply leave the new DNS of the settings and not touch anything while I have VPN on?

Sorry for the trouble!!!

Thanks for the feedback! Ah for the 500GB it’s the higher plan. Already gets somewhat expensive.

Regarding backblaze for backups, it’s basically a way of dropping all the stuff and leave it there right? It’s not a cloud service (in the sense of filen and others) but for keeping data right? How are you ensuring that you have all the backups encrypted?

Yes; they have nice deals now! That would close the topic of email and calendar. Are you able to easily backup your emails?

Thanks for insights!! I was unsure if changing default settings on DNS would have any effect when using VPN. So it’s ok right? I’ll go for NextDNS, which makes me clear one of the issues in the list. Thank you!!!

But none of them has an E2EE calendar right?

Thank you!! Regarding cloud it could be something that can have a cryptomator container. I wouldn’t have much requirement regarding mobile app except for being able to upload backup of photos

Regarding DNS:

Right now I have it by default, so it goes through my ISP.

I use the VPN mostly when on the high seas… Having the DNS as default value wouldn’t be the same as using any other DNS address? When VPN is on, how is the dns at the netwoek settings behaving? I never quite understood this part!

PS: sorry for bad formatting. I wrote original post in computer, not on mobile the app is having formatting issues (Memmy)

They need to stop making so many releases… I haven’t liked the last ones.
