That's just a bandaid on capitalism's issues. Urging people not to support the biggest actor will never work in the grand scheme of things, when said actor provides their best immediate interests.
Not exactly self hosting but maintaining/backing it up is hard for me. So many “what if”s are coming to my mind. Like what if DB gets corrupted? What if the device breaks? If on cloud provider, what if they decide to remove the server?...
Vimms lair is starting to remove many roms that are being requested to be removed by Nintendo etc. soon many original roms, hacks, and translations will be lost forever. Can any of you help make archive torrents of roms from vimms lair and cdromance? They have hacks and translations that dont exist elsewhere and will probably be...
Piracy is cool, but I prefer to use community-driven software rather than ones driven by corporate profits. I prefer a model where many can contribute to it, fork it, and for which making integrations is much easier thanks to its openness.
I want a to-do list app that syncs from a json file (or other human-readable data format), so that I can view and modify the file (via a CLI like jq) from my computer too, and it would still reflect on my phone when it syncs....
In the desktop world, we have the option to use the command line: a uniform interface for a multitude of apps that would otherwise be very different when implemented as GUIs....
Termux is awesome, but it is not what I'm looking for. Using Termux lacks the ergonomics of using a terminal on desktop. The keyboard / typing experience is far worse.
I know Calibre can remove DRM, but it seems that Calibre does not remove things like watermarks, references to the buyer by name, etc. Now maybe I can try to find those manually, but that is an error prone process. Plus, what if they embed a unique digital signature that ties back to me? I understand that this is a very uncommon...
Cloudflare is bad. Youre right.
Centralization is bad for everyone everywhere....
Self hosting is hard. How do you overcome?

To-do list / calendar app with dependent tasks? (preferably open source)

A To-do List / Task Manager App That Syncs from JSON / Yaml File?

Could a uniform interface (like the command line) ever exist for smartphones? What could it look like?

Bluesky backs a project that would let Mastodon apps, like Ivory, work with its network ( techcrunch.com )
How can I upload books (to libgen, et al) without a trace back to me?
