Articles too much time too, so I made you this

  • Google bad, tracking sucks
  • Android -> graphene
  • Keep -> joplin
  • Docs -> nextcloud
  • Gmail -> proton
  • GMaps -> car GPS
  • Tailscale
  • Selfhosted on SteamDeck

  • Gmail -> proton

I recommend Tuta over Proton. They're much more focused on their core product (not making their own crypto wallet or VPN or storage service or password manager), plus Tuta's leadership has never endorsed US Republicans, unlike Proton's

I kinda use most of proton's stuff. Also I'm not on the us so no idea what the second part means

GMaps -> car GPS

What? No. OSM or literally anything else than a fucking car. Stars and sextant.

Organic maps rocks

[–] Microw@piefed.zip 3 points 8 hours ago

He emphasized that for him living in Japan and mainly needing to use maps in order to navigate, the japanese car GPS is the best fit.

Which obviously is very different for people in a different situation.

Thats what Felix said, im personally a fan of OrganicMaps

[–] rfr_Foglia@feddit.it 3 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

Investigate CoMaps... There's some drama around Organic Maps due to bad leadership

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

It is up to you

Personally I don't see anything wrong

[–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Because traffic data can't be obtained without some tracking...

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I think it would be cool to do some sort of p2p network

[–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago

Either way the problem isn't with the technology, but with how many people in a road junction is using that software.

[–] kalleboo@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

In Japan they have an IR beacon system to track traffic congestion which works anonymously and lets offline car navigation systems have good-quality traffic info.

[–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 hours ago

Great info so that's why non popular japaneese car app is working great for him

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think he actually used something else than proton, he didn’t mention though. Except that he uses his own domain name.

I drive believe he has started hosting his own email though

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

That is very hard to do

I salute anyone who tries but big tech as sort of captured the market.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Tailscale -> Headscale after you get comfy.

[–] Willdrick@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

It's on my to-research list. I heard some rumblings that tailscale might go IPO. Not that's bad by itself but I have been burned by stuff like that leaving me stranded once they "pivot their operations to maximize investor satisfaction" (aka enshittification)
