I got Nextcloud on Hetzner. Technically, Hetzner can see the contacts stored on their servers, but I trust them enough, and everything is open source.

You can also self-host Nextcloud.

Who told you to not use Signal, and what reasons did they give? I’m very curious.

The Ka leaves the body and goes to The Beach.

Not Chinese or Japanese scripts, but I do use other non-latin scripts.

• I read Devanagri (Hindi) - नमस्ते
• I also read Gurumukhi (Punjabi) - ਸਤਸ੍ਰੀਅਕਾਲ

And no, we don’t use a larger font size.

I use mailbox.org with my own domains. And I encrypt my inbox using a PGP key I manage myself.

My setup is pretty much the same what Proton gives out of the box, I just manage my own keys rather than replying on the company.

Yes, my provider can see my unencrypted mails before my key encrypts it, but I trust them enough and I don’t pass sensitive information using emails.

Hibernate.

Come on! Robert Downey Jr did such a great job in that one.

I do say that it is a one time watch film, as it will be very boring even if I watch it after a few years.

Same. I like animated superhero films more that live action ones, except for a few like Watchmen.

I use this site. Not all games work, though.

Another option is to use 1337x and search for jc141. They put either native linux game or sometimes have wine built-in their setups, but they require you to install a lot of prerequisites.

Another option is to use emulators like PCSX2 or RPCS3 to play other games with relatively less hassle.

The f-droid team goes through the source code and builds the app themselves before publishing. I think it’s better to trust them. Obtanium is great, but only if the app is not on f-droid or f-droid is lagging behind updates.

That is not ideal, especially if you will be the only one using it. If you are using it alone, YouTube will still be able to profile you, as all the videos will be watched by a single server. It would be just like using YouTube.com with a VPN. If you are self-hosting and a few people will use it, YouTube won’t be able to profile everyone, as it will think all the videos are being watched by a single person.

I use mailbox.org and I manage my own PGP keys. You can also encrypt your whole inbox with your key. To access your inbox, then, you will either have to use something like Thunderbird or give your private key to mailbox.org. And yes, I recommend using your own domain. Also, there is no free-tier.

This is perfect!

Nobara. Because it makes gaming on Linux very easy. It’s based on Fedora, and out of all the operating systems I’ve tried, Fedora and Nobara are the most stable on my laptop.

How’s your experience with Moonshine / Sunshine? Latency on local network?

If you aren’t relying on transcoding, you’re good. I am sure it can handle one or maybe even two streams. Most modern devices can decode H.264 and H.265/HEVC easily, and some even AV1. Watching videos with these codecs on any Smart TV or phone won’t give you a hard time.

In India, you can register yourself with a “Do Not Disturb” service through your carrier. It works surprisingly well.

10, imo.
