Have a look at YUNOhost for your OS. It's based on Debian and is designed to be really easy to set up and use, which might be useful for you as you have young children and not much time.

I haven't even looked at port forwarding. I think maybe some ISPs in some countries might block traffic this way but others will know better. Everything just works with Mullvad on Fedora with Qbittorrent, so I'm happy.

Going organic and plant-based would be such a massive improvement.

People have been saying this for at least 40 years.

I think this is a good article and I agree with it.

A big part of how I got turned on to open source was emotional and still is tbh. I felt like I was being taken for a fool by Apple, Google, Microsoft and Facebook and was angry.

The big money and power is in information technology now and it's the new instrument of imperialism, which is why 'enshittification' has happened. The great news though is that information is so easily shareable and reproducible, so the more of it we make free the harder it is for them to keep fucking us over with it.

I don't know when the next big civilizational 'reshuffle' will happen (probably on it's way now), but the more that we make common and free the less leverage the greedheads will have over us when it's time to work out a new settlement.

Great to see some love for Shotwell!

I think Cherrytree is my most important app. It's primarily for making hierarchical lists but you can hyperlink between nodes and to external files and URLs and you can insert files, images and tables. I pretty much use it for organising my entire life and archiving important files, links and documents. The database is a single file (which you can have encrypted), so it's super portable and you can sync it between devices. You can easily theme it yourself too (the default theme/icons looks quite old school).

I also love GIMP 3.0
