Hi, I’m sbird! I like to make all sorts of things!
I’ve tried tuta before. It seems pretty okay, but it doesn’t support IMAP meaning you have to use their app, and (at least for me) it was SLOW.
I personally use disroot, but there’s loads of other options, like mailfence seems like a decent alternative. Just pick one that supports IMAP
oh and also I should definitely include links to awesome-selfhosted and other similar github repos, that would definitely be good too.
that seems pretty cool. I should probably add links to similar github repos as well (e.g. awesome-selfhosted, awesome-[whatever], etc.)
ooh yes that’s a good idea. I can probably experiment with different colour palettes. maybe even a high contrast toggle option???
I use floorp (firefox fork) because I like having the tabs at the bottom. Makes them closer to the taskbar and a bit easier to navigate.
Thanks for the criticism! yeah, there is definitely heavy bias in this. I’ll try to add some description to why I chose what I chose. I think I did that well when it comes to the “devices” section (I have written the specs of some of the laptops and compared them based on that) but yeah you’re right I definitely need to improve on that.
Screenshots of the programs are a good idea too. A lot of the desktop and phone apps were mostly based on my experiences with them and I agree that it’s definitely quite biased. Maybe I could extend bestof into being a review site as well, that would be kind of cool and interesting.
oh, and also, bestof isn’t yet another suggestion repo, my idea is that it covers a whole lot of different topics from clothing to smart home tech to 3d printers. I’ve got the breadth of content, but need more depth, as you said! Again, thank you for your time to respond, really appreciate it!
yep ok I’ll do that next time. Sorry about the crossposting, my bad! Originally I thought that I should share each category of bestof with their respective communities, but now it just looks like spam (and looking at it, it really is imo)!
oh yep, oops, I’ll go fix that
yes, but LibreOffice makes more sense for Linux in my opinion. for some weird reason LibreOffice’s UI in Windows looks horrible, so for Windows I prefer OnlyOffice. On Linux, LibreOffice’s UI is fine, so I prefer that over OnlyOffice for Linux.
probably. I’ve searched around and there seems to be a few plugins for connecting OVOS with HA. no idea if those let you control devices though. Hopefully OVOS (and others like it) eventually develop into a worthy alternative to Alexa/Google/Siri!
I just wanted to share a fun project I was working on :(
oh this counts as self promotion, should I delete the post then? really sorry about this
yep, I fixed the typo! I’ve always thought it was spelt Mastadon. weird. I never used Facebook/Instagram/Snapchat/whatever even before I knew about the fediverse. I basically only use Mastodon to keep up to date with tech news through following accounts like android authority. Pixelfed I use just to share photos I’ve captured. Lemmy I use as what it is: a reddit alternative. Never used frendica before, but probably won’t try it since I personally have no use for it.
not sure, OVOS and Mycroft were the only two that was mentioned a lot online. There aren’t many good voice assistants that aren’t Alexa/Google/Siri so those two are your best options
oh cool, never knew about that. I’ll add that then! I searched for a little bit and it seems WAY more lightweight than the official bitwarden server.
yep, the app is SLOW
