Does that effectively hide root? Because the parent repo says it’s only “guaranteed” to work for Google apps.

And now, even when your WiFi is off they still turn it on to “help with location tracking.” And they’re talking about taking away the ability to turn Bluetooth off.

I’ve been self hosting for 2 or 3 years and haven’t been hacked, though I fully expect it to happen eventually(especially if I start posting my blog in places). I’d suggest self hosting a VPN to get into your home network and not making your apps accessible via the internet unless 100% necessary. I also use docker containers to minimize the apps access to my full system. Best of luck!

I’m not aware of a new interface. Did it just change or something?

I use the Nextcloud News app. It’s not as fully featured as others, but it does the job for me. Just requires a lot of setup and has a lot of extra stuff with it if you don’t want to actually use all the Nextcloud features.

Learn docker. That should probably be #1. That will open up a world of self hosting options.

That depends. How new are you? What do you already know?

I homelab to study and practice, and I switched around 1.19. It’s been very smooth for me. Literally just had to change the docker image I was using.

See, that’s the situation where we just don’t use them. I’m talking about wiping the original OS and putting something that’s really FOSS in its place.

All I’m hearing is that we might be able to hack these devices and put full Linux on them.

Self hosted Bitwarden out of my house. I bought an old server a while back and it’s been running like a champ. The official version s a bit cumbersome, but it seems to work really well. No complaints.

I may not have enjoyed using their distro, but I’m really happy to see this. They’re really popular in the desktop Linux market and it may help to get more users over here in the Fediverse.
