    I think there is $1.39 going to apple for disk space that I do not use other than I think my pictures are saved to. I really need to get my self hosted Nextcloud finally figured out, and/or some self hosted picture thing. I decided to pay for some Canadian cloud host for Nextcloud but self hosting would probably be better for me.

      How can you be fine with hosting your pics in ANY cloud at all? I totally consider those highly private and worthy of protection from prying eyes. No judgment though, just curious.

        That was just the default that comes with iPhones. I am planning on getting another small nvme drive for one of my pi 5’s and hosting it there or maybe a small ssd.

    I think realistically for most people the only way of doing it - buy Chinese.

    Tapo instead of ring
    OnePlus instead of iPhone Omada instead of ubiquity.

    China should move faster and take us software market so we dont pay local cunts

    It’s not just buying their products either. It’s using their products, even the ones that are free. Every view on YouTube and every Google search supports Google. Every time you use Facebook Marketplace or WhatsApp or Instagram it supports Meta. Every time you browse Amazon without buying, or use any service hosted on AWS, it helps Amazon.

    We need to cut out these corporations as thoroughly as we can, by not even giving them our traffic.

    Deleted my Microsoft account this morning. I’m 100% committed to Linux, Nextcloud and all the alternatives to Microslop
