Not everyone likes the way these images are built, but the liinuxserver.io containers are so easy to use. You can replace so many cloud services using these, I’ve replaced:
- All streaming platforms
- Google drive
- Google photos
- Every note app
- The library (sorta, I just host an ebook server for manga that won’t fit on my reader)
- Grocery lists
- Exercise tracking apps
Plus I’ve setup some awesome new stuff like a website for one of my collectives and a few things to automate server maintenance.
You need somewhere to host your services (I’m using an old PC) and a little linux experience, but it’s absolutely worth giving it a crack. I might work in the industry but I learnt more making my little server than I ever did on the job.
Linux, torrents, youtube (if you use a account-less frontend), Wikipedia.
Is anyone aware of a third-party service for tracking YouTube watch history across devices? That’s the missing piece keeping me from switching
The services of your local library. Sign up and use them, and get your friends & family on too because the more regular users and the more people aware of their services, the harder they are for politicians to take away or slash the budget of.
Common services offered:
- Kanopy, hoopla (free TV shows and movies, similar to Netflix)
- Local/national newspapers digital versions
- PressReader for various (usually subscription-only) magazines
- ebooks and audiobooks via OverDrive/Libby, BorrowBox, hoopla, etc.
- Educational resources like language learning apps
I tried this a few days ago, but Overdrive only had 2 ‘copies’ of the 30+ year old novel I wanted and the waitlist was 10 weeks so I added another “Fuck capitalism for…” to my list.
Harvard just released a free civics course. I’ve been looking into starting that.

Ad blockers
For Safari on macOS, iOS I recommend 1Blocker.
Pi-hole and Vance(YouTube ad blocker.) I can’t watch YouTube with ads now.
Every time you see a Flock license plate reader, add it to the map.
They look like this:
It only costs a bit of your time 😊
As far as what I understand you are saying…
these are free solar panels and cameras?
I read through the website, but I don’t understand how this is helpful. Is it so that people can avoid driving past them, changing their route each time one is added?
Presumably so the people can dismantle the surveillance capabilities of a government turned fascist.
Through vandalism?
By any means necessary
You speak like that’s a bad thing.
I literally did not.
Oh goody then
If Organic Maps supported it as an overlay that would be game changing.
MIT Open Courseware
I was looking for an old show I saw back in 2000’s to see if any streaming platforms had it, low and behold someone had archived the VHS version of the show! The quality obviously wasn’t HD but it was good enough to still watch and reminisce.

My local library uses CloudLibrary, which doesn’t actually support ebook readers. It forces you to install an app and read from your phone. I literally have a card in a neighboring town, just to have Libby access on my Kobo e-reader.
Every time I go in to my local library, I make a point of mentioning that CloudLibrary doesn’t work on e-readers, in the hopes that they’ll consider switching to Libby instead.

Kanopy is a good one, great way to watch free movies. Lots of classics as well as some newer stuff.
Not really „free“ but „mostly free“: Each week you can get a different game from the Epic game store
I keep forgetting about that

I should take advantage of this tread
not that useful but cute: https://http.cat/ and https://http.dog/ give cute pictures to http error codes like 404: file not found or (the better one) 418: im a teapod
When i dont know what an errer code means i often put http.gat/{errorcode} and then i am pleased because of insight and cat- https://haveibeenpwned.com/ is very useful, it takes a few seconds for you to check if some accounts got found in public breaches
Your question’s answer is encapsulated to a high degree here:
