This is basically why people self host. Then your phone is really just a client to all your services.

I really like purelymail. I’ve had no problems, their billing is super simple and really cheap. The security options are nice and it doesn’t want to sell me a VPN or share my files or any crap like that.
constantokra@lemmy.oneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What life hack is so simple yet so effective, you're shocked more people don't know about it?2·1 year agoSometimes fridge doors sag because the bushings on the hinges break or deteriorate. I’ve fixed them before by adding washers in place of the bushings, or cutting a new bushing out of a hard plastic cutting board.
constantokra@lemmy.oneto politics @lemmy.world•[Trump Shooting] Suspect was registered as Republican voter, state records show1·1 year agoThey’re less lethal, not non lethal, and they’re frequently used as an excuse to escalate violence needlessly. I’m very critical of the use of their use of force and would generally prefer police to be unarmed, but this is not a situation where I have any complaints. That threat needed to be neutralized as quickly and effectively as possible. Overwhelming force was the best way to do that.

constantokra@lemmy.oneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was the first effective cure for a disease in history?9·1 year agoThat’s clever, but I’d rather mow than mop.

constantokra@lemmy.oneto politics @lemmy.world•Trump could legally sell pardons under 'blueprint for totalitarianism' from Supreme Court4·1 year agoIf it makes you feel any better, with the age of these two candidates and the speed of the courts it’s likely that it didn’t actually matter before the ruling. They’re not exactly consequences if they happen after you’ve died peacefully of old age.
constantokra@lemmy.oneto politics @lemmy.world•Biden Told Ally That He Is Weighing Whether to Continue in the Race2·1 year agoThat’s like some magic spell or something. Being the president for a few months, while you actually spend most of your time campaigning, can not possibly make someone that much more electable.
constantokra@lemmy.oneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What’s the worst piece of technology you’ve ever owned?2·1 year agoNah, I had the kindle keyboard and it was great. Still is, if I don’t want to read with a backlight. My first one stopped working after at least a decade, and a couple months later I came across one in a thrift store for like 10 bucks and it still works great.
constantokra@lemmy.oneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What’s the worst piece of technology you’ve ever owned?2·1 year agoWith as cheap as pen plotters have gotten, I’m surprised no one has come up with a reasonably small printer looking one for normal sized paper that functions like an actual printer. the ones you can get need special plugins and vector graphics to plot. There used to be many models several decades ago, and they can still be found and modified to use normal pens, but that’s kind of a driver nightmare. I feel like we’re past the point where people need to be able to print many pages relatively quickly, and I’d rather have a printer that took a while to print but I knew that it would work every single time.

constantokra@lemmy.oneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What’s the worst piece of technology you’ve ever owned?31·1 year agoExcept that it’s great to homebrew and experience literally everything it has to offer. It’s the same with the 3ds. Turns out to be about the best handheld emulator out there, because of the extremely high quality buttons.
constantokra@lemmy.oneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What’s the worst piece of technology you’ve ever owned?5·1 year agoHave to add, I came across mine the other day in a drawer and the soft touch finish is sticky now, and the thing was so bad to begin with I feel like it’s that way on purpose just to be a dick.
constantokra@lemmy.oneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What uses of a smartphone do you think most people miss out on?1·1 year agoI use a petzl zipka for that. The headband is a retractable string, so it has no bulk, and it runs on aaas. I don’t think they make them anymore, but you can still find them occasionally.
constantokra@lemmy.oneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What uses of a smartphone do you think most people miss out on?1·1 year agoWith bitwarden you can store and securely share files, store information for family members, card details, memos, etc
constantokra@lemmy.oneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What uses of a smartphone do you think most people miss out on?6·1 year agoMy favorite use for my phone was wabbitemu, which was a perfect emulator for the ti86 calculator I’ve used almost daily since 1998. Apparently my new phone uses a new architecture and the app doesn’t work, so that’s rather disappointing.
constantokra@lemmy.oneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What uses of a smartphone do you think most people miss out on?5·1 year agoIf the phone flashlight is so useful, try carrying a legit flashlight for a while. They’re loads better. I’d suggest one of the smaller offerings from rovyvon. Any of them are great, but I like the ones with two lenses and a rechargeable plus AAA battery compartment. It’s the size of a car key fob, lasts a long time, charges over USB c, and goes from super dim to insanely bright.
constantokra@lemmy.oneto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What tool do you use to display your self-hosting infrastructureEnglish2·1 year agoYeah, and I assume future me will be even dumber than present day me, so I try to make it really easy for him to find out what he needs to know.
Another good tip is to put timestamps and increase the length of your bash history. That way when I log in half a year from now I’ll know what I was up to.
Who eats a cheese sandwich with ketchup? That’s disgusting. Now peanut butter and cheese sandwich? Perfectly acceptable.
