Now they can get better hardware, but should they? They take seriously the low tech part, and part of being low tech is fighting against consumerism culture and keeping with what they have, which is wotking fine

One of the best sites to browse on e-ink devices!
If unsure, let it take some hours of direct sun exposure to reach high temperatures for most molds
Putting simple things behind a qrwall. I once went to a presentation and they had that qr code to scan to get the certificate, and I went there without my phone, so I got no certificate (I needed it for academic bureaucracy). restaurants with qr-only menus also come to mind. Oh, I also saw once a school with the timetables mural with just qrs and nothing else written, so if new students didn’t have a phone AND mobile internet, they couldn’t find by themselves where and when their classes took place


In a dystopic future, somewhere…
Chilling out listening to some music
BANG!
“Put your hands up! No sudden moves!”
“But, but…”
“We tracked down self-hosting activities, and we’re confiscating everything and taking you to jail”


Network traffic, unique accesses, etc are metrics used by investors and media to measure their success, so we’re still contributing to it, and also, we’re preventing alternatives from gaining more fame, so getting rid of corporations should always be the preferred path


Most of the criticism onlyoffice faces is due to their shady handling of open source. Another group forking and developing over it has potential to be great for us, if they’re more open and transparent.


But… can we trust that we will have stuff available on the internet in the future?


Don’t stop at self-hosting. We need all forms of community building, from organizing like-minded people to gardening, off-grid energy, etc.


Someone recommended a similar app, although not so lightweight, that blocks ads and allows to run a vpn too. it’s rethink dns. Maybe you can run mullvard vpn with it?


Glad to be helpful ^ _ ^


Welcome to lemmy, and happy new year!


That one is nice too. I ended favoring personalDNSfilter because I don’t use any vpn and its apk has less than a megabyte. I was impressed at how small it is.


Might not be news to most of you, but I recently discovered personalDNSfilter (https://f-droid.org/pt_BR/packages/dnsfilter.android/), and I’m installing it on any phones I find in front of me.
This app is very lightweight, doesn’t require root, and by default, blocks ads and trackers via dns lists. It can also be used for using custom dns servers, including DoH and DoT or to block other things via custom lists. It’s simple and easy to use, while also allowing power users to do a lot more


Your computer very likely doesn’t need a special distro for low end devices yet. A common distro like linux mint will do fine, and that’s probably the best choice if you’re new to linux.
Edit: if you only want to host stuff on it, and nothing else, maybe that yunohost people recommended can be a better choice
Awesome! I will try it too!
