  • I just want a service that’s better than Netflix/Amazon/Disney/Spotify can offer. I want all my media in one place. I want access to it even if the internet is down. Segmentation of media across all the platforms is bullshit and it drives me wild. I’m getting less than what I paid for when Netflix was the only game in town. It’s worse and less than what it used to, so why bother paying them.

    I pirate everything I consume.

    I do believe artists should be paid for what they create, so I still purchase music even if I’ve already pirated it. The artists get more money from me than they would have if I just streamed on Spotify. I think it’s a win-win for me and the artists.






  • SyncThing - to sync my files between devices and avoid the big corporations cloud (use it for notes, Keepass database, photos, etc)

    Logseq - super advanced note taking with tagging and relationships between notes (all store locally)

    Authpass - opening my Keepass password database on my phone

    GrapheneOS Camera - just to avoid the Google camera app as I have Google Photos disabled on my phone and needrd a good app that doesn’t break when going to view the gallery (since it tries to open Google Photos)

    Simple Gallery - to view my photos on my phone

    Signal - I have it but I have very few friends that use it unfortunately

    AntennaPod - for podcasts, I’m thinking of self hosting a podcast tracker to sync my listening habits across my devices, we’ll see if that happens

    Vinyl Music Player - to play my local mp3 files and playlists (I use MusicBee to manage what I sync to the phone as my mp3 library is quite large, and SyncThing to actually copy stuff over)
