Hey Lemmy!

We've released gofoss.net, a beginner's guide to free and open source software, privacy and sustainable tech.

The site is available in English, French and German. We hope that it can help some of you to:

  • safely browse the Internet
  • encrypt your conversations
  • protect your data
  • switch to Linux
  • free your phone from Google & Apple
  • join the Fediverse & use alternative cloud providers
  • self-host your stuff

The source code is available on GitLab. Happy to chat, let us know what you think!

For more information, please come find us at gofoss.net :)

Yeah there are so many of these they are starting to get a little redundant. I understand why privacyguides was created over privacytools. Let the best website win!

tbh, we don't see this as a competition. Those guys (and gals) were there WAY before us, and they know their stuff. And there are many more people covering similar topics, too. We're humble enough to know that we stand on the shoulders of giants. Our feeling is that the subject is complex and fast-paced. With more reliable sources, people have better chances to find whats working best for them.

More sources is always better to increase the reach of these technologies. We need to flood the internet with projects like this to make privacy more mainstream.

Yeah I've been digging into the guides and they're really user friendly. Loving the site so far compared to the others.
