@pl_woah @Guenther_Amanita I regard these all these things as nerd toys for exploring innovation ...

@DangerousInternet @Guenther_Amanita This is the big drawback of 'immutable'. You surrender all rights to the system and totally reliant on the provider's QA, which of course is impossible to be 100%.

@jaykay @TCB13 Hetzner has low cost storage servers with SMB, SFTP & WebDAV access. Not quite self hosted but a hell of a lot better than [insert proprietary privacy invasive mega corp]

@DichotoDeezNutz @jaykay Saving to a network drive _OTHER_THAN_ proprietary US mega corporations would be essential for me (eg SFTP, WEBDAV)

This is a show stopper for me on any of the big name 'encrypted' platforms, Proton, Tuta et al - impossible to import/export data. Moving from one silo'ed walled garden to another arguably worse one is anathema.

The thing that sucks the least for me is to pay to host my own email/contacts/calendar/storage via open source apps in a privacy friendly jurisdiction e.g. Hetzner

Are older, but Linux compatible computers capable of running the newest kernel/version of various distros? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Ubuntu 23.10 & Fedora 39, both running Gnome of all things (eye roll) run just fine on my late 2009 iMac (iMac 10,1)

* nb : Fedora 39 has an installation bug. Installing Fedora 38 minimal then upgrading to 39 is the simplest solution. Kudos as usual to Canonical for shipping a trouble free install on Mac.
