- owebmaster 1y agoHave you tried GNU/Linux?
- SkyeCA 1y agoGiven the state of modern tech enthusiasts? The answer for many is likely no, no they have not.
- brookst 1y agoIf you built up a Linux system to have similar functionality (single user account across systems that syncs user data, automatically backs up to a cloud, syncs photos and videos, sends all traffic through an anonymizing relay, receives push notifications for essentially all apps, etc), would it contact fewer services?
- beeflet 1y agoTo some extent. You could do a lot of the syncing with a decentralized system like syncthing. You could use GPS for time. Tor for anonymization and additional firewall-punching.
- brookst 1y agoGPS isn’t great indoors. Tor just stuffs things through a tunnel. You could do the same on a Mac with a VPN and say it’s just connecting to one service. And by the time you get to nightly backups and photo sharing across computers, I think it’d be pretty similar.
