Looks good for files, but if you want total replacement of icloud/google/ms services such as contacts, calendar, tasks, notes, and so much more, Nextcloud is best in class.

I deal with this by subscribing to very few mainstream media sources since they typically report the same thing in unison with slight variation. The slight variation makes deduplication technically difficult. I use Nextcloud News, and maybe their future LLM models could accomplish this.

Good alternatives you can self-host are Nextcloud Talk, Jitsi, BigBlueButton, Unhangout, and Matrix. Find a community instance of any of these if you don’t have the chops to host your own.

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance which in this case means staying up on and switching up your tech stack constantly. The solutions are generally straightforward, but the implementations are seemingly too difficult for most. With digital, self host everything you can and use FOSS everywhere you can. With physical, pay cash and leave as few footsteps and facial images as you can.

It is great but only missing a desktop client.

I have a similar 321 strategy without using someone else’s server and needing to traverse the internet. I keep my drive in the pool shed, since if my house was to blow up or get robbed, the shed would probably be fine.
