Pop!_OS in mid 2021. Switched to Fedora GNOME in mid 2022, haven't looked back, but am looking forward to Fedora COSMIC.

For software I'd recommend using Frigate for ally the processing and then integrating it with Home Assistant.

You can deploy the Joplin sync server using docker on a VPS or any other computer always on. I've been using it for about a year now, without issues, though I'm now transitioning to Notesnook now.

I had a lot of false starts with having to upload and tag >3000 documents initially. Finally made the leap and did it in December. I now use it regularly, but am still getting used to the new dynamic, but that's a transitional thing. Overall, enjoy it and look forward to more features!

The mobile app is a separate project, and is meant as a companion app rather than full fledged, which I understand. Though, it is still lacking.

They open source all of their clients (when not in beta). They maintain multiple open source cryptographic libraries, in multiple languages, which a lot of developers and companies go on to use. They have a yearly fundraiser for open source and digital rights groups, which they contribute a $100,000 to each year.

Just because their server code is not open source, doesn't mean they don't support open source. It's not an all or nothing situation. Binary thinking and classification is a very dangerous and naïve way to look at things.

It might be a good idea to do the exact opposite I.e. make a OSS whitelist. It will be much easier to maintain given the scale of applications/services/products.

Proton's server code is not Open Source because it contains filter and anti spam detection which if released, would severely hamper their ability to detect spam and keep their users safe + detect abuse for their service.

Proton has had extensive security audits done and their claims have been backed up by independent third parties.

The definition should be further modified to include legitimate reasons for not open sourcing some code + having audits to back up claims.

If you're referring to page 5, that compares 2021 to 2022. A huge proportion of the world still had travel restrictions due to covid in 2021, whereas in 2022, almost none did.

You can use the battery stats, but for longer time storage I would recommend UsageDirect

The only thing this project needs is good self-hosting support. It's currently an absolute nightmare. Have tried it 2-3 times with absolutely no luck.

Issues for this have been open for over 3 years and there's been absolutely no progress.

How does it compare with flatseal?
