      Nostr is one of them, but I’d learn how to set that up first before using Primal.

      Also, Nostr means Notes and Stuff on Relays, and is Free Software. This is the wild west of the internet, from what I was notified by my producer, Neigsendoig.

      All of my services are in a WireGuard VPN. The Internet only transports my VPN traffic. My cloud services run in a locked box, in my house and the only thing coming out of that box is VPN traffic.

      To my devices, they just think that they’re on a LAN.

      I do use this site, but I limit/lie about personal details and use a VPN. I assume I’m identifiable and act accordingly.

          The homelab and Linux communities are a good place to start. There’s a lot of very well made free and open source software (FOSS) that can, with some effort (mostly learning), replace most of the cloud services you use.

          For example: I use Jellyfin (movies, TV Shows) and Audiobookshelf (books/Audiobooks) to replace all of the streaming services. HomeAssistant for home automation, power management, etc. Zoneminder(experimenting with Frigate) for security.

          It’s all free, for homeassistant and zoneminder you’ll have to check for compatible hardware and everything requires you to set up the server/networking side of things. But if you’re willing to put in the time to learn, it’s a fun hobby that pays for itself (assuming you’re paying for streaming, home automation, cloud storage, etc).
