I’ve been using OpenCalc, but CalcYou seems great too

This is just talking about developers having to include a link to their privacy policy in the respective field in the App Store/Play Store

A privacy policy is only legally required when you actually collect user data. Most devs don’t write a privacy policy for no reason, so seeing one can often be suspicious. Btw if you are worried about a FOSS app tracking you without disclosing it in their privacy policy, if this is the case, F-Droid would display it under the Anti-features section.

Yes, I use and recommend Clock You: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.bnyro.clock/

+1 for the Minecraft Clock mentioned in another comment tho

It’s actually a problem with Google, because the only reason GrapheneOS doesn’t pass the Play Integrity API check is that Google enforces a whitelist of allowed operating systems. Even though GrapheneOS is 10x as secure as the stock OS, Google doesn’t allow it. Since this is a highly monopolistic practice, the GrapheneOS team is talking to regulators to finally stop this: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112916691727814901

Because it’s Google’s proprietary garbage app. Use FOSS alternatives from F-Droid instead.

I don’t really think a separate device like a phone is necessary to store 2FA tokens, the only option I would consider is a hardware key like YubiKey for storing TOTPs.

Personally I wouldn’t keep my TOTP together with my passwords, but it’s up to you

Using 2FA on all accounts that offer it is just as important. And make sure to use a good, open-source TOTP client like Aegis on Android or Tofu on iOS.

Definitely make sure to backup your seeds in an encrypted format (e.g. Veracrypt container or GPG-encrypted files). If you lose your seeds, you lose access to your accounts.
I like to use the automatic backup feature in Aegis, which syncs my encrypted vault to my Nextcloud server. You can also enable compatibility with Android’s backup API and use that if your ROM includes a backup solution like Seedvault.

Except a lot of homelab software doesn’t support things like LDAP

it’s hard to look inside and manually edit

It’s actually pretty easy when you’re on a Mac. They bundle an app called Keychain Access, which lets you look at and edit everything.

It’s not that bad, but tell her that she can set Bitwarden as the default option for auto-fill in the settings and everything will get automatically filled in, just like with the normal Safari password manager

Yes. As long as it’s secure and open-source, has all the features you need and you’re comfortable with the user interface, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, and you should use what you like.

You can actually unlock LUKS from another machine over SSH: https://www.cyberciti.biz/security/how-to-unlock-luks-using-dropbear-ssh-keys-remotely-in-linux/

I’m pretty happy with this solution

Deleting messages is still a thing. If there is a message you need to preserve, take a screenshot. If you are worried that someone might think that the screenshot is fake, take a screen recording, or even better, use your phones camera to physically record your screen.

You can use Roundcube for web mail

Just want to mention that TrueNAS is FOSS and unRAID is not. And I wouldn’t necessarily say that unRAID is much easier.

• Home Assistant
  There’s no fucking way I’m using a cloud service to control parts of my home, that just feels so wrong to me on so many levels

• Nextcloud
  There’s no way I’m saving my files on someone else’s computer (the Cloud). Even with encryption, it’s expensive. Hard drives are cheap. Put them in a server, install Nextcloud and you have your private, cheap, independent cloud service.

• Immich (currently migrating to Ente) for my photos

• Jellyfin + arr Stack
  I’m not paying $100/month for 5 different streaming services to have access to all the content I like.

• Navidrome for my (pirated) music

• Audiobookshelf for audiobooks and podcasts

• Pi-Hole with Unbound set up as a recursive resolver, cause why should I trust someone else with DNS?

I also self-host Matrix or Revolt servers as well as game servers for me and my friends, because it’s much cheaper than getting VPS or a hosted option, and I already have this server that I use for a bunch of other stuff, so I can also just use it for that.

Common Rust superiority

It’s still slow and written in Bash/Python
