OpenStreetMap based city navigation app that helps you explore your city easily. The app shows points of interest in different categories such as ATMs, gas stations, drugstores, mobile phone stores etc. based on your location and it does so without keeping your data. If you are an OSM contributor you can also edit or add POIs directly from the app.
Never heard of Greppr, (t y) did a test search with best private search engine showing this at hit number 10 : lemmy.ml/comment/121842 which echoes your comment about a blog post in this thread :-)
This post is going to be a bit personal (and maybe a little bit out of context, it’s not just Google software I want to remove) but I’m tired of not knowing what to do about it. I want and have wanted to get rid of a bunch of proprietary software in my life, including but not limited to Google’s software, for quite a while...
Looking at this from my own personal perspective. I like to DeGoogle as much as possible because I strongly dislike the idea of others tracking me and creating profiles and making money from that, but at the same time many years ago people already could be tracked when carrying “dumb phones” on you so I figure some compromises will likely have to be made (Some people I know got rid of using phones altogether but not everyone is able to do so).At least at home for your desktop computer or laptop you can look into pi-hole.net and VPN and Tor. Use LibreWolf instead of Firefox (Firefox is quite full of Google by default).
Agreed. Actually some people are crazy about Signal for the Stickers signalstickers.org and I’ll admit that I find the Signal Stickers fun as well. Stickers could be the decisive argument to have them use Signal :)
Of course you can DeGoogle, but that depends on your situation, the people you need to communicate with. As far as I am concerned Apple is not as innocent as they pretend to be.
NFS : historically insecure by default. Don’t know about Kerberos making it secure but Kerberos does not look easy to configure.
sshfs : probably most easy to setup. Can be confusing with ownership and permissions sometimes.
Samba : solid but has a learning curve, even for a simple setup. For example, for a standalone Samba server omitting the Active Directory part, you need to know that in order to create a Samba user you must first have created a local user with the same username.
Thanks for the link :) I have already setup a samba share (actually I have setup all 3 on my server xD).
Nice :) With Samba you can also create guest entries without passwords for visitors while having your private files behind your own login. Here an example of guest access : std.rocks/gnulinux_samba_no_password.html
And apart from that Samba should be fine for access from MacOS and Windows clients unlike with the ancient NFS, which I expect to be more troublesome to connect especially on Windows, though that is a wild guess.

Alternative to Google maps?
Are there any good apps to use as a replacement for google maps? It’s the only google service I’m still using.
Google search alternatives?
Hey, I’m wondering what everyone uses for searching. I personally use a combination of these sites:...

Hi everyone !...
Proton Pass app just landed in F-Droid (lemmy.ml)
Refreshing the main F-Droid repository shows it as new. Can’t find it on the website yet. Nice for Proton users to have it on F-Droid.
