Spot on, federation and decentralization is the right path forward. Users create the content and should own it, the output of our time and typing has value and shouldn't be siloed away in corporate money making machines run by sociopaths. It should belong to the people to help us connect to each other.

Same here, the engagement level is well worth the transition and I'm tired of corporate silos, federation FTW!

If you want to use transmission as your torrent client I recommend checking out https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn . There are some additional configuration changes needed for mullvad but it should be straightforward.

Here's my docker-compose.yml for nextcloud (with minor privacy changes) that includes onlyoffice and drawio containers. SSL is not included and should be handled by NPM and you'll need a proxy host for both drawio and onlyoffice. I use NPM in docker so I just add it to the docs network instead of exposing any additional ports. For onlyoffice the secret key gets regenerated each time the container starts so you'll need to update onlyoffice setting in nextcloud each time (unless someone has a better solution). You can get the secret key by logging into the onlyoffice container and running

cat /etc/onlyoffice/documentserver-example/local.json

I've been running this solution for a few years without any major issues.

I recommend using Kiwix, https://kiwix.org/en/

They already have a monthly archive of ifixit available: https://library.kiwix.org/viewer#ifixit_en_all_2023-10/home/home

There are tons of other offline resources available for Kiwix as well https://library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng

If you want the security/privacy of whonix capabilities with the flexibility of fedora you should checkout Qubes OS. As long as you have the correct hardware to run Qubes it can make for a secure and unique experience.

I never used the command line with Kopia besides starting it up in server mode and used the web based GUI to configure, it was pretty simple to get everything setup that way. You may want to give it another try using Kopia in that mode.

Kopia has been working great for me as well. It's simple, versatile and reliable. I previously used Duplicati but kept running into jobs failing for no reason, backup configurations missing randomly and simple restores taking hours. It was a hot mess and I'm happy I switched.

These are some great suggestions, I use several of these already but I hadn't heard of Coffee, Droid-ify or Geometric Weather and all three have been added to my phone. I really appreciate Coffee because I've been manually updating the screen timeout each time I cook and it's a pain to switch it each time, this quick toggle is a definite quality of life improvement. Droid-ify and Geometric weather are slick and I really like their look. Thanks!

Yep, I've been using it daily for a few years now to keep my personal, social, research and work lives separate and compartmentalized. It's the most user friendly way I've been able to keep things straight with the different color schemes and ability to run whonix/Debian/fedora/windows and switch between them with ease.
