Quitting Reddit and switching to lemmy - easy. Quitting FB - not possible. I have no other way to keep in touch with remote friends and relatives and there are local FB groups that are useful for me. Dropping Whatsapp also is sadly impossible. With my nerdy friends I use telegram/signal but 99.99% of ppl are available only on WhatsApp.

A pleasure to read. Every time. Thank you for this
Wow that’s a great idea
In retrospect, I’m really glad all of this shit with Reddit happened and lemmy became a thing in my life. Was bummed initially when Apollo died, but now despite needed polish in lemmy apps, the experience here is much much better and I would never go back.
For app data, Borg as backup/restore software. Backup data is then stored on Hetzner as an offsite backup - super easy and cheap to setup. Also add healthchecks.io to get notified if a backup failed.
Edit: Backup docker compose files and other scripts (without API keys!!!) with git to GitHub.
It’s literally takes 2 clicks to tunnel via a VPN
That sounds like an excellent solution for web based apps, but what about services like Plex or Nextcloud that use their own client side apps?

6 leagues in and still waiting for it happen
It feels like it is possible to have a conversation here. In Reddit I felt like my comments were getting buried
Fuck Reddit. I’m here now and it’s great.
