Maybe not quite on the spot, but a Storage Share (hosted nextcloud) from Hetzner might be an option.
Bonus features and info: You can also share other files, location, calendars, contacts etc. They have a compliant data protection agreement, and are fully GDPR compliant.

Work with informationsecurity and GDPR. And know as a fact that many danish municipalities which administrate the libraries are using, and are happy with, Linux as public facing citizen PC's in libraries.
They use OS2borgerPC, which translates to OS2citizenPC which is maintained and supported by the danish company Magenta. But it's open source, so if you are in another country you could just use it - or better, give Magenta a call. They're great and very reseaonable.

A Library. Or if digital, Wikipedia and Archive.org.
Conversations or blabber.I'm (fork of the former) are solid. Both on f-droid.

Thanks for sharing. Was looking for something like this so I don't need to have multiple beefy gaming PC's.
I have used Linux for a while and transitioned the wife and kids to Linux Mint a couple years ago.
They know it is different than Windows but never miss anything as the alternatives are as good or better. The kids are used to mobile and tablets so know of app store and so on. The only downside is getting some games their friends play working, like Roblox. But for the most part alternatives like Minetest are fine (better).
The upside is IMHO massive in terms of privacy, security, user friendless and sysadm stuff.
It just works and we're happy with it!
XMPP / Jabber with OMEMO encryption. Lots of free servers and clients.
Same here! Rolling old Thinkpads because of the Linux compatibility, price and reparability is hard to beat. Would like to support the good companies more, but like the tinkering.
Our talk made me think about the ethics of tech companies in general. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a 'Tech Companies Ethics Index' kinda like Phoronix/Toms Hardware Guide is for hardware, but which documents and compare tech on fx the following consumer relevant parameters:
Sources could be: privacyguides, EFF, FSF, iFixit usere own experience and so on.
It could be run by users who also contribute to a git something and site something.
Nice work and project! Will follow.
Good question, but no ๐
OS2 is a organization which coordinate software development for the participating municipalities and companies which sign up for delivering FOSS. I think OS2 stand for Open Source Software, but not sure.
