It doesn’t really bother me tbh.
KDE’s Discover app pulls from the distro package manager, snap, and flat hub. AppImages to me are like “portable” executables and don’t really need an app store. However you can use Gear Lever to update them.
I know this will usually draw the ire of more experienced users (yes I use Arch btw) but if you really want an install that is as hands-off and foolproof as possible you are generally gonna be better off with an Ubuntu distro.
I put Kubuntu on PCs for beginners/noobs because it gives them access to more advanced options if they need them in the future while also typically being fully functional out of the box.
Ubuntu distros typically have extensive hardware support and a lot of testing. Yeah it’s not going to be the most cutting-edge but you don’t want that, you want it to “just work”
I like LibreOffice but if your goal is MS Office compatibility you are better off trying OnlyOffice
I came across this issue on my own discord server, the system kinda encourages you towards those higher security levels without really being especially clear about what it will do to the user experience.
One thing I would clear up though:
I think both sides in the OP are correct here.
Yes, the server admin sets the security level that triggers those requirements.
But it’s also true that the server/admins do not get your phone number, that private information is only kept within discord’s verification system. It is not sent to the server admins.
“Several cases?” Lol
Virtually every bill that passes in Congress contains riders and typically only passes because of those riders.
Most of these I use at least regularly, quite a few I use constantly.
I can’t imagine living without Searxng, VaultWarden, Immich, JellyFin, and CryptPad.
I also wouldn’t want to go back to using the free ad-supported services out there for things like memos, kutt, and lenpaste.
Also librechat I think is underappreciated. Even just using it for GPT with an api key is infinitely better for your privacy than using the free chatgpt service that collects/owns all your data.
But it’s also great for using gpt4 to generate an image prompt, sending it through a prompt refiner, and then sending it to Stable Diffusion to generate an image, all via a single self-hosted interface.
Yes and she was eventually detained when her batteries ran out.
At which point the police were forced to charge her
I’m going to file a DMCA against your comment
I had a similar history to you.
I finally decided a couple months back to start de-googling and did the following so far:
Only progress I made is switching to iOS from Android. Installed Ff on mobile, but didn’t really like the experience, so not really using it.
Well if you switched to iOS then there’s not really much point as the browser backend is still the same as Safari there. Apple doesn’t allow other browser engines so on iOS Firefox/Chrome/etc are all just wrappers on Apple’s browser engine.
Apple is worse than Google in many ways and if you wanted to maintain control over your privacy (and even just de-google) you ironically would be better off staying on Android.
There are many great custom firmwares available for Android devices such as GrapheneOS which can truly de-google your device.
But is that really winning?
I think we need to bring back the global “it’s ok to punch Nazis” rule
I use Kopia on both Linux and Windows.
It’s really fast and has a lot of great features.
And it’s FOSS
Respond to the battery level and if a device goes offline

Can’t remember the name at the moment but I had a HACS plugin that would pick up at the power level/battery sensors and warn you when they were below a threshold or offline for a specified amount of time
There’s also a self-hosted LiveSync plugin in obsidian, uses CouchDB IIRC
Hey I don’t really have a solution for you, but if you are still stuck on this, give tailscale a try.
I used to have a manually-configured WireGuard server too, and had a lot of the same issues you are.
Now I just use tailscale to manage that (it’s still a WireGuard backend just like you are looking for) and I actually have my Pihole configured as the DNS host for my local network and my Tailnet so it’s used by all of my devices even remotely.
So the same outcome you are looking for but with a slightly different path to get there
Easiest way if it’s only for yourself is using tailscale
Woooooo!
