I just set up my own sync server. It is dead simple with docker compose and pretty well described on their git page.

Getting my own auth server up and running was a bit more difficult, but it is absolutely doable. There a a few ppl who have made scripts to ease the task. You can find them on github.

Want privacy? Don’t play games with internet requirements. It’s that easy. All of the other games are sucking whatever info they can get their hands on. It is not about anticheat - it is about money and data=money

I would never trust telegram. The company behind it is mostly Russian scammers. I would use the opensource alternative to signal called Molly

Selfhosted mail-in-a-box solution. Easy to maintain and configure.

• It just works

But that just won’t solve their privacy issues. The apple eco system is not privacy friendly at all, so why act like it is and let people continue to do stupid thing when they want privacy?

It’s Kubultu with drivers and a wallpaper.

Just leave the apple anti privacy ecosystem.

Joplin is great an encrypts everything (if you want). You can host the synced notes yourself and you can install a web frontend if you’re into such a thing. I use it on mobile, windows and Linux where it works great

Do you have link to molly?

From a privacy perspective: no

From a fairness and repairability perspective: yes

If Cron is too hard for you (it is really easy so I don’t really understand your problems) then check out runat instead. Simple and easy to use with all the features I would suspect you use in cron

I would go selfhosted and use a mai-in-a-box solution. Easy to setup, handles all the spam DNS settings etc and if you put it on an ip segment that is generally spammer-free, then you should have a fantastic solution (I habe used it myself for many years).
