Looks like #Pikapods has a new #Todoist alternative, #Vikunja. Have been wanting a self-hosted task manager for ages, might check it out.

Although I have moved a lot of my stuff off of Pikapods to my own VPS or home server, I still like being able to try things easily via Pikapods without the struggle of initial setup.

#PikaPods kannte ich noch gar nicht. Sehr interessantes Konzept, dass man dort Anwendungen Container-weise betreiben und bezahlen kann. Weiß aber nicht, ob ich einem Service auf Malta meine Daten anvertrauen würde, auch wenn es bei Hetzner in Deutschland und Finnland gehostet sein soll...

The US is reportedly directing diplomats to fight data sovereignty initiatives globally. This highlights the friction between centralized Big Tech interests and the push for local data control.

Using open-source apps is a direct way to exercise your right to data sovereignty. You choose where your data lives.

@irkan I'm on my way to more #SelfHosting (#synology , tried a bit of #hetzner #VPS , ...), I just discovered #PikaPods and I am stunned. Zero config on your side, works smoothly, prices are reasonable... I recopmznd that road unless you really wish to minimize long term costs or want to get your hands dirty 😉

I don't know if it's a #selfhosting #IT topic or a #psy #OCD #burnout topic.
I don't know if it's a call for help or if I just need to dump this here.

First, I'm very glad that I could totally leave the #GAFAMs! Yes, they make your digital life apparently easier, but the price to pay is IMHO far, far too high. I despise them!

My #selfhost setup is driving me nuts: #VPN, online services, I can't decide if I'm happy with my #Synology #NAS hosting (backed up on SYnology C2), if I need a #VPS (my attempts showed that maintenance is high) or an assisted hosting service (like #PikaPods which sounds great). Availability of online services would be higher.
