If you're still stuck on #Google drive, or #Microsoft #onedrive, or even #Apple iCloud, it's time to put your files somewhere more private.

Here are a bunch of alternatives that are all better than these privacy invasive services: self hostable options, cloud options, affordable ones, cloud-less ones, with tons of storage... There's something for everyone in there!

Replace Google Drive, OneDrive or iCloud with these better alternatives!

YouTube
@thelinuxEXP Thank you, I'll watch it on peertube!
(It is beutiful to have yor video officially there 😎)

@matteo

The video is also available on #Peertube? Great! Where? Why not post that link instead of the #Youtube link?

Just in case - you can watch the YT video without YT getting to know anything about you by using #Piped, here the direct link to the video:

Piped

An alternative privacy-friendly YouTube frontend which is efficient by design.

@Voka @matteo I post the YT link because the Peertube videos sync off of YouTube, so they’re not yet live when I publish on YouTube ;)

And also, making content is my job, and Peertube doesn’t generate any revenue for me, unless people support me in another way, so for now, I have to post the “profitable” link 😓

@thelinuxEXP I understand. I'm thinking how could open source / free alternatives face this problem without joining the ads-way. I'm not sure that donations would be sufficient. I'm convinced, as a community we should think together to find a solution.

@matteo Donations would be sufficient to replace ad based models, but probably not sponsors, unfortunately


For me at least, someone donating 1€ per month is worth more than 300 to 500 ad enabled views on YouTube. Sponsors, though, pay much better than ads, and they would be hard to match with donations.

If I relied solely on user funding right now, after 5 years of YouTube, I unfortunately couldn’t do this as a job (granted, I don’t push my Patreon all that much)

@thelinuxEXP maybe, then, donations together with sponsorships in the videos (that are, I think, more appreciable and delicate then ads) could be a good solution for the fediverse.
@matteo Yeah, probably, but only publishing to fediverse platforms wouldn’t cut it for sponsors. In only get a few hundreds of views on Peertube, no sponsor that I currently have would pay for that amount, so until the viewership grows, it’s not an alternative yet!
