I’m not sure. As long as it keeps working, I’ll probably keep using it until a viable alternative appears. I use my laptop more than my phone, so I don’t actually need passwords on my phone as often.

This one hurts… as I use this as my password manager on mobile :{

I think the WINE project was maintaining a fork of Mono that was used to support running certain Windows applications:

So in addition to translating traditional WIN32 system calls, WINE also supports .NET applications, which a number of Windows programs require.

The reasons for this shift in budget away from funding Free Software and the NGI initiative seems to be an allocation of more funds for AI, leaving internet infrastructure by the wayside. Meanwhile, the EC has thus far declined to comment to share its official reasoning for striking this funding from its budget.

Sigh. It appears that they are chasing after the latest “shiny” thing instead of investing in existing infrastructure. Not surprising, but disappointing.

Could be what communities you are subscribed to. I run a small instance with about 3ish users, and here are my stats after about 3 months as well:

9.5G ./pictrs
12G	 ./postgres
8.0K ./lemmy-ui

What version of lemmy are you using? A recent update also introduced some space savings in the database (I think).

No. I usually start over on a new device.

+1 AntennaPod. Been using it for almost a decade :]

Familiarity (my client distro is Pop and is based on Ubuntu), and I like the LTS life cycle (predictable).

I do uninstall snaps, though, and mostly just use Docker for things. I could use Debian, but again, for me it was about familiarity and support (a lot more Ubuntu specific documentation).

Do you have a searxng folder in the same folder as your docker-compose.yml? If so, perhaps it is not mounting inside the container properly.

No, but basically jmp.chat takes over your phone number… it acts as your carrier for voice and SMS (similar to Google Voice). Maybe not exactly what you want.

From the FAQ:

You can use JMP to communicate with your contacts without them changing anything on their end, just like with any other telephone provider. JMP works wherever you have an Internet connection. JMP can be used alongside, or instead of, a traditional wireless carrier subscription.

The benefit of this is that you can receive voice and text on anything that can serve as a XMPP client.

You could consider using something like jmp.chat. It delivers SMS via XMPP (aka jabber), so you could self-host a XMPP server and receive SMS that way. It also has some support for MMS (group chat, media), but my experience with it was mixed (I used it for about 3-4 years).

I have a similar setup (external USB drive that I periodically plugin to backup stuff), and I use rsnapshot which is based on the venerable rsync utility. It is a command line solution that I’ve used for many years and it allows you to do daily, weekly, or even monthly backups.

I also use rsnapshot for handling remote backups as well, so it is pretty versatile.

Also joined the club today :)
