FOSS enthusiast living in Canada.
I’ve tried this out a bit recently, it runs really well but I can’t figure out why it exists. I don’t really understood the appeal of “everything apps”.
Delta Chat is still really good though, I definitely recommend people check it out.

Aurora is a full replacement for the play store. I’ve been using fdroid as my only source for apps for years now. It has everything I need.
Syncthing will also work with Nextcloud.
Liberapay, 12$/year to any open source project I use. It isn’t much, but its what I can afford.

raid1 + data duplication
Photos, videos, music, documents, etc… are available on multiple devices using SyncThing.
For 24$/year porkbun has been really easy!
Lutris is great, does that count?
Gandi was recently purchased, and and is slowly going down the drain. I moved all my domains and emails to porkbun.
$20/mo?! When free alternatives exist, why would anybody do this?
I use Let’s Encrypt on my domains, but they’re domains that my afraid.org subdomains point to.
I’ve been using freedns.afraid.org for about a year now.
I use old thinkcentre machines, they’re cheap and are powerful enough for decent servers. I have them loaded with 16gb of RAM and 2x265gb NVME each for mirroring. They work wonderfully.
