I get my apps through Obtainium. I usually find the developers pages where they publish source code and the apk and then add them to Obtainium and install from there and let it manage the updates.

Most of the apps I use are also available on f-droid and some probably have play store versions as well.

I use FOSS apps for everything, I only have one special user profile with google play store for my stupid bank and credit card.

For everything else there are alternatives that don’t need google play.

Ok, I’ll extend your deadline til Monday then. ;)

Try Graphene today. IT WORKS

This is something the EU should really regulate, unfortunately they are busy regulating oat milk drink and veggieburgers.

FYI from the newest release notes for 10.11.0

Jellyfin now actively checks the available free space for its configuration and data directories. If you have less than 2GB of free space in each data directory, Jellyfin now refuses to start to prevent data corruption. Additionally, checks are implemented to prevent certain path misconfigurations that are known to cause issues.

I actually registered my unused landline for the signal rest api account a long time ago, been using that one for all kinds of automated notifications for over a year.

I’ve set up Uptime Kuma this weekend, monitoring everything from Docker containers, network devices (like IPcams, switches, printers, …), wireguard tunnels, etc etc. (I have 65 monitors set up so far) and a Signal rest api for notifications.

Furthermore, I integrated multiple new ESPHome switches into my Home Assistant setup for cable model reset, alarm system controller reset, etc.

Once I have Uptime Kuma finetuned I will automated som resets.

Uptime Kuma is amazing so far.

Shark Attacks are closely related to ice cream sales:

Pangolin is free for non commercial self-hosting purposes and used quite intensively in the Jellyfin community.

• Headscale is essentially a self-hosted, open-source alternative to Tailscale’s control server, enabling creation of a private WireGuard-based mesh VPN network. It lets you use Tailscale clients while running your own control server, focusing on secure device-to-device connections without exposing open ports. It requires a server with a public IP for the control server but does not natively manage reverse proxy or authentication for web services.

• Pangolin is a more complete self-hosted solution built on WireGuard and Traefik, combining VPN tunneling with a modular reverse proxy and authentication management. It provides centralized management with role-based access control, 2-factor authentication, automated SSL via Let’s Encrypt, and can expose multiple private networks or services through secure tunnels without needing to open firewall ports. It includes a web UI and plugins for security features like WAF, API, and OAuth2/OIDC identity providers.

You also don’t want to be tied to Tailscale, another US company.

Take a look at Pangolin instead.
