Are they being encouraged to move to mastodon?

I wouldn’t say OP is advocating for everyone to adopt their path, just for individuals who take that path yo not feel stigmatized.

I see two solutions to the issue presented. Issue one, proximity. I personally don’t hear or see the pressure to be in a relationship from ppl who aren’t. But family and friends who have a vested interest in the person, who also think relationship is the natural state will always worry.

The solution to proximity involves part of solution 2 whivh is marketing. There should be a concept of monoship which society has largely forgotten. We had terms for them but never classified as a group. We would call these ppl “hermits” or “spinsters”. In reality introducing this concept and say your are in a relationship, just one a healthy monoship with yourself

Im surprised Usenet doesn’t get mentioned more, except rare anime or shows Usenet has all the pros none of the headaches of torrents

Exactly… If you lose internet connection is just stays local until you reconnect.

Phone, browser, desktop…

Why not self host vaultwarden? I was using keepas for all of the reasons OP mentioned, but my woes went away when I migrated over.

Clean export from keepas and import into vauktwarden. Plus with passkeys being deployed, is there a reason against it?

Well, start with what you have, and let that guide your needs.

I started on my own windows xp machine. Before moving to a nas for image storage. Now, I have nextcloud running on a separate machine. With Arch documentation is very good where most services will be turn key. Especially if you don’t mind downtime. The best thing is get to know your setup. As that will be uniquely your setup, and let that guide your journey into madness 😄

I have reolink cameras and they were pretty plug n play.

HA picked up the reolinks once connected, but integration with frigate requires some setup. The frigate HA integration works very well.

Oh and for notifications to work well… Or how you expected to work. Having the mqtt server setup will help as well.

I have modoboa Running on a 8gb droplet for 20 a month. Hosting over 10 domains. No issues, smooth transition on upgrades.
