Please note I said "wish", not "plan". Congratulations, this conversation is now all speculative conjecture and it's legal to talk about.

I have transitioned to GrapheneOS and a Linux distro as my primary OS. Stopped my cloud services and host on my NAS with old ass drives with a lazy man's 3-2-1 backup. If I wanna do something sketchy, imma use Mullvad.

More than that... but I wanna hear from you guys!

The best place to start is the bottom, knowing that you know nothing. That lets you approach it with humility and openness.

I would recommend playing around with things in a virtual machine or getting some old hardware up and running using something super automatic like CasaOS and then getting a few wins out of that. Running on real hardware is good if you can just leave it running and have some basic services you can set up and play with. I would recommend getting Nextcloud up and running as a good start. Have fun!

A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc

I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:

  1. Be civil and act in good faith.
  2. No trolling.
