Frankly, even though they are not European, I would go ghost.org instead of Nazi supporter Substack. As a bonus, they are cheaper and Fediverse integrated too.

What about Webador: https://slashdot.org/software/comparison/Substack-vs-Webador-vs-WordPress/
I had no idea substack was European.
I dont think they are: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substack
Jesus… I didn’t know people live like that. Cloud sever is like 5 euros/month. Self host ownCloud, bitwarden and you have half of that covered. Proton makes sense here but the first setup is insane.
Self hosting is not for average Joe. Even for skilled people is quite some work and maintenance.
Of course but this guy is not an average Joe. Paying for AWS, cloud storage, todo list and password manager looks strange. But I’m glad he’s found the way :)
True. That’s what I pay on Hetzner for my VPS. Because I’m lazy I pay an extra for their NextCloud hosted solution. In the VPS, among other things, I have OnlyOffice, that integrates directly with NextCloud, solving my office needs.
That’s where I took the price from. Hetzner rules :)
One thing that always concern me about selfhosting is that you need to manage the app yourself, you need to deal with updates, security and the risks of exposing a service to the internet.
It is awesome to be able to do it, but if you neglect the maintenance, you may be in for a bad time.
Me too. I pay 7€/month for a VPS. I put Yunohost on it. That makes selfhosting really easy and low-maintenance. And that’s pretty much it, with stuff I rely on. Except from some separate email accounts. And I just skip all the AI stuff. That’s an extra $20 that doesn’t go to big tech, and ChatGPT and Grok are for “free” once I feel the urge to pose a question to AI.
People still use the privacy nightmare Grammarly? And even pay for the privilege?
Every marketing job I had used Grammarly. I don’t know why anybody would use it for personal use, unless they were a writer.
I wish there were an EU alternative to Kagi. All other search engines pale in comparison and I just can’t deal with ads any more. I can only hope that Proton are looking in to search
Have you already had a look at https://metager.de/?
I hadn’t heard of that. Thanks! I will take a look
No trial? Any way to test it before paying?
What are the advantages compared to searxng?
Startpage is a wonderful search engine imo
best thing is to just self host and have your own servers.
I’ll probably get accused of shilling, but I just saved about 50% of my hosting bill moving from Digital Ocean to Hostinger.
