I've been using linux on and off for 20 years and docker reignited my interest for running linux. There's plenty of good guides and free courses, if you need help finding one - let me know and I'll send you a YT playlist.
krash
I use gmail and my own domain with uninbox. The latter is a quite new FOSS email front/backend, but its still very new and lacks essential features.
If I'd make the switch, it would probably be to tutanota.
Briar, for communication during internet blackouts or when there is no connectivity at all.
Also check out the cover from "lillasyster". A Swedish hard rock band that reminds a bit of disturbed. Their umbrella cover is really solid - give it a listen!
As an ex social worker in Sweden (both as a case officer and treatment assistant), I can attest to the low pay, garbage benefits (if any) and extremely stressful work.
Will keep an eye on this, looks interesting!
Can vouch for kopia, excellent backup tool.
Got any guides on how to strip plasma down to the bare necessities? I have it on a machine with 4 GB RAM, but I don't know how to optimize it for such old hardware.
To be more concrete: security keys can communicate over USB or NFC. Just make sure it supports the protocol you want to use it for.
But there is also passkeys which is both software- and hardware based and is almost equally secure.
In Sweden most government provided services are accessible through a web browser, but you need "BankID" which requires Android. Which is kind of Linux, though not fully FOSS.
Have you tried a low-code database, such as nocodb? I tried satisfy my need for structures data that way and it works for simple usecases. There are formulas too, but they (like spreadsheets) require some knowledge to set up.
Swedish radio produces a lot of high quality podcasts. Public service at it's finest!
