Immich is a better alternative to Google Photo
I recently made the jump. It's crazy how much effort goes into optimising Nextcloud it still remains the most demanding thing on your server and your sanity.
Hot take. Nextcloud is hot garbage. If you want file sync use Seafile. So so so so much faster and more resource efficient. For the rest of next cloud functionality just use a tool specific to that.
Nextcloud is still tied to the old php/fpm model. There are better approaches now days. Hell even owncloud is rewriting away from the php/fpm approach.
Or Syncthing, if you don't need virtual folders or selective sync it's so quick and lightweight.

I am just about to start experimenting with opencloud.eu. It is another developer revolt fork of Opencloud (this time their infinite scale project) so it is supposed to be a lightweight single binary that uses a real filesystem and no database at all. Lacks all the add ons of nextcloud, buy I am tired of maintaining it.
Anyone try it?
Yep, though I have a bug in my use case from a older version, and I still didn’t have the time to try the new stable version. I also translated the Docker compose for the project and extensions into .container files. In the newer version it seems they managed to remove a sidecar container.
So far, it runs on a VPS with a 4-core and 8GB of RAM. On a first run, after upgrading, it needed swap as the system started freezing and the OOM killer stopped the program, zram was enough in my case.
Besides the main container — and the sidecar — I used the Collabora container, LDAP for user management, Keycloak for auth, full Tika for OCR search — modified for my language — and Radicale. Mind you, most probably want the main container and the online office container, be it EuroOffice, Collabora or OnlyOffice.
Here is the memory usage and CPU usage on standby from podman stats:
NAME MEM USAGE / LIMIT CPU %
systemd-tika 175MB / 8.054GB 0.68%
caddy 43.35MB / 8.054GB 0.24%
systemd-ldap 67.08MB / 8.054GB 0.01%
radicale 2.425MB / 8.054GB 0.00%
syncthing 29.97MB / 8.054GB 0.21%
systemd-keycloak-postgres 41.12MB / 8.054GB 0.06%
systemd-keycloak 663.4MB / 8.054GB 0.75%
systemd-collabora 42.02MB / 8.054GB 0.27%
systemd-opencloud 883.4MB / 8.054GB 7.31%
systemd-collaboration 57.71MB / 8.054GB 0.31%
Awesome. Thank you for the detailed answer.

For me, I would personally make the adjustment:
chatgpt ---> NOTHING
I'd rather go my whole life with people ridiculing me for not using genAI then hand over my status as a person to any form of genAI.
Im fine with local only, but theres so many people that just vomit out exactly what claude says.

My only major change would be to remove Mullvad.
One of the founders has made major donations to far-right groups in Sweden. People have argues that it’s his money to donate, but if paying for Mullvad puts money into the pockets of a major donor to the far-right, I’d rather support an alternative provider.
I have had a very similar user experience with IVPN, and I have heard people suggest AirVPN as a similar alternative.
As someone else started it's worth noting that Mullvad themselves did not donate to anything. I understand people's argument that money to Mullvad goes to the founder and thus goes to the people they donate to and that was people's argument for Proton as well. So do what you will as it's everyone's personal preference.
That's why lists like these, while useful for those who are just looking into privacy, deGoogle, etc. to first learn of projects and services, are almost always lacking nuance without text or all the major alternatives where then people can choose based on their beliefs. 🙂
Note: I understand this is one person's list and not a general list but just stating my thoughts on the matter as a whole.

unfortunately every foss maps app I've tried has been subpar. all the ones based on open street maps can't even go to proper addresses, it takes you to the street and you just have to look around for it. at least here in the us. so far magic earth has been better but it still doesn't work with Public transit so I have to have a separate maps app in my private space anyways.
Organic Maps is doing the job for me

I'd rather use KeePassXC tbh. Local, cloud-free by default password manager.
What’s your stance on Mullvad’s founder donating significantly to a far right political party in Sweden? Feels contradictory to why I use a VPN in the first place.

Having never heard of it and only used the Aurora Store (recently without any issues), what does App Lounge have going for it?

It is a good list. Everyone will have their own personal preferences, but I think overall the list is good.
I'm not sure Lemmy belongs in this list. Isn't all the content posted here fully visible to anyone, anywhere?
Yeah social media on a privacy list is a bit odd. I think the point is a lemmy instance (probably) won't log your IP and report you to the feds for any cool flock activities you have going on (but don't quote me on that).
