After this post, here is how you can ACTUALLY do all of that with Emacs.

All of these Emacs extensions are basically text-based and more or less difficult to use. You WILL have the core functions of the Google stuff, but don't expect to have a good time.

Degoogling:

• Gmail -> mu4e ( https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/mu4e )
• Photos -> image-dired (built-in) ( https://lucidmanager.org/productivity/using-emacs-image-dired/ )
• Search -> any search engine in eww, maybe ddg-html ( https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/ )
• Chrome -> eww (built-in) ( https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/eww.html )
• Keep -> org (built-in), org-roam ( https://www.orgroam.com/ )
• Drive -> emacs-syncthing ( https://github.com/KeyWeeUsr/emacs-syncthing )
• Passwords -> pass (built-in)
• Auth -> totp.el, looks highly experimental ( https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/securely-generating-totp-tokens-emacs )
• Calendar -> org-agenda (built-in)
• Play Store -> MELPA (used in your config)
• no VPN -> mullvad.el, looks highly experimental ( https://github.com/benthamite/mullvad/blob/main/mullvad.el )
• ChatGPT -> ellama ( https://www.rahuljuliato.com/posts/ellama ); @j4k3@lemmy.world: gptel is better ( https://github.com/karthink/gptel )
• Maps -> osm.el ( https://github.com/minad/osm )

For all my Emacs users out there, am I missing something ? Do you have alternatives / more usable recommandations ?-

Hey! I have been using Ansible to deploy Dockers for a few services on my Raspberry Pi for a while now and it's working great, but I want to learn MOAR and I need help...

Recently, I've been considering migrating to bare metal K3S for a few reasons:

• To learn and actually practice K8S.
• To have redundancy and to try HA.
• My RPi are all already running on MicroOS, so it kind of make sense to me to try other SUSE stuff (?)
• Maybe eventually being able to manage my two separated servers locations with a neat k3s + Tailscale setup!

Here is my problem: I don't understand how things are supposed to be done. All the examples I find feel wrong. More specifically:

• Am I really supposed to have a collection of small yaml files for everything, that I use with kubectl apply -f ?? It feels wrong and way too "by hand"! Is there a more scripted way to do it? Should I stay with everything in Ansible ??
• I see little to no example on how to deploy the service containers I want (pihole, navidrome, etc.) to a cluster, unlike docker-compose examples that can be found everywhere. Am I looking for the wrong thing?
• Even official doc seems broken. Am I really supposed to run many helm commands (some of them how just fails) and try and get ssl certs just to have Rancher and its dashboard ?!

I feel that having a K3S + Traefik + Longhorn + Rancher on MicroOS should be straightforward, but it's really not.

It's very much a noob question, but I really want to understand what I am doing wrong. I'm really looking for advice and especially configuration examples that I could try to copy, use and modify!

Thanks in advance,

Cheers!
