I use iOS as my daily driver, I have 3 different pi’s on my LAN to act as 2 piholes and 1 CUPS machine. I know I could have used one of my piholes to also work as the CUPS machine but when the pi5 was released it came with PCIe expansion so I could use a MVNe drive on them instead of my failing SD cards. Having a pihole setup on your network (don’t need two I just have one as a backup DNS server) is another way to stick it to the US, very little ad revenue is coming from me!
I left google, minus youtube, several years ago changing to iCloud+ the process of changing emails and figuring out what subscriptions I needed and which ones were just junk took months. So with my adoption of moving almost everything to Apple’s hide my email I had 150+ email addresses all being forwarded to my iCloud address over the years many were cancelled and deleted and what have you but it was done. So after all my data was moved to a virtual disk on my new host I started working on trying to install bitwarden to host my passwords, last night (early this morning whose to say) I was having so much difficulty trying to get it to install so I sheepishly signed up to an annual plan to 1Password and have been moving to it as I change email addresses.
The only online service I continue to pay for that is from the US is ChatGPT, only because it helps me proof read and format letters I send to politicians (It really helps me from calling them all “dumb fucks” or other words). Just to be clear I do not use ChatGPT to write these letters I do that myself. I have an old Mac Pro sitting in my office collecting dust; I have been thinking of booting it up and installing Linux on it, probably Debian because that is what my pi’s use, and installing ollama on it to replace the need for a ChatGPT account. My pi’s can handle helping me with my letters when I have ollama and a small model running on them but it is painfully slow and has difficulties helping me not curse out the Sask Party.
I have tried moving from the default apple apps but it is hard on my iPad and iPhone. Maybe once I am free of the iCloud+ stuff I will take another look at it. I have also been wanting to move away from my AppleTV hardware, I have all the hardware and I can get the (FOSS) things to do it but I just have not yet. One thing stopping me from moving away from actually cutting ties with the AppleTV is my smart home, as I write this I realize HomeAssistant is a thing that I can install on one or more of my pi’s. Yes more projects to take on to de-US-ify my home!
