Google maps the best alt is OSM (open street map) but personally I think it’s not quite there yet direction wise.

Shazam is easy tho, Mousai is the shit

If your main use case is photos

https://github.com/LibrePhotos/librephotos

So basically have a lot of storage ready?

Right now just ext4 because I’m just hosting a minecraft server and a website that’s not even up right now. I’m thinking about btrfs when I build my next system. Transparent file compression and sub-volumes looks appetizing

I usually just have a swap of like 4 or 8 gigs on disk and use ZRAM as well. I set the priority so it uses ZRAM first and if that fills up then it’ll use the swap partition. I don’t think it has ever used the swap partition tho

Been checking out matrix clients and so far Cinny looks and feels closer to discord and fluffychat is pretty good to. Both work better then element in my experience

Alright buddy you got me I used the wrong term. I meant service

Is self hosting Matrix really that hard? So far it looks like matrix is what I want. They don’t have good voice features right now but it looks like they are working on it

I like Matrix for text but voice calls aren’t the best
