Nexcloud on hosted

Hello, So I recently came across some posts using nextcloud. But the problem is that I don't want and have no idea how to host a nextcloud instance on my home. I saw several posts about hetzner nextcloud and it's pretty cheap, about 5€ for 1TB, what's the catch??? I've sent and email about encryptions and that and their answer was " Even if you do not encrypt the files on your Nextcloud instance we still cannot access the webinterface of your Nextcloud as we do not know the login credentials of your accounts. " .

My problem relays on privacy, I'm using cryptomator, but for photos is not good, since there is no miniatures.

​

Are you guys encrypting your photos etc?

​

Thanks and sorry for beying so bring in this subject.

Can you override/ flash an Alexa Echo dot?

I have not found anything so far but is there a way to delete the Alexa software on an Echo Dot and install Mycroft or something more privacy focused on it?
I tried to use mycroft on a Pi but had problems with the voice and audio.

How can I stop Facebook from adding text to links?

I want to copy the Facebook links; however, Facebook adds useless text to them.

Privacy Badger could clean the links, but uBlock Origin could not. However, due to the recommendations I uninstalled Privacy Badger and only stayed with uBO.

Is there a list that I can add to uBlock Origin for this purpose? Or do I just need to reinstall Privacy Badger?

I'm subscribed to the Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool and ClearURLs for uBo lists.

iPhone from employer

I'm about to receive an iPhone from my employer, which I can use as personal smartphone.

I was wondering, how safe will using it be, as in, what sorts of data can the employer finds out about me, and what are some precautions/ best practices I can do to prevent this?

Email/Domain separation strategy

I'm looking into buying a domain for my email communication because I could be able to not lose my addresses if I want to switch providers and to have better compartmentalization. I've started by setting my email use cases into four main categories:

1 - Family/Friends

2 - Government/Banking/Medical

3 - Work/Business

4 - Job hunting

But now I'm struggling to decide which could be the best approach. At the very least, I want my personal and work emails completely separated, so I first thought about just using two domains: One for personal (the first two categories) and another one for work (the last two).

But I'm not sure if that would provide enough compartmentalization, considering how these domains would become very public information due to my family and friends having very poor privacy and security practices, in the case of my personal domain, and having to put an email address in resumes/LinkedIn profile/job application forms in case of the work domain; And I'm not sure if all of that would be a problem considering that the domain used for the family/friends address would be the same used for government/banks/important stuff, and the domain used for the job hunting address would be the same used for the work address, so correlating them wouldn't be difficult. The best way to compartmentalize all of that of course would be to have a separate domain for each category, but I'm not sure if that would be overkill (and it would surely be expensive).

And I also started wondering if it would be fine to have the domains use the same name, but different TLDs, or if I should make them entirely different from one another, or if I should use my name for the personal domain. Should I even have just one static job hunting email for starters?

So, yeah... I think it's very evident that I'm kinda confused on what should I do. Do you have any suggestions?

Using Air-Gapped Mobile for Free-OTP

I'm thinking of formatting a mobile phone without any SIM card that was never connected to the internet and just use it for Free OTP for 2-FA, to improve my security

Does that make sense? Is there anything I'm missing here? Any other ideas to achieve this without this hassle?

TripMode 3 vs Little Snitch

Hi. I’m looking for an application that helps me block Mac apps from connecting to the internet (whether outgoing or incoming) As needed, especially when I’m using a hotspot. My search has led me to TripMode 3 and Little Snitch. So far Tripmode is winning after discovering that IDrive is connecting online even though I’m not logged in, something LIttle Snitch didn’t pick up.

Anyway, do you have a recommendation between those 2 apps? Or, do you have another app that does this that you prefer? It doesn’t have to be free if it works, happy to pay for this.
