These projects use Caddy as my local development server, Dart Sass for converting my Sass files to CSS, elm, elm-format, elm-optimize-level-2, elm-review, elm-test (only in Calculator), ShellCheck to find bugs in my shell scripts, and Terser to mangle and compress JavaScript code.

Project mention: Blocky – a DNS proxy and ad-blocker for the local network | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-08Also AdGuardhome will use optimistic caching, which is great.

I think a single Google Analytics alternative is pretty hard to pick considering that GA can be used to very much varying extents.
For simple and "detailed enough" insights, I enjoyed using Plausible (https://plausible.io/) in the past.
For more in depth analytics that give you a detailed view into your own product, PostHog.com seems to be by far the best and most popular option out there.
Project mention: Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-06Not forgotten by any means but goaccess is nice and simple to use

It's indeed suspicious. You're sending your voice samples, your various services accounts, your location and more private data to some proprietary black box in some public cloud. Sorry, but this is a privacy nightmare. It should be open source and self-hosted like Mycroft (https://mycroft.ai) or Leon (https://getleon.ai) to be trustworthy.
https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install or if you want to be free from your distro's OpenSSL version: https://github.com/ix-ai/openvpn (recommended, just rebuild the container if it becomes outdated)
Project mention: Indian government moves to ban ProtonMail after bomb threat | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-15* https://github.com/pluja/awesome-privacy?tab=readme-ov-file#...
Project mention: Ask HN: How will I make Windows 10 collect less telemetry? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-17
Project mention: A Lawsuit Argues Meta Is Required by Law to Let You Control Your Own Feed | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-02The biggest reason I use FreeTube (https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube), is because it shows me uploads in chronological order from ALL of my channels, which youtube outright refuses to do.
Project mention: Dropbox: How to opt out of 3rd party AI partner access to your Dropbox | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-13the best way to do this is with https://cryptomator.org
Project mention: Gotify: A simple server for sending and receiving messages | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-12
Project mention: Mobile Ad Blocker Will No Longer Stop YouTube's Ads | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-16Don't use Youtube without going through a proxy like Invidious [1] or Newpipe
Don't use {site} Search without going through a proxy like SearxNG [2]
Don't use TwiXXer without going through a proxy like Nitter - this has gotten more difficult lately but it still works as long as you feed the daemon some registered accounts. Video does not work at the moment but that seems to be fixable.
Don't use Reddit without going through a proxy like libreddit [4]
Start noticing the pattern? Maybe it is time to start producing promotional posters:
The only thing to come between you and ADS could be a proxy / ADS. I'ts just not worth the risk
ADS / New rules for a sane net / Sane net protects you, your partner and your community
A proxy here and a filter there, ADS nowhere
The more you tighten your grip, ${site}, the more viewers will slip through your fingers

Incentives are much harder but smart contracts can handle the tech part.
Going this route eventually you quickly have "quantum AI app store" and your system of government is a 12GB download. Can't even say if it's a good idea compared to e.g. anarcho-primitivism.
