  • ente

  • Project mention: Ask HN: What is your approach for managing personal digital assets? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-24

    I religiously use Google contacts. It's the simplest way to keep people contacts up to date on Android.

    I archive all important documents in specific folders by subject and date. This is backed up to back blaze with restic. https://restic.net/

    I use https://ente.io for pictures. I convinced my wife to use it, and she agreed to auto share her photos so I don't nag her for copies. It had simple import from Facebook and Google.

    I also keep extensive journals, which really helps to tie it all together. I can basically grep for hangouts, conversations, etc.

    I also separate work journal from personal, and have essentially a journal for each project. https://jodavaho.io/tags/bullet-journal.html for how.

    I religiously use Google calendar for all plans, you can easily search it for past events to get dates.

    I also use monicahq for some notes about things I should remember about people but the habit never stuck.

  • Shreddit

    Remove your comment history on Reddit as deleting an account does not do so.

  • Project mention: Reddit Fulfilled My Data Copy Request - What's the best script to use this to nuke? | /r/privacy | 2023-07-11

    Some scripts like https://github.com/x89/Shreddit look promising, and I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on it just once I make sure my whitelist IDs are good. However, it's probably not thorough enough to hit all my content. My reddit data has over 68,000 comments.

  • wholeaked

    a file-sharing tool that allows you to find the responsible person in case of a leakage

  • Easy-Virtual-Display

  • Hemmelig.app

    Keep your sensitive information out of chat logs, emails, and more with encrypted secrets.

  • Project mention: Web-app solution to store messages behind a password? | /r/selfhosted | 2023-07-10

    You might want a pastebin service. I currently host Hemmelig and MicroBin. Hemmelig has built-in encryption so you can easily share sentitive text on the server. But I find MicroBin more appealing to my needs(it can also act as a URL Redirector) but lacking password protection. Since you're not exposing the service to the open net, I think that animal-name URLs can act as simple key phrase and is easier for personal usage.

  • web-client

    Cryptee's web client source code for all platforms.

  • Project mention: Svelte Native: The Svelte Mobile Development Experience | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-29

    > The only major hurdle to this is Apple continuing to treat web apps as second class citizens on iOS

    If you add a site to iOS' homescreen it automatically becomes a PWA. The best example I found of a site fully leveraging this feature is Cryptee[0]. They talk about the PWA thing here: https://crypt.ee/download

  • Project mention: DOJ finally posted that “embarrassing” court doc Google wanted to hide | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-30

    * There are paid alternatives now, if you want to opt out of what allows them to offer search for "free" then go use those.*

    Paying for search won't change the fact that 75% of all web traffic contains Google trackers.
