The enshittification of services, e.g. chefkoch.de suddenly coming up with premium cooking receipts, and other sites moving this behind paywalls. Tandoor for the win.

Youtube and the ad war - metube, tubearchivist.

My son being hooked up by "Paw patrol", resulting in some big meltdowns and fights. Another win for tubearchivist.

ll the services which increase their prices (Spotify, Disynes, Netflix) - the arr collection and 60 TB storage on my NAS, with Jellyfin and tubearchivist.

Google becoming the most evil company - moved to Protonmail, with my own domain and my own email address.

Ads in general, but especially YT - ublock origin, AdGuard Home.

The simplicity of installing complex software thanks to docker, and the possibility to embed anything in the network thx to Ubound and Opnsense.

And so on.

I feel it is becoming more and more a battle against the internet, and not surfing/enjoying it. Everything monetized, all of them want you to drag you into subscribing to another service, adding up into hundreds of dollars/month cost, and after hooking you up, increase the prices.

I will give it a try. I don't like the fact of Portainer kidnapping my compose files. I want them plaintext on my drive, so I can backup them with regular tools.

Email, without facing all those problems of ending on a spam list and being blacklisted.

wireguard, traefik, portainer, Adguard Home, Miniflux (for reddit rss), paperless (document storage), pdf convert (pdf converter, pdf tools) and tandoor (cooking receipt db)
