SorryImLate

A different google account in the private space.

My grandfather on my mom’s side owned a farm. My mom was a teacher with a lot more time off than my dad, so pretty much every school holiday we would stay with my grandfather for a while. There was no real structure, just go play outside, stay on the farm, be back for dinner, and let an adult know if you were going to walk to the neighbours (through the fields, nowhere near a road).

Oh, and don’t eat the mullberries! I always came back with purple stains everywhere, claiming I didn’t have any mulberries lol

There was a dam to go swimming, dogs and chickens in the yard, pigs, cows, maize fields, luzern fields, and what felt like endless long sunny days.

I don’t think it’s possible to relive that feeling of utter freedom as an adult, plus my grandfather passed away and the farm was sold decades ago now. Some things are better kept as memories, I think.

Currently everything in owner, with banking apps in my private space.

I was tempted by the idea of owner as an app repo but the private space is only available in the owner profile.

Someone else in this thread mentioned they were using another device for their app repo and sideloading from there. That’s an intriguing idea for keeping even sandboxed Google off my owner profile. An idea for the future maybe.

There are a couple of apps that work just for ticket files (.pkpass). I’m currently using FOSS wallet. Catima works too but I didn’t love the layout.

I’ve been following this community for a while now and have not yet found the courage to selfhost anything.

I find the answers generally either assume a lot of knowledge, or throw out a single solution provider (synology, nextcloud, yunohost). Neither of these approaches helps me advance the big picture overview that I’m lacking, or a way of evaluating what the best setup is for me. I’ve started drafting an overview document for myself with the vague idea of asking for feedback here but I’m not sure such a request would be welcome.

So, yes, I would be interested in a solution that makes self-hosting more accessible.

Depends on the user. For example, the developed world has a rapidly aging population. Many elderly people primarily need support for long distances or uneven surfaces. Stairs also become treacherous as hips and knees age. I can see a potential market for a device that can extend their independence and is less bulky and unwieldy than a wheelchair or a scooter.

Also, if the concept works well, I see no reason that they can’t add alternative seat designs. As I understand it, getting stable walking is generally a robotic challenge. Presumably easier to start with a simpler chair and then build on that.

Direct war with Russia would be far worse for the German population. It is much cheaper to fight a proxy war via Ukraine and try to avoid war themselves.

Also, they are ramping up their own defense capabilities so a lot of this money will presumably flow back to German companies, and therefore German jobs.
