    Can we apply some of both of those to narrow down to a few recommendations? 😁

        The services of your local library. Sign up and use them, and get your friends & family on too because the more regular users and the more people aware of their services, the harder they are for politicians to take away or slash the budget of.

        Common services offered:

        • Kanopy, hoopla (free TV shows and movies, similar to Netflix)
        • Local/national newspapers digital versions
        • PressReader for various (usually subscription-only) magazines
        • ebooks and audiobooks via OverDrive/Libby, BorrowBox, hoopla, etc.
        • Educational resources like language learning apps

        I tried this a few days ago, but Overdrive only had 2 'copies' of the 30+ year old novel I wanted and the waitlist was 10 weeks so I added another "Fuck capitalism for..." to my list.

          Harvard just released a free civics course. I've been looking into starting that.

            Not really „free“ but „mostly free“: Each week you can get a different game from the Epic game store

                  Linux, torrents, youtube (if you use a account-less frontend), Wikipedia.

                    Is anyone aware of a third-party service for tracking YouTube watch history across devices? That's the missing piece keeping me from switching

                      Not everyone likes the way these images are built, but the liinuxserver.io containers are so easy to use. You can replace so many cloud services using these, I've replaced:

                      • All streaming platforms
                      • Google drive
                      • Google photos
                      • Every note app
                      • The library (sorta, I just host an ebook server for manga that won't fit on my reader)
                      • Grocery lists
                      • Exercise tracking apps

                      Plus I've setup some awesome new stuff like a website for one of my collectives and a few things to automate server maintenance.

                      You need somewhere to host your services (I'm using an old PC) and a little linux experience, but it's absolutely worth giving it a crack. I might work in the industry but I learnt more making my little server than I ever did on the job.
