5 Open Source Tools To Take Control Of Your Own Data
opensource.com, February 24th, 2023
Take your data out of the hands of proprietary corporations and into your own hands with open source solutions.
Back in the old days, there was no cloud. Everything was on your phone. Maybe you had a microSD card that you backed up everything on. Eventually, the SD card would stop working, and you lost everything unless you'd saved it on a writable CD or DVD or stored it on your PC. Self-hosting was tough in those days, and it was expensive. Software wasn't as accessible as it is now.
Today, it's common for phones not to have an SD card slot. The good news is that software is good enough that you can back up everything you own on a single Raspberry Pi, spare laptop, or mini-PC.
