The gradual move to lease/rent everything instead of owning it. That’s how they keep you consuming and spending money without actually owning anything.

Everyone’s always been telling me get netflix, get disney+ for the kids. So what, I can spend 100$+ a month for these services because one show I want is not on this platform?

Fuuuhuuuk this.

Arr is the way.

Also I’ve been a sysadmin for 10+ years and I just enjoy managing my own production environment for everything from e-mail to media serving.

Same as others, everything. I have an smtp rule that sends a copy of any PDF I receive to that other mailbox and adds it to paperless. I also bought a little Epson scanner to do mass scanning of all the paper documents I had.

It’s just super useful to tag invoices and whatnot as “taxes 2023” and when it’s time to send it to my fiduciary, I just have to search for that tag, download it all, zip it and send it over.

Just takes a little bit of discipline and a bit of time here and there to scan documents I received by regular mail and add them to paperless.

Probably one of the most underrated selfhosted app if you ask me in terms of making life easier.
