im not sure the message has much power since none of major aggressors are catholics. or not practising catholics at least. why would they care what this guy is saying?

PikaPods: 1-click install, SaaS alternatives (based in Malta) (www.pikapods.com)
 

if youve ever been put off by the thoughts of having to install self-hosted web apps or manage a cloud VPS or a DIY server at home, then pikapods might be worth checking out

they make it very easy to get up and running. just sign up (they give you 5 euro free credit to get started), install the apps you want, then you will be charged a certain amount depending on how many apps youre using

theres about 90 apps to choose from but some notable ones would be Immich for photos, Joplin for note-taking, Blinko for something more like Google Keep or Pinterest, FreshRSS for managing RSS feeds, Wallabag for saving articles to read later, Navidrome for running your own music server, Nextcloud as an alternative to Google Drive or OneDrive

im running wallabag and freshRSS myself and theres not much to comment on really, they were both very straight forward to set up!

its been almost 20 years now that people have been using smartphones where touching the screen is the only way you can do anything. when you notice fingerprints on your phone's screen you just wipe them off. why would that suddenly be an issue when it comes to laptop screens?

Can you change your Linux distro in c/[email protected]

just in case you dont know, Distrosea lets you try various distros online which is handy just for getting a quick idea what the UI is like

for trying out different distros using the live USB method, Ventoy is a good option since it lets you have multiple ISO files on your USB drive at once, instead of having to reformat your USB each time
