The Cuban CDN. Basically sneakernet, just with USB instead of floppy disks.     #>


Google Activity Controls. I have pretty much everything paused which is nice (no idea if they really honor that or not but it's worth a try.)     #>


microG Project, a free-as-in-freedom re-implementation of Google’s proprietary Android user space apps and libraries. This is fantastic for those of us who want to be free of Google and still have a smart phone.     #>


sovereign, A set of Ansible playbooks to build and maintain your own private cloud: email, calendar, contacts, file sync, IRC bouncer, VPN, and more.     #>


StockDroids, A curated list of phones running (near-)stock Android.     #>


Fagor User Manuals. I have one of their pressure cookers (use it mostly for canning) and naturally I have no idea where the manual is so I was having trouble figuring out what pressure the two settings were at...     #>


Vaccuflex, an adapter for a shop vac to get into hard to reach places. I'm thinking I can adapt part of a pool noodle and some fuel line to achieve the same thing, but if you aren't a DIY'er this isn't the worst thing you could get.     #>


Switching to Ubuntu by System76 (they make Linux laptops and desktops). Decent guide for moving from Mac OS-X to Ubuntu.     #>


Raspberry Pi OwnCloud: Your Own Personal Cloud Storage. I have something similar except I'm using NextCloud (apparently most of the devs, including the lead, have moved from OwnCloud to NextCloud), and using my NAS as storage instead of just a thumbdrive plugged in. If you don't need massive amounts of storage though the thumbdrive is a solid choice.     #>
