Hi, you guys might know me from these three posts. After reading all of the comments, I've decided to purchase a Mini PC to host public instances of privacy-respecting services.
I'm here to bring some good news: I got it working perfectly! You can visit reallyaweso.me today and get a list of services that I'm hosting!
All services are deployed via Docker and proxied through Cloudflare. You might ask: "Why Cloudflare?". It's because I can't port forward things on my home network. It really sucks that I'm depending on Cloudflare to do the port forwarding for me, but it is what it is.
If you want me to host a specific service that you want, feel free to comment on this post!
I would really appreciate it if you guys could checkout some services that I'm hosting, as I don't know if everything went smoothly or not. Thank you guys so much for helping me on this journey!!
I redownloaded Snapchat today on my degoogled phone since my friends use it all the time now and I've also seen that it somehow got all of my contacts. Turns out that it uploaded my contacts to their cloud without me clearly telling that when I first signed up.
To check if your contacts are in cloud: Go to your profile > Open "Settings" by tapping the cogwheel > Under "Account Actions", select "Contact syncing" > Tap "See contacts shared with Snapchat". You can delete your contacts there too, I just did that. If you have an Android phone, I'd recommend you to patch your app with something like ReVanced to minimize data collection.
