Everything about privacy (the confidentiality pillar of security) -- but not restricted to infosec. Offline privacy is also relevant here.

Host your own stuff. Do it with open source software. If a way to do that doesn't exist yet for you, then make a way so it can happen for you and for others. You want to do something about big tech and big government? Start with you, and then show the next person how to do it, too.

@vwbusguy@mastodon.online Question: if I wanted to use an alternative to Google Docs, what would you suggest?

I need the ability to share and collaborate on documents, image files, etc. as well as organizing them in folders. If it requires someone to self-host I think we can figure it out.

@MisuseCase@twit.social Definitely @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz with @CollaboraOffice@mastodon.social. All the professional talks I gave this year used this combo and it was how we also distributed slides to participants.

@MisuseCase@twit.social @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz @CollaboraOffice@mastodon.social It's essentially multi-user collaborative LibreOffice in the browser. It is LibreOffice under the hood in Collabora so you can also edit locally in LibreOffice as well and sync with the nextcloud client, in case you don't have a current network connection. Nextcloud handles the user, file management, and integrations side of things and the two integrate together nicely as well. The mobile apps, etc. also work between them.
