One of the most underrated but great solutions for #repairability and #privacy in #entertainment devices is #kodi.📺
With Kodi you can use any old computer, raspberry pi or laptop to run your #smarttv completely private and independent from big tech.🖥️
It of course is #opensource and has hundreds if not thousands of addons (which are also open source).
It's a healthy alternative to #firetv and #appletv and to your native smarttv apps.

In over 20 years of using Linux, I have gathered quite a bit of freeware and open source software. I've put this together in a short list:
https://codeberg.org/Stoabrogga/docs/src/branch/root/free_software.md
It also contains a few things for Android and gaming.

Angenommen ich möchte weg von #Wordpress und hin zu einem #OpenSource CMS, das eine Import-Funktion für Wordpress-Beiträge hat sowie schneller, weniger anfällig für Malware-Angriffe, spezifisch gestaltbar, übersichtlich auch für sehr viele Beiträge ist und schöne, responsive Designs bietet. Was würdet ihr empfehlen? (Ich war früher bei #Hugo , aber vielleicht gibt es inzwischen Besseres/ Anderes.)
Danke!
