The plan is to document the process of removing Google's services from day-to-day life: moving email, calendar, search, photos, and cloud storage to self-hosted or privacy-respecting alternatives.
13+
14+
Topics to cover:
15+
16+
- Why bother (and why it's harder than it sounds)
17+
- Email: Migrating away from Gmail
18+
- Search: life after Google Search
19+
- Photos: self-hosted alternatives
20+
- Calendar & contacts: CalDAV/CardDAV
21+
- DNS: blocking trackers at the network level

The plan is to walk through setting up NixOS as a daily-driver developer workstation: from installation to a fully declarative, reproducible system configuration.
13+
14+
Topics to cover:
15+
16+
- Why NixOS (and why it's worth the learning curve)
17+
- Partitioning and installation
18+
- The basics of `configuration.nix`
19+
- Home Manager for dotfiles and user-level packages
20+
- Flakes: pinning inputs and building reproducible environments
21+
- Sway / Wayland compositor setup
22+
- Lessons learned and rough edges
