I would suggest a baikal server: https://sabre.io/baikal/docker-install/ it's made from.the ones making radicle and sabre, one of the kost used open source caldav/carddav servers. Yes it can sync calendars too
don't use google. basically any engine is better. I would recommend using a searxng instance. Soi that nobody can ever enshittify it ever again
It's technically possible, but windows doesn't give you as the user tools to do so. If you donÄt want windos to have the ability to do so you could use full system encryption like: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system
first just messing around with it, then starting selfhosting and then i started to dualboot just for fun, and one day i by mistake nuked my windows installation, so now i'm a full time linux user
you can do anything without ever using a desktop environment
okay basically so many things sooo much better, first of all i can change any part of software of the os for any other one i like. I can fix my installation no matter how broken it is as long as the filse system is still intact.
definitely some alternative internet mesh routing standart, just imagine if every device with wifi or ethernet could just extend the network without relying on an isp, yeah they could still serve as a fast backbone, but they just wouldn't be needed and no disaster could really ever disrupt the whole internet again
honestly: activity pub, matrix, xmpp, markdown and soo many more probably. All of these would be able to solve our walled gardens problem, but the apps with a basically monopoly don't have much of an incentivw to implement them
2040 a hopeful and realistic Solarpunk movie about our future
I loved the Movie 2040 by Damon Gameau. It’s really hopeful and shows us it’s possible to have a better future, the most important message today. I especially also like the focus to be on kids, because those are the people that will be living in and shaping the future. So watch this movie, show it to your kids and anyone who could benefit from a little more hope and Ideas!!

Some interesting distributed networks (non-centrally controllable networks)
some projects/ideas i found in the last couple of years, that try to solve our current problem of the internet being a centralized structure that is controllable by big corporations or governments and not so easily usable with mesh technology or when not being connected for long amounts of time

But it's definitely possible to ship a virus embedded in a playable mkv file, but something else would have to extract it first, for it to do anything
if you really only played it and it didn't abuse some zero day in vlc (extremely unlikely), the there's basically zero chance you could have activated a virus.
If you need motivation for positive change, against despair:
If you think the world is going to shit and need some motivation: Watch This Movie: Tommorowland/A World Beyond (2015)
It inspires so so much to change the world even though you think it might not be possible.
trying to advocate for sustainability, social justice, privacy etc. via my local and federal school councils, which have (even if it is quite limited) political power. And running some workshops for folks wanting to move to open source software.
