Garmin GPS appliance. I refuse to use Google anything, and the other options do not work on GrapheneOS when interfacing with my car. So I bit the bullet and got a Garmin

Always remember that biometrics can be compelled by the court in the US, but a password cannot.

Only two kinds of people believe in infinite growth; economists and psychopaths.

But you repeat yourself :)

Some of that stuff just doesn’t exist now without Google.

I disagree. EVERYTHING Google offers has some sort of alternative. Will it take more effort? Sure. But I have been Google free for over 2 years now and I have not once been unable to do anything because Google has some imagined exclusivity.

Start here for apps
CalyxOS
GrapheneOS

And for the diehard there’s the Fairphone

Why I deleted GrapheneOS

Something to consider

What’s the difference between a docker and just installing an app on rented server space?

Functionally? Not much. But people who selfhost typically want everything on computers they own. Whether it’s for learning purposes, or to not have their stuff on “someone else’s computer” selfhosting usually means you’re running software on computers you own, almost always within your own house.

Does each dock (?) have its own server? (Apache or nginx or whatever?)

Each docker image usually has a web server built in. The philosophy of docker is that it contains everything needed to run the app. Even a small linux OS (LibELEC or Alpine are favorites for docker images). So while you’re not managing the web server in a docker image each docker image will have its own web server if web access is needed

Does each dock host a whole site, or do you have a dock for your database and a dock for your web app?

Docker the program is what runs all the docker images on a computer. Each docker image is built as per the software’s developer. Some docker images will have a web app and a database combined into a single image, while others will expect a separate database server running independent of the image (It won’t care if the database server is a docker image or not; just that it has access)

“Why, just today the notably left-wing Supreme Court upheld speech restrictions on speech encouraging immigration.”

That’s a lie. From the article:

The Supreme Court on Friday upheld a provision of federal law that prohibits the encouragement of illegal immigration for financial gain, ruling against a man who ran an organization falsely claiming that noncitizens could obtain citizenship in the US through adult adoption.

Wonder why you left that part out.

It’s one way companies cancel leases and may be the best way to break a lease depending on how it’s written. Then they get evicted and the lease is cancelled.

Look at San Francisco and all the companies just walking away from buildings while stopping any payments to said leases and loans. It’s not that uncommon.
