For sure, definitely an interesting way to think of property taxes and how to encourage people to not have frivolous space.

For sure, a thorough study of what Canadians need would be helpful to something like this. Could inform what a good space to person ratio could be. Especially in Canada.

Maybe not no taxes, but less? Could be an interesting way to tackle low occupancy rates. If it’s possible to pay no taxes at all, it might cause people to sardine can a house to save on $.

There’s an idea I hadn’t thought of before. I wonder if there’s any studies out there about how much space a single person needs to be comfortable. And how that’d change base on how many others are in the same space. Could be interesting idea to tax people based on their space to people ratio 🤔

Checkout Toshy. This has been a life saver for me.

For sure. It’s good to know. But not a huge compromise considering we are talking about still using a flavour of Android and play services.

Ah. They have a lot thats open. And I believe if you run Headscale (and android and/or Linux clients), you can be fully open source.

I’ve just switched from an iPhone 12 Pro to Pixel 9 and am on GrapheneOS now. Aside from Signal chat history, everything switched over quite easily. Sandboxed google play services is simply an amazing feature. Rerouting location requests let’s me feel a certain level of trust when I use Google Maps now. There are a tonne of little quality of life features too that I don’t remember if base Android had back when I used it before; e.g. setting the default language for a specific application.

For using Immich without exposing it to the public, check out Tailscale. It’s a private VPN (wireguard) service (it’s partially opensource and provides paid tiers, but the free tier is all you’ll need; there’s an open source server called Headscale, if you need full open source) you can use on your home network that is dead simple to configure. You literally just login on you computer and your phone.
