Hi, hello there. Can we talk?
Yes, I’d love to! My suggestion is to schedule a call with me, it’s for free. This is probably the best way to understand what I can bring to the table, and how we can collaborate. Of course, my e-mail is always available as well if you so prefer.
What kind of services do you offer?
As the objective of this project is to free you from big tech, I will try (and probably be able) to help with anything that gets you closer to that goal. Examples include, but are not limited to:
- Running your own website, web store, and take control over your web presence
- Installing and configuring a GNU/Linux distribution on your computer
- Moving away from iOS and/or making your Android phone less dependent on Google
- Make you able to block ads at the network level (DNS sinkhole)
- Identifying which services you use that are offered outside of big tech companies
- Self-hosting a media server
- …and so much more!
Are these paid services?
Generally speaking, yes, I will charge an hourly rate for my help, somewhere in between 10 to 30€/h, mostly depending on the task at hand, where you’re from, and how much you’re capable of paying. While my time is valuable, I do believe that in general it’s more important to advance the purpose of this project than to make a lot of money from it.
OK, you’re hired! But what if problems arise?
I’m not going away. If you find that something is not quite working well, we can always talk about it and correct it - I might have made a mistake, or the solution I implemented wasn’t what you were looking for.
Are managed services available?
Yes, this is certainly possible. What this would entail is that I’d be responsible for the uptime of whatever system and software you choose to have, and provide you with prompt support and fixes whenever something goes awry. It’s the best solution if you’re not ready for the time investment that some of the solutions I provide imply.
