    Working on retaking my online life through a combination of switching to self hosted solutions and Foss.

    So fucking sick and tired of this cloud shit and the constant erosion of privacy and control. I’ve had enough.

        Yeah it took a huge amount of effort so far, but I’m about 80% through. It helps that I have been using Linux and Foss in general in work and play (but rarely desktop) since the 90’s. I realize I won’t get to 100%, for example email is way too much hassle to self host for me personally. Protonmail has been a solid middle ground for me coming from Gmail. Some accounts I simply can’t change the email so those are going to stay forwarded for now.

        The biggest outlay so far was switching from Evernote to Joplin, as I had over 12 years of history (270 notebooks, 12,000 notes). It took me something like 4 full days of effort but feels glorious now that it’s done.
