    I spent the day getting things set up to leave.

    Pass went to KeePass, which was easier than I expected.

    Drive is now replaced with Filen.io

    Standard Notes is now Obsidian

    Looking at AirVPN, but not ready to pull the trigger on that yet.

    Still looking for a calendar. Thunderbird has one but it’s not on mobile for some reason.

    The big one is mail. I was the same as you migrating from gmail so I’m learning my lesson now. Set up Thundermail today and have 3 custom domains set up. Spent hours today swapping out account emails. It’s rough, but I did it to myself. I knew going full Proton ecosystem was a bad idea, but at the time I just wanted out of Google. Take your time.

      Problem is that any vpn not in switzerland is basically an explict step down. Trusting a company that is in a country that has no enforcement means your trusting the company it self entirely to stay honest. At least with proton, no matter what the idiots at the top want. They still have to comply with their local laws.

      That alone keeps proton above airVPN if your using a VPN for privacy reasons. It always will, no matter what. The entire country would have to change its laws for that to change.

      Now if your just using a VPN for routing purposes or something that security is not a high piro. Then air VPN is fantastic.

        Thanks, I’ll give it a look. Self hosting is a huge learning curve for me, I hate network stuff lol.
