it’s been a while, what have i done

for a while i’ve had my photos disconnected from the big G, and used nextcloud’s instant upload..

after switching to proton mail, i have been pulling information from my google calendar into nextcloud.. it has really taken on a life as a central repository

my contacts sync via card-dav to nextcloud

the only things i have left are youtube.. that’s hard to break away from.. but i use newpipe to view without ads, youtube-dl to snatch files

peer tube wil be a good alternative one day, but needs to hit critical mass. i might use it to publish my stuff, if i ever make videos.. especially since you can seed by torrent.

maps: damn near impossible to get rid of

on the android front

a good chunk of your default phone apps can be replaced by ones that are non-invasive

be sure to get them from F-Droid, they do the build on their end.. is that useful? maybe.. you can be sure that the source available version is the published version.

so, yeah
