I completely removed myself from Amazon since a few years and I couldn’t be happier. Everyone should do this.

This from the people who elected a notorious pedophile, “thinking” that he would find the real pedophiles.

Sent you a DM.

Well, the good news for me personally is that since a year, I’ve been getting off of the American tech stack, hosting in Europe, with .eu domains, using aliases for emails on my own email server, locking down my stuff, and erasing what there is from iCloud, Google, etc… Completely. I wrote a long basic how-to a month ago to help others, and have been meaning to update it more. I’ve also been migrating my startup company’s setup to do the same. It’s all done now and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I’ve also been encouraging others online and friends and family to do the same. I even have a few of them using my Nextcloud server nearly full time now.

So I am trying to help. 😃

Some of it is, I’m sure. But the reason I posted it was because it had a lot of detailed information which I hadn’t seen before. It was literally my first post on Lemmy today, other than comments. I hope I didn’t make a faux pas.

All of my domains are .eu and are hosted in Europe and are under European GDPR rights.

One reason to use Matrix on your own server.

As if I’m supposed to take them at their word?

Not bloody likely.

I use Pass since a few years. It has a wonderful package for Emacs, and great iOS apps with face ID for ease of use, and the DB can sync to your own private git server behind tailscale. If you have a server, I definitely suggest looking into it. You can check it out at https://www.passwordstore.org/
