I have till 8 feb to extricate myself from google for email and storage.
-
I have a domain name.
I'm expecting to use fastmail for mail
then maybe try out object store with catalyst cloud.
I'll need to hone down to just the essentials for backups but that's fine.
i have a NAS for backups and a blu-ray 5 1/2 drive sitting here in box.immich has superceded google photos for me.
google doesn't support drive desktop app on linux so their sync fabric is no longer of use.
I'm wanting to disassociate from US based big tech. -

I'm wanting to disassociate from US based big tech.@pearofdoom made all the harder by them not allowing the complete removal of their "upload by default Photos app" (least on Apple devices). Can only "Remove from Home Screen"
They need to be forced to allow you to use another Photos app as the default.

@pearofdoom @alex I'm running almost this exact setup with Pi4s. Happy to discuss & learn from each other
@Phil_Tanner @pearofdoom @alex Pretty close to my set-up.
Although I use a Pi4 for it, because a 5 is overkill -

@alex @pearofdoom @Phil_Tanner I run them separately, but for no good reason.
I personally prefer Wireguard-UI or something like that for a WG setup, instead of PiVPN, but either way, it's not too complex, and a Pi4 can easily handle wg/pi-hole/nas on a single device. -
