It's better for sure, just from trying a couple (OpenDns, cloudflare, quad9) I really love the offering from nextDNS
It somewhat smashes together the features of pi-hole and opendns with the features like DoT or DoH as you get in cloudflare
This is a business opportunity to provide services at a minimal cost for people. Say 1$ per month per service. Email - 1$ Calendar - 1$ Document Collab - 1$ Each addon a calculated minimalist approach to each. I still recall what gmail was when it was invite only back in the early aughts. I would still utilize that gmail client. I do NOT need gmail as it is today. And I would certainly pay 1$ per month for that servi…

They're presumably concerned about FastMail being in/from Australia. The thing is, if you're concerned about a state agency, you have bigger issues. If all you're after is "I don't want to give Google my money", FastMail is pretty good - and to boot they're one of the few with a still working push notification certificate for Mac Mail.app users, I believe. Email is a lost cause. Just choose the one that sucks the lea…
> don't do important things on it. How do you accomplish that? In my experience every single service on the internet relies on email for account creation, password recovery and general identity verification. I'm not saying that's good, only that it's the current state of affairs.

“DDG” in the parent comment refers to DuckDuckGo, for example https://duckduckgo.com/?q=New+York%2C+United+States&t=iphone...
Yes I know what DuckDuckGo is. The comment also said: > Apple Maps is available on the web
Anyway it is the case that the only way to browse Apple Maps via the web (AFAICT) is via an integration like DDG: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-use-apple-maps-right-in...
So yeah saying it is available on the web feels a bit disingenuous, but it is, kind of, indirectly.
I've checked Linode. Why it's price is much lower than others like AWS, Azure or GCP? Because of some drawback?

I tried a lot of note taking apps and liked this one for its simplicity (just markdown) and cross platform support. Then just store sync it all either via boxcryptor or nextcloud.
Good recommendations. To minimize Youtube tracking, I use the fantastic `youtube-dl` to get the movie (or only audio) locally, then keep it or discard it as the case may be.
I wonder if youtube-dl really helps ? It doesn't change the IP, you can refuse/clear cookies in your browser, and for fingerprinting, isn't scraping via youtube-dl make you even more unique among other regular browser users ?

This is ultimately what I ended up doing, with one caveat: I have mailinabox running on a VPS in a local datacenter. If my ISP wasn’t so aggressive with sending mail, I would’ve just self hosted on my own computer. However, mailinabox also comes with nextcloud, and it works out of the box with exchange activesync, allowing me to basically mimic gmail’s syncing of calendar/contacts/etc. I made the switch about a year…
The fact you were able to register your lastname as a dotcom is incredibly fortunate, especially if that was a recent registration. Mine has been a marketing agency since 1995. I ran my own business email for a while in a DigitalOcean VPS, but it was a huge pain. I did it all by hand though, I should give mailinabox a try.
An extra degoogling Google Keep -> Joplin ( https://joplinapp.org/ ) I tried a lot of note taking apps and liked this one for its simplicity (just markdown) and cross platform support. Then just store sync it all either via boxcryptor or nextcloud.
