Abstract
I have been avoiding google services for a long time. It's painful. It's work. It's not convenient. It's not for the lighthearted or something I'd recommend to anybody without a keen interest.
So why do I do it?
What do we gain?
Is it possible to own your digital life completely? Is it realistic or even desirable?
What do I do? (mail server, file server, grapheneos, etc etc).
What compromises do I have?
What compromises will I do? (currently re-thinking email)
