Stuff I Use
Below I list a number of services and softare that I actively use.
I am spending time trying to decentralise things as much as possible (some people may call this de-Googling). Whilst I do have privacy concerns around "big tech" and the concept of "using the same company for mail and search", I also worry a little about the "all of the eggs in one basket" issue - especially when you hear horror stories about people losing access to important accounts (containing photos, mail, documents, and more) with no explanation given by the provder.
I am always interested to hear about new ways of doing things, so get in touch with me on Mastodon (I'm @wilw@fosstodon.org) if you have any suggestions! Where possible I prefer open source options, but sometimes my time is more important).
