I’m also trying to leave google. I could not find a good alternative for google photos (with notifications what happened x years ago)

You can look into Immich and photoprism. Two nice projects for photos and videos

Is it open source and E2EE?

Open source yes, but E2EE you would need to check their github/website for yourself. I am not sure

Did you set email alias for masking your email address?

It depends which service/website I use. But sometimes I, indeed, use email aliasing with simpleLogin

Been on the same journey - it’s slow slog but deleting 10’s of thousands of archived Gmail (for a decade) was very satisfying - I shudder at the data that must have been collected.

Added Mullvad VPN to mix as well - paid with bitcoin an loaded onto the phone and desktop.

Nice to see that. Keep it going 🫑
