Do you have any guides on how to self host things by any chance? 🐇🕳️
Privacy-protecting alternatives:
iPhone -> Google Pixel
iOS -> GrapheneOS
iCloud Photos -> Ente
iCloud Drive -> Proton Drive
iCloud Mail -> Proton Mail
Passwords and Keychain -> Bitwarden or Proton Pass
Notes -> Standard Notes (Proton)
iCloud Calendar -> Proton Calendar
Do not use Google services as some are not end-to-end encrypted.
Self-host if you can and know what you’re doing.

Start9 and Umbrel are good starting points if you’re not super technical. You can buy their server hardware and it mostly works out of the box. They have guides on how to set everything up.
What I did was buy a cheap ThinkPad laptop off Amazon and installed Start9’s StartOS. It has the benefit of having an integrated screen, portability, and a battery if power goes out. This worked better for me as I live in an apartment and like being minimalist.
