Our family has had its own google workspace for over a decade. A month ago I set a goal to have drive, photos, email, every-frickin-thing migrated to sovereign tech by the end of the year. Start9, syncthing, Borg and Rclone for multilevel/multisite backups.

Its a slog.

Its a big slog.

But if we don't do it the AI convenience trap will hook us deeper.
