Our small business just bought a server and installed NextCloud on it. We're doing our part.
There's a killswitch scenario where a malicious US executive order shut off our civilization by banning Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon from serving Canada. Almost every business would be immediately hamstrung and the economy would collapse in a week. This is too fucking dangerous.
The US can't be trusted anymore(?). No world superpower can be.
I have moved all my things off of US servers, minus the community I belong to on Discord. I still have a Facebook account but it is just sitting there I haven’t gotten to hitting the kill switch yet. I am almost totally off of Google, I finally have searXNG working properly, I may do more fiddling to make it better but it is good. I have scripts that send me news from topics I am interested in, from Canadian sources, twice a day. It is nifty what I have done.
I've deleted my Facebook account. I was making it seem a lot worse than it was. It's more peaceful having it gone.
I just don’t use it, I turned off the email address and I haven’t installed the apps anywhere. I actually don’t know that I have the email address anymore, I was using Apple’s hide my email thing but than the boycott started and I started cutting back services. I went to the max with email though, got myself a domain and a service provider that could host unlimited emails and started changing my email on every thing so now I get next to no spam.
If I do get spam I decide if I really need the account and if it is a yes I create a new address and close the old one. Because I like seeing what else I can do, today I found out my vaultwarden has a leak/pwnd detector.
