Have you ever deleted a google account before? Any Experiences? What should one know about this? Do you trust them to really delete everything?

    Sadly, hoping for the best is the only viable option these days.

      Self host ALL the things. I know where all my pics and docs reside right here in my house.

        That is a fair statement. In today’s world, it’s the only truly safe option.

        However, it’s not always realistic for some people to do… for various reasons.

          Yeah, though with things like the fediverse, generations that where born into the tech world (internet only really started to be a thing around high school for me, but my kids have never used dial up) and small cheap systems like raspberry pi I expect it’ll get much easier and hopefully more common.

          Hard to say, things like Nextcloud, Immich, Emby, and Mealie probably get the most exercise, but being a tech person some of the more interesting are things like Security Onion and some of the infrastructure tools.
