Seconded for that. Parted Magic is so nice that when they went paid, I ponied up immediately, which is saying something from my cheap ass.

Honestly I’ve got like 7 different addresses spread across 3 different providers. Email isn’t important enough for me to worry too much about privacy and control. It’s mostly just a place to collect spam for me these days.

I did email for about a year. Sucked shit so I cut my losses and closed the thing down.

I think that’s what’s kept me at KeePass rather than moving to something like Bitwarden. Since it’s file-level encryption, anything that can serve files can also serve my KeePass database. When I upgrade servers or change to different services, restoring my database is as simple as throwing the file into that new service and going on with my life.

Nah that makes sense. Learn from the mistakes of early mastodon. Defederate only in extreme cases else you end up with a bunch of accts for no reason and it becomes unusable.
