I recently moved Gmail, Google Docs and Sheets, Google Keep (tasks) and Drive to Mailbox.org. It's super affordable and works really well. You can edit docs/sheets online or offline. No self-hosting required. I recommend it. It's located in Germany.

Correction: The discs are not soft. They are hard and can be sharp-edged as well. Keeping throws away from walking and bike paths is super critical.

Be careful, because there is a limit.

"By your performance, we mutally agree". "It is now effective due to their performance."

Is "performance" some kind of magic word? On the surface, and also under the surface, this doesn't make any sense.

I've been doing research into this because I want to degoogle. Looking for hosted and secure Mail, Calendar, Drive... maybe docs if possible. I don't mind paying as long as I'm a customer and not a product to be sold.

My short list was: Mailbox.org, Zoho, and Notion.

Then there are the services I don't understand as much because I don't really want to self host or step into server maintenance... NextCloud, OwnCloud, LibreCloud, OnlyOffice. Maybe someone could straighten me out with those if I'm off base.

Didn't we finally realize that the whole "shoplifting epidemic" was all bullshit to cover up inept corprate management?

Yes. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/29/briefing/shoplifting-data.html

Shit, I was literally about to open a Proton account as part of my degoogling this weekend.

Ok, new plan. Sigh.

my concern is that I install a distro this year and want to switch to SteamOS later, but would have to start over with customizations, etc. in the new distro.

I wouldn't sweat that at all.

I switched distros last week, didn't like the new one as much as I thought I would, and switched again a few days later. It's not that big of a deal. Install some apps, reload your files from a USB stick. It's not a major commitment.

My first thought: If this ever ships, I'll eat an outboard motor.

Driving in Manhattan is for truck deliveries and taxis only.

If you try to drive a car from point to point in Manhattan, you're an asshole.

Without wires you have no permanent power. Also, it sounds like you want it to be wireless transmission without a network. That's a challenge.

Lets Ignore the "no cables" part then. If you want this to be cheap, highly reliable, and non-networked... use wires. You can't go wrong.

You can get 4 camera systems with local storage from companies like Lorex for a reasonable price for good quality. I got mine at CostCo for $299. It might support cloud storage (maybe?) but I never enabled it. It just records locally. It's been running for years with no downtime or issues and the cameras still look great.
