Not saying it's impossible, but you're talking about ditching a lot of services. Realistically, there aren't good alternatives to YouTube and some other services. I know people will try to pitch fediverse alternatives. While promising, the problem is that the historical content that is really useful just isn't there. Additionally, it fails in comparison in terms the amount of content offered. It sucks to see Google bend the knee so easily. permalink fedilink source parent [+] orcrist@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago* (1 child) It's usually included in any email setup. I think most paid email providers also include calendar, contacts, etc. I know Proton does, but I also know their CEO is praising the 4th Reich, so I dunno. You can also self host something. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago (2 children) Self hosting email is a dead end, you'll spend half your free time trying to get your domain not marked as spam by every other email service provider. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] otacon239@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (1 child) The other half of your time will be spent filtering through spam permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] tate@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago Filtering spam is a long solved problem and completely trivial. I receive no spam on my self hosted email, and I spend no time at all working on that. My old unused gmail account however.... I recently logged in after more than a year. The spam folder had about 40 emails in it, and the inbox had more than 8000, all of which were spam. Google over self hosting is not a solution to spam. permalink fedilink source parent [–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago* I was referring to self hosting a calendar service per the original post permalink fedilink source parent [–] MightyCuriosity@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago Fossify calendar permalink fedilink source parent [–] marius@feddit.org 2 points 2 years ago Disroot.org nextcloud permalink fedilink source parent
