How much are you paying for Google storage? I have terabytes of photos and video, not a teeny 15 GB. Google ended unlimited photos about 2-3 years ago. Where have you been?
Bitwarden is annoying when they are down and as a personal account that’s one thing but it’s not free if you share a family group vault.
May want to look seriously at Pihole. Lots of other things like nocodb, excalidraw, private VPN (Tailscale). Also I’m an engineer so I have thousands of documents. I convert the raw PDFs with the OCR/PDF utility then Sist2 can search them in like 2 seconds. No way to do it manually. Been collecting since 1989 and a lot of stuff doesn’t exist outside my files. There is NO equivalent.
Plus when I run Google Photos on my phone, Google grabs my photos, location, and number and delivers it to every criminal spam/scam system in India. Within minutes I get spam calls. They can go fuck themselves.
