Love this, haha.

Oh, that's interesting. I was under the impression that Garmin was best for the actual fitness stuff, but this is good to know

This author has done a few of these tests and Garmin seems to be most accurate. I'm mostly not a fan of the intense styling though

Never heard of gadgetbridge. Excited to switch over

I've always wanted one of those. They're gorgeous and remind me of my Skagen watch's styling. Also appreciate the long battery life

You can have many accounts. Moments has been replaced by Photos (much better). Personally, I wouldn't hassle with running an email server. I use mailbox.org

Yeah, backup is very easy, I backup to a locally attached external hard drive as well as to a cloud service. There are loads of options and ways to manage backups

A single bay "J" model should be around $200 including a 4tb drive. You can achieve a lot with that, especially if your focus is automated photo backup

Nextcloud, as mentioned, is a great option but does require a bit of work, albeit not much. I would recommend a Synology server. They're fantastically simple and this was my approach after trying Nextcloud. I did this to divorce myself from Google. Synology has many mirrored services

I've been using mailbox.org for years and they're great. I also like that they are following both German and EU rules/principles

I enjoy your succinct analysis :)

Yeah. For the most part, animals should be left alone, but this is a better interaction than the Orcas going around attacking boats
