Hello! I would like to take some distance from Google because I don't like its hegemony over the internet. I've switched from chrome to Firefox, I've stopped using it as a search engine and I've started using duckduckgo for starters, but I'm a bit more lost on how to replace its other services. What are yours alternatives to Google? I've heard about proton mail to replacement Gmail, how is it? Do you know something to replace maps and drive?

Replacement for maps: ~~apple maps, bing maps,~~ openstreetmaps

Replacement for drive: ~~OneDrive, box.net, Dropbox,~~ nextcloud, your own Fritzbox Router with NAS enabled

Also syncthing is a P2P alternative to drive.

And duck duck go has a map.

@crazyminner @DmMacniel A masto friend introduced me to #Nextcloud. Im investigating how to install this on shared LAMP host space. It seems fairly easy. It has various doc and note functionality, plus image storage etc.
