As much as I like using Proton Mail and VPN, their current offerings have grown exponentially in size.

I would highly recommend anyone here to not put all their eggs in one basket. Proton can and has in the past disabled user accounts for no reason. This means that you will lose access to everything you use with them.

Only use Mail or VPN and use other services for other needs.

Mail -> Tutanota
Calendar -> Tutanota
Drive -> Just make a NAS. I don't trust any provider with file storage.
VPN -> Mullvad
Pass -> Bitwarden or Keepass
Wallet -> Don't buy crypto
Docs -> ~~OpenOffice~~ LibreOffice
Sheets -> ~~OpenOffice~~ LibreOffice
Authenticator -> Aegis or Ente Auth
Meet -> This is fine.
AI -> Run something locally

As an example, I'm not a programmer. Not interested in being one. I set up Radarr on my home server this week and it wants all video files in their own named folders to import. I had like 400 movies I needed to manually make a folder for so Radarr can detect it. I asked AI to make me a script that just read the name of the movie, made a folder with the same name, then moved the movie into it. Took all of 3 minutes for a task I will never do again.
