… Installed Graphene OS and deleted my Google account. May not seem like a big deal to some, but it was a project long in the making. Decoupling from cloud services / apps that are dependant on GAPPS is surprisingly difficult. It felt really good to delete my account in the end.

    Bitwarden. Converting all my passwords to another service and configuring a sync solution I was happy with was definitely a project unto itself. I do feel much better knowing that I won’t suddenly get locked out of the thing that stores my credentials for everything else, however.

    I was much more worried about losing access to some of the apps that make life easier than things that were difficult though. Google Maps was one, definitely. Another was my local metro bus fare app, but that seems to work fine and I could have used a bus card instead and it would only be slightly inconvenient. There are others I’m forgetting at the moment, but many seem to work fine.

        Because it would have required self hosting. I don’t have a server. I find just sharing my password file for Keepass DX/XD to be a simpler solution in my case. I also didn’t like Bitwarden’s UI anyway.
