Degoogle update:

* I've started using Kagi as a paid alternative to DuckDuckGo / SearXNG and I'm really quite pleased.

Feels strange to pay for search but the results are consistently high quality.

Happy to support a business model built around providing a service to paying users over one that surveils me to provide a service to advertisers.

* Transition to Proton for email is nearly complete. Here's how I did it:

0) create proton account and poke around
1) aggressively unsubscribe from any emails I didn't actually care about (as they come in)
2) make a list of the top accounts that were most important to migrate (eg bank, newsletters I actually read, etc)
3) work the list
4) set up folder/tag filters for proton (it doesn't have a magic inbox auto-sort for important emails feature like gmail, so I had to put in some logic myself to make sure important stuff doesn't get buried under my like 300 newsletter subscriptions)
5) occasionally check gmail for accounts I missed
6) enjoy
