     @chris Such a similar journey here: https://chriswiegman.com/2025/01/am-i-doing-computing-wrong/

     I too used Dropbox, SpiderOak, and, happily for a long time, ownCloud, until ownCloud threw a billing issue at me. Now it's a household iCloud plan.

     I don't want to go Google, want things to be easy for my family to stay secure and backed up, but I don't want to buy more Apple stuff, either.

     @chris I was so frustrated with text message spam, I got the household & my mom on Signal (which can do video calls). But Signal doesn't work like SMS if cellular data is flakey. And notifications didn't always work. And then I found Bouncer for iOS and just blocked all the spam with keywords.

     @chris Hate that I'm paying for Spotify for everyone else when I'm happy with my growing collection in Plex. :)

     @chris Not today. It's already been a Monday of Windows. I'm so done.

     @chris @heymarkreeves I ended up purchasing 2TBs of iCloud space just to protect the photos my Wife takes from her iPhone where SyncThing is not an option.
