Cancuck here. I’ve moved all my services out of the US if possible. Moved almost everything to a dedicated server at OVH BHS and a VPS at Servarica. The only service I’ve kept with a US company is my SMTP relay. Can’t go wrong with MXroute and it’s not some big company mining all your emails as they go through. Plus if I have something sensitive to send I use PGP or use my self hosted Matrix and message it to the person.

Just open a window and put a Canadian Goose inside, the Americans will leave fairly quickly lol

Talk about going backwards…

Shout-out to the journalists that have to listen to this bullsh!t every day. I hope your employers offer a great mental health program.

My current project is email. Setting up Mailcow and moving my domains over to VMs on a OVH KS-3 server right here in Canada. I’m sick of depending on cloud email providers and want more control of my data. Also getting Addy.io setup to move my aliases over from SimpleLogin. End game is to dump Proton and go all selfhosted for email and Mullvad for VPN. For Mullvad I found that you can buy a 6 or 12 month gift card vouncher on Amazon and it works out to being less than paying Mullvad directly per month.

The Felon can still be denied entry even if he fills out the paperwork. Simply filling out the paper does not guarantee someone entry into Canada.

It would be really nice if the Canadian Government didn’t let the Felon attend the G7 meeting this summer.

Self hosted ntfy and mailrise. Mailrise is a wrapper for apprise that let’s you send emails to it and in turn converts the email to the desired push alert.

For password resets or account creation welcome emails I’d use a SMTP service. I use SMTP2GO for those. Free plan is something 1000 emails a month. I’ve been using them for a year and think I’ve sent maybe 5 or 10 emails.

I use Proxmox Backup Server for my backups. Everything backups to 1 system at home. I then sync the data store to a little NAS I have at a family members house across town and also to a cheap storage VPS on the other side of the country. I also do a manual sync of the data store to a single external drive that I manually connect and disconnect.

None of my data hoarding files are backed up as that would cost way too much. That could change if I ever find a killer deal on an LTO8 or better drive and tapes.

I know that Hetzner has some decently priced Storage Boxes that you can mount using rclone and then backup to. Keep in mind that latency will be a factor so it could be slow.
