Since #8 , Google has steadily decreased in utility.

This makes them untenable for me, and I'm divesting. I'll keep their calendar, Gmail, and Voice products as a personal way to connect with the world.

Replacements:

Since #8 , Google has steadily decreased in utility. * They had [https://support.google.com/drive/thread/245055606/google-drive-files-suddenly-disappeared-the-drive-literally-went-back-to-condition-in-may-2023?hl=en](a major data loss event) * They sold their DNS product to Squarespace and removed dynamic DNS records. https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/17131164996365-About-the-Google-Domains-migration-to-Squarespace * They removed the "don't be evil" clause from their code. https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/8kipwi/google_removes_dont_be_evil_clause_from_its_code/ This makes them untenable for me, and I'm divesting. I'll keep their calendar, Gmail, and Voice products as a personal way to connect with the world. Replacements: * Drive & Docs-- deprecated for [/AniNIX/Kapisi/src/branch/main/roles/Cyberbrain](AniNIX/Cyberbrain) and LibreOffice * Workspace -- deprecated for [/AniNIX/Kapisi/src/branch/main/roles/IRC](AniNIX/IRC) * In-house SMTP service is still untenable for the same reasons detailed in #8 . * Gmail -- deprecated for [https://proton.me](an AniNIX proton.me address). * DNS -- deprecated for [https://cloudns.com/](ClouDNS). * Meet -- deprecated for Discord and potentially a Jitsi install.
