Thanks for the reply. How did you learn about self hosting nextcloud? May I ask what's the pricetag for a vps for nextcloud? Are you using a preconfigured is from nextcloud?

Deleting the old email account that fast is a bit risky. I still have my old yahoo account after switching to posteo two years ago and still sometimes get mails to it.

How do you host nextcloud? At home or on a vps?

Did you have any self hosting experience before doing that?

Do you know Logseq? It's an OpenSource/FOSS alternative to obsidian

Most of the Apps that appear in the "safe" category aren't the ones that first come to mind when thinking about privacy respecting services^^ I mean MS, Google, Netflix, Discord...
