Stop. Using. Google. At. All. For. Anythhing.

@randahl I am planning to replace at least Google Photos with a self hosted FOSS solution, but last week I lost an entire day replacing a HDD that was almost dead (after years of torrenting). I prefer self hosted, I don't want to switch to other hosting, even if they have E2EE, but maintaining things can be annoying sometimes.

@randahl I need to test this on our Business Workspace to see if it is limited to public use or widespread

@randahl Time to add a few links to potentially hazardous stuff just to poison the algorithm
