    @v4ld1z I download my music onto each device, personally, but I do have some experience with streaming. I prefer it just to be rid of the companies, but I do also cut the quality of all of my music down from FLAC to 128kbps MP3s. I can’t hear the difference, even on high end equipment, so it’s just a gain for me. YMMV on that though.

    I just use nextcloud to sync it all, though, and Symfonium on mobile/strawberry on desktop. It’s about 10 gigs for all of my music. I don’t have the largest collection, but 1.3k songs is still quite a bit

    @steel_for_humans Sounds familiar, honestly, I did similar. I’m also on Mailbox.org (great service) since email is… not a private form of communnication. You only get the benefits of E2EE if you’re sending emails to the same e2ee email provider (proton > proton, tuta > tuta, etc), so it didn’t feel worth it to me to stick with tuta over mailbox because I also wanted an email client, which tuta didn’t offer at the time, but mailbox did.

    None of your choices were wrong, you just bounced around a lot, which isn’t super uncommon in the beginning. I went from KeePass, to Google’s passwords (this was like… 10 years ago when google first offered password management), back to KeePass, to Nextcloud, now moving back to KeePass. I have passwords in 3 separate password vaults (two keepass, one nextcloud) that I need to sort through at some point.

    The biggest recommendation I have: Don’t switch again until you have stuff sorted out on your current one. Switching multiple times before you have everything setup is the worst. Besides that just take your time
