Curious to try this out with my freelance client work.
Moving 2,600 images, screen shots, and videos off my iPhone via USB via Image Capture. I am just so done paying Apple for iCloud storage, and Google for the Google Photos storage space when I have two 2TB external HDs here, with unlimited backup via BackBlaze.
I just switched to the Brave browser, from Chrome, and I’m practically giddy about it.
Tonight I archived a bunch of old emails from my Fastmail account. Exported to Zip files, put ’em on external HD. Just like, 1000s of random sent emails, automated receipts and shit. Sure, I could have gone through and deleted a bunch, but nah.
This weekend I’ll be shutting down my Google Workspace account, and shuffling that email back to Fastmail. The less money I give to Google, the better.

Who is the group most likely to spread your idea? Your music? Your art?
Maybe you’ve got just 10 people on your email list. Start there.
Selling one album on Bandcamp (or at a show) will put actual money in your pocket, and usually an email address for your newsletter list.
