I'll keep my Apple devices but will break up with iCloud - backups were already off, photos is turning off, and drive will be emptied. I've wanted to explore owning a Synology NAS for several years - probably its own can of worms and not bulletproof but at least I'll own the device, can set my own encryption keys, and am not outsourcing storage. I've been invested in using Protonmail and Tresorit, both tout E2EE storage and being domiciled in Switzerland is a nice plus. Maybe I'll even take my handheld Fujifilm camera out more. Having sharp photos taken with real optics and not muddled by tons of algorithms sounds refreshing. I really do enjoy the Apple ecosystem - hardware and software quality are nice, integration between products excellent, seems to last pretty long relative to other tech brands I've owned. I'm just taking an approach over owning where things go off my devices.
