I’m a software developer, and I tell people on the daily you need to protect your data and have many times said not to give DNA to anyone unless it can save your life. 21 and me is gross as a business model and should not be a thing and I also strongly agree they need to be put into prison

I’m peeling back the tech-oligarchies hold on me by getting rid of Google and the other big boys. I’m fortunate I can spin up SMTP server (MailCow) and cloud storage (NextCloud) using free and open source software (FOSS). But I encourage others to do the same if they can. SMTP is a tough nut to crack, maintaining servers is also a bit of a task. But any technologist that knows web servers (Docker, VM) and DNS can set up shit using elest.io/managed-services
