Mark HeftlerJust published a one-year-later update on my “Modest Divestment” experiment: what stuck, what I’ve replaced, and how my current stack of email, storage, reading, and media services is holding up.

Mark Heftler2025 kicks off with A Modest Divestment, a deliberate effort to reduce my reliance on US-based big tech. Canceling 365, switching to #Startmail & #Internxt, and exploring #OnlyOffice. Saying goodbye to #Meta and tightening up #privacy protections. Here's to a secure, private, and independent year ahead.
