I feel like I'm depending too much on this botnet to live
My calendar, mail, notes, documents, pictures, web browsing, phone are all here.
Should I be worried? Not that I have anything to hide but it doesn't feel right for me
Nah. Just don't do anything illegal and you're fine.
>Should I be worried?
Sort of, more for the fact that you can't come up with your own non-google related solutions (e.x., a text file, a spreadsheet, a god damn daily planner with a pen) than Google wanting to hardcore datamine you.
>Not that I have anything to hide but it doesn't feel right for me
It's good to hide things. Lesson for today: you don't need to put EVERY LAST THING about yourself on the internet.

>you can't come up with your own non-google related solutions
Of course I can come up with a solution, but I don't because of convenience
Who cares? Nobody on this board is important enough for privacy.

Well its not only about privacy. I'm just feeling like maybe I shouldn't depend on a single company to handle all my shit.
What if google stop existing tomorrow? What are the chances of this happening?

Using Google makes it convenient and convenience is important. If you're worried, back up your shit yourself on your own hardware.

You should really be asking, what if I become a target for identity theft, etc.
What if I get falsely accused and all my records are there for the public to see? What if modern day 'telemarketers' start using all of your google metadata to track you in your daily routines to target you for ads, irl meetings (ie door to door, but in public and not at your actual door)
What if a private entity or a government decides to try to prosecute you for something but cannot so they scour your history and metadata to try to pin some crime on you (ie carrying an ice cream cone in your back left pocket on a sunday style law)? Why even deal with that in the first place?
It's like pic related, but in your case replace security with convenience. Remember, all of those services are "free", but remember there is no free lunch. ;)

>>being so uneducated you cannot grasp basic concepts such as everything having an intrinsic monetary value
So what?
If spend money I am a productive member of society. But none of that negates the fact that I got a free lunch.
>>54141362
>If spend money I am a productive member of society.
Not if you didn't earn/create that money.
>But none of that negates the fact that I got a free lunch.
There is no free lunch. Even if you steal your lunch, it wasn't free. Someone paid for it.
>>54141416
>Someone paid for it.
Yeah, not me. therefore its free for me

The scary thing is not that Google might stop existing and your data with it. The scary thing is that your calendar, mail, notes, documents, pictures, web browsing history, phone data and all other data you ever have or ever will produce, will outlive both you and Google. You might "have nothing to hide" from the current corporation/govermnent combo, but there is a non-zero chance they'll be replaced by a fascist/communist regime, feminazi junta, muslim theocracy, alien overlords, mutant Jews or crab-people some time in your lifetime and they might not like the history of your life you're writing on Google servers today.
>>54140663
Most people do, welcome to the modern world.
Don't be an idiot and post nude pictures of yourself, your homicidal manifesto, social security numbers or anything and you'll be fine. Basically, anything that would get you fired/end your marriage/send to you jail.

Would you care if crab people knew your dead friends phone numbers and 80 year old calender appointments?
>>54141542
Sounds like you would be better off on reddit so you can le down vote comments you don't like
>>54141848
Yes. When crab people revolution takes over, having a history of appointments in crab restaurants is the last thing I want.

Watch this talk from a professional private detective. He discusses the ways he can fuck your life up based on the stuff people send out willingly like facebook and google. If you're angry about the government then be terrorfied at the stuff Facebook and Google find on you.

This is actually a good reason not to rely too heavily on google. Google is an advertising company, they don't give a fuck about their actual "products" and will shit them down or change them on a whim. They just want to sell ads and data, all their tech is just a means to sell ads and data. Now i doubt that gmail or other things like that will be shut down anytime soon but you never know when they will pulls some shit and change the ui or change how the system in a way you don't like or in a way that fucks up your workflow. So it's always good to diversify and have a backup plan.

Host your own mail server, cloud server
and i3 - 6100 ( 100 usd )
8 gb server ram = 37 usd
a quality mATX motherboard 75 or 100 usd for more features such as wireless adaptor.
HTPC case - max 75 usd ( if you want a beautiful, rigid one ) - also includes 120 w psu.
An 7200 rpm 1 TB hdd - 88 usd
total 375 usd.
Now if we read the labels it will consume around 80 watts in full load
but if you use Linux with no services other than mandatory, no graphical interface and so on - even in full load with unlucky hardware you will consume way less than 80 watts.
This all translates into a very small electricity bill for a 24/7 good server...
If you ask me 375 usd for private mail, cloud and other services is very good.
>>54140663
Enjoy your botnet.
>>54143589
Do this project with 2 friends and split the cost 125 usd... for all that, the hardware will stay potent for at least 3 years.

The thing that concerns me about hosting my own mail server is dealing with spam issues, delivery issues, spam blacklists etc. I would like to host my own email but I need to be 100% sure that it will be reliable and that people will receive my emails and that i will receive theirs. This is what keeps me using google apps to host my email.
>>54143979
How would you end up getting spammed?
There are work around for your problems tho.
But it's not like there are spam bots that brute force every name and domain name combination to send hundreds of spams... it's common sense that you need.

Why would you need an online calendar/notes? Just use local one on your phone. Why store pictures and documents online as well? Get a better browser and root your phone.
Most likely no need to worry for yourself. If anything, worry over the implications of a world where it's hard to get by without these services, and how that impacts potential whistleblowers and such.
Can't expect everyone with important stuff to leak to be as savvy as Snowden.
>>54140663
>phone are all here
Yes, you should be worried. Get a good phone.
Also don't store personal information in the cloud, how hard can it be?
