I love reading others' experiences.

Setting expectations and re-evaluating values and priorities helped myself and family. Our FOSS solutions will rarely have all the features and pretty screens of megatech, but the trade off is worth it.

We think we need all kinds of services, and this really needs to be questioned. Five or ten years ago we lived just fine(perhaps even better) without these perceived needs. Taking some steps back has been fine, though requiring adjustment.
