Trying to replace all my US based big-tech choices for Canadian alternatives.

Main ones:

  • cloudflare (domain and site hosting)
  • bitwarden
  • discord (a true alternative, but not sure if there is one)

Willing to hear of other recommendations for daily software as well :)

      sorry, it was moreso that they are an American company. I think big-tech wasn’t the right term for me to use. my apologies.

          why is that? I’m not into the whole self-hosting thing. I understand it’s better, but I prefer the convenience of off-loading that hassle to someone else.

            I understand that. If you ever are interested self-hosting Vaultwarden is a great way to take control of your password management. You get full control over your data, enhanced security and better privacy by minimizing the attack surface.

            Plus, you save on subscription fees in the long run. It’s a bit more technical, but the benefits of owning your data and is totally worth it.

            If you have an old PC you can also reuse it for this and a mini homelab.
