This is a really important article but just got flagged (why?) so I'm reposting it.

When I worked at IBM in ‘98 Lotus Notes was the default email client for all employees - we referred to it internally as “Bloatus Goats” such was the disdain we had for it.

Don't bother, I tried with a disposable email address and they make you subscribe to a mailing list before sending you the download link. When you do eventually get it, it's a 3 page puff marketing PDF.

I converted it to TXT and pulled out the only bit of interest here:

                  Collabora Office                              Collabora Office Classic
                  Fresh, modern UX                                Classic, established UX
  Javascript & CSS UI to match Collabora Online                    VCL-based classic UI
       Simpler settings / streamlined defaults           Very extensive options, menus & dialogs
                       No Java                       Java used for some features/wizards/DB drivers

I live in the UK now, have done for 40+ years and there are (still) automated car washes everywhere.

Have you considered https://tiller.com/ ? They can pull feeds in and refresh automatically but have a big privacy play so that only you get to see your finances (and display and manage it in Excel or Google Sheets).

I'd recommend using Outline - it's a one click setup that lets you provision your own VPN on a cloud provider (or your own hardware).

Since you get to pick where the hardware is located and it is just you (or you and a small group of friends & family) using the VPN, blocking is more difficult.

If you don't want the hassle of using your own hardware you can rent a Digital Ocean droplet for <$5 per month.
