Very cool. Interesting write-up for those looking to do the same.
I, more or less, came to a similar conclusion— but took a different approach. I ended up just going more all-in with Apple. Time will tell if that was a mistake.
The rationale is, if you look at Microsoft; or Google; they’re all doing the same thing. If you are using mostly Google products - the same problem with bundling happens.
My thought was, if I was going to trust a vendor at all — I could do worse than Apple. I used to love tinkering all day long and still do. I tinker with different things now, and can’t be arsed to self-host everything.
> 'one "suspicious activity” flag’
Let’s be real. I don’t do anything shady and I use my account mostly like a normal person would. I keep the shadier bits to my other non-Apple devices.
> I wanted a more powerful server, more RAM, bandwidth and also a faster ping.

Well, there you go— the impetus behind the move.
