       | Since the author is willing to still use Google services, an
       | alternative time saving technique is to use Fastmail for custom
       | domain and forward email to gMail. Configure GMail to send-as
       | your custom domain. Once every few months do a Google Takeout.
       | Leave forwarded custom domain email on Fastmail as another
       | backup.
       | 
       | You could lose your GMail account, and not Lise much data if you
       | try to get people to not use your GMail address.

       | where my emails are just getting dropped.

         | I really like fastmail and recommend it.

       | more as we wander through this minefield of software we've
       | created over the last 10 years.

       | The last TWO times I had Docker on my Desktop, some update caused
       | it to fry itself and bring my computer to its knees trying to
       | restart something that it had "uninstalled". I said to it the
       | last time that if it wanted so badly to be uninstalled, that it
       | could just stay that way.
