  I don’t know if it will work, but it’s possible to tunnel all your traffic through a VPS using SSH and a piece of software called sshuttle.

  password-store is a CLI app to store passwords and even supports OTP.

  Whoogle is a meta search (still uses Google search) that takes the bloat off.

  Matrix is a decentralized and secure messaging platform.

  For email I have a vps (costs less than protonmail) and use Maddy.

  There are a few good firefox alternatives, I use waterfox on my phone and floorp on my Linux PC.

  Do a rehearsal move. Pack everything you have into boxes. Take out from the boxes only the things you need to use. Things that stay in the box for more than 12 months are things you probably don’t need and you can donate/sell them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Long-Time Linode User Considering Hostinger VPS – Is It Worth the Switch?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know about Linode, but with Hostinger you get a resource cap on CPU usage. If you put your VPS to crunch something you will be throttled down on CPU. I once tried importing Wikipedia on my VPS and had my CPU throttled down. I pay for the cheapest VPS with only one CPU. In this case you don’t really get the “full” VPS to yourself…
