+## Privacy vs Security
+
+There is a distinct difference between two methods of hardening (making more protected) a device. One focuses more on keeping your metadata safe, and the other your data. Many [TBD/TODO: solutions?] handle both at the same time, such as using a VPN.
+
+`Privacy` is the first; it means that you would like to prevent others from seeing what you are doing, keeping others' **eyes** off your data. You would like your web browsing experience to be *confidential*. `Privacy` involves using browsers which delete sensitive data, messengers which use `end-to-end encryption` (`E2EE`), etc.
+
+`Security` is the latter; ensuring that your device and its content are not accessible from others. This is more related to keeping others' **hands** off your data. Having proper `security `prevents your devices from being hacked and your online accounts from being breached. This would be more related to using a `passcode` on your device, having strong passwords, and [TBD/TODO].

+# Email
+
+Changing email services is actually much easier than most people think.
+It's really only a few steps.
+
+1. Create a new account.
+2. Set up your old account to forward to the new account.
+3. Begin using your new account, exclusively using it to read and reply.
+4. Commit to only using the new account consistently.
+
+## Recommended Mail Providers
+
+This article from 2015 lists two of the same hosts that I'd recommend, showing that they've been around for a while and likely aren't going anywhere.

+
+### Proton
+
+A highly popular choice in today's world. When emailing other Proton users the messages are E2EE, meaning that even Proton cannot read the contents.
+
+The service must be used from their website or app, they do not provide IMAP/SMTP to the general public. Their interface is actually pretty good though, and using it means less setup in the long run.
+
+They also offer enterprise email hosting solutions if you have your own domain.
+If only set up for yourself it's actually quite affordable, starting around $60 USD in 2025.
+
+Other than email, Proton offers a respectable VPN, a 2 factor authenticator (2FA), a password manager, and many other solutions that people tend to look for.

+1. Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
+2. Click the gear icon in the upper-right corner and select "More Settings".
+3. In the left-hand menu, click on "Mailboxes".
+4. Under the "Mailbox list," select your primary Yahoo mailbox account.
+5. Scroll down to the "Forwarding" section and enter the email address where you want your messages to be forwarded.
+6. Click "Verify." Yahoo will send a verification email to the address you entered.
+7. Log in to the destination email account, open the verification email from Yahoo, and click the verification link to confirm ownership.
+8. Return to your Yahoo Mail settings, enable forwarding, select the verified address, and click "Save" to activate the feature.

+# Offline Solutions
+
+There are also alternatives to consider that avoid using electronics completely!
+
+## Pen & Paper
+
+A small notepad and a set of good pens can cost under $5 USD.
+
+Some may consider this wasteful, but at the end of the day, it saves:
+- time from the lack of distractions,
+- energy since it is easier to focus on, and
+- electricity since devices need power to run.
+
+Even though your electronic may not waste any physical resources, it requires power to run, which needs to be fueled somehow.

+# Conclusion
+
+Making the jump to alternative technologies is not something which happens overnight.
+
+Leaving large platforms such as Google's suite can take weeks if not months to completely migrate from.
+The important part is that progress is being made.
+Eventually it will happen in full if the commitment is taken seriously.
+
+Then once it's over, you're done! Other privacy and security minded people will respect that you've taken the time to improve your tech stack while respecting their time and data.
