    i would change:

    • signal to something else that wouldn’t use amazon servers.
    • HERE maps to mapy.com. HERE maps aren’t very good since they don’t use OSM data

      What about the fact that basically ALL entire planet goes through either Cloudflare or Akamai’s infrastructure? I wonder if it is even possible to not use those, even unwillingly

        ALL entire planet

        Not the all planet but a big portion yes. There’s a firefox extension that helps with that: Decentraleyes.

        Don’t let the good be an enemy of the excelent. There’s some stuff that’s unavoidable, but every tiny bit helps.

        It will always depend on your requirements. Mapy is from a czech company. They have some cool features (like trips, gpx export, directions, reviews), however if you don’t need them, then using a simpler opensource solution might be better for you.
