  • would self hosting be the way to go then in this case?

    Absolutely. 👍 Running your own Nextcloud (+ calendar + contacts addons, + office if you like) gives you most of what Proton has to offer: docs/filehosting, calendar and contact sync (via calDAV/cardDAV). You can even tack on notes, photos, a password manager and more if you like, although I think there are better specialised tools for each of these. (For me, that’d be Joplin, immich and keepass + Syncthing.)

    also how good is using proton solely for mail and vpn? or should i diversify more?

    Personally, I would always separate my e-mail provider (which is prime real estate for identifying me personally) from my VPN (which is supposed to make me harder to identify). Whether that’s true for you (and worth the little bit of extra cost) is up to you.
