Ask HN: Best hosted alternative to Google Workspace for email?

So with Google starting to charge previously-free users, I've decided that I'd rather give my money to someone else. I'd like a provider who is likely to be around in a decade or two. Tips on moving many years of Google email to a new provider are appreciated as well!

Which software do you use frequently and are unable to replace (either at home or your company) despite thoroughly disliking it? What makes it so bad? Are there alternatives? Why can't you replace it?

Ask HN: Is there any tool for benchmarking responsiveness for Linux?

System76 recently announced their responsiveness optimizer, System76 Scheduler [0], which basically works as a daemon, adjusting the nice value and the CFS knobs for processes in the box for increased responsiveness. They've claimed that the responsiveness is therefore increased, which I'm also believed so. However, this got me wondering, is there exists any tool that can report the "numbers" (e.g., scheduling latency) regarding to the responsivenss? Maybe Google has such tool for testing regression for Android or Chrome OS, sadly, I didn't managed to find one. Thanks! [0] https://ift.tt/hPaDI3s
