Short version: I strongly do not recommend using any of these providers. You are, of course, free to use whatever you like. My TL;DR advice: Roll your own and use Algo or Streisand. For messaging & voice, use Signal. For increased anonymity, use Tor for desktop (though recognize that doing so may actually put you at greater risk), and Onion Browser for mobile.
This mini-rant came on the heels of an interesting twitter discussion: https://twitter.com/kennwhite/status/591074055018582016

| Script for dumping Bluetooth pairings from OS X to a registry file, for Windows | |
| import. This will allow you to have your Bluetooth devices paired with both | |
| operating systems at the same time. | |
| In case of problems with Windows registry entries: pair your device with Windows | |
| first, then with OS X, and then do the dump and import. | |

If your custom iso is not mounting, and your console is at an iPXE shell, you can:
initrd http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/files/iso/10/amd64/mfsbsd-se-10.1-RELEASE-amd64.iso
While the iso is downloading, vultr's iPXE does not include memdisk, so we have to upload it ourselves to another host.
Here's one I found public, though I wouldn't recommend using it: http://preseed.panticz.de/ipxe/memdisk
The Macbook Pro 11,3 (late 2013, Retina) is equipped with two GPUs:
Currently under Linux the Intel GPU can only be used with the help of:

| # Create display override file to force Mac OS X to use RGB mode for Display | |
| # see http://embdev.net/topic/284710 | |
| require 'base64' | |
| data=`ioreg -l -d0 -w 0 -r -c AppleDisplay` | |
| edids=data.scan(/IODisplayEDID.*?<([a-z0-9]+)>/i).flatten | |
| vendorids=data.scan(/DisplayVendorID.*?([0-9]+)/i).flatten |
| # put this in your .bash_profile | |
| if [ $ITERM_SESSION_ID ]; then | |
| export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033];${PWD##*/}\007"; ':"$PROMPT_COMMAND"; | |
| fi | |
| # Piece-by-Piece Explanation: | |
| # the if condition makes sure we only screw with $PROMPT_COMMAND if we're in an iTerm environment | |
| # iTerm happens to give each session a unique $ITERM_SESSION_ID we can use, $ITERM_PROFILE is an option too | |
| # the $PROMPT_COMMAND environment variable is executed every time a command is run | |
