much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
I've been very happy with disroot.org, but you have to do your own encryption (I use Thunderbird).
I think I pay $10 per year for 5 GB, but they have a free plan.
Yo so question for y'alls: what's your opinion on using custom domain (for portability) vs masked emails?
Rn I have my main emails on my personal domain, and then I have masked emails going through xxx@fastmail.com for more anonymity + segmenting (err i mean just being able to disable a certain address individually) . But watching all this reminded me that if I decided to move away from fastmail, i'm much more locked-in this way. Do y'alls use a custom domain for masked email as well? The one thing I don't like about that is that it'd be so easy to connect multiple accounts based on domain, so anonymity is probably kinda broken.
I was mulling moving everything from Google to Proton. Guess I'll keep my money for now.
I've been doing research into this because I want to degoogle. Looking for hosted and secure Mail, Calendar, Drive... maybe docs if possible. I don't mind paying as long as I'm a customer and not a product to be sold.
My short list was: Mailbox.org, Zoho, and Notion.
Then there are the services I don't understand as much because I don't really want to self host or step into server maintenance... NextCloud, OwnCloud, LibreCloud, OnlyOffice. Maybe someone could straighten me out with those if I'm off base.
Thanks for this post. Any alternatives for Drive specifically?? Including self-hosted options
Immich if you want really good photo backup. Nextcloud if you want a full Drive replacement
I've been using Runbox for many years and it's weird i don't see recommendations.
I swear by Njalla, which is run by Peter Sunde
i wanted to move my google stuff to Proton this year as a Backup for my self hosted stuff. Shame, seems like I need to put a little more time into managing my self hosted stuff
