Hello,
I took the degoogle boat in 2024 when I saw shit like gulf of murika.
So far I have no regrets, and if I have to do it again, I’ll do it again.
My actual setup : Phone : Pixel with GrapheneOS.
Mail : Proton Drive : Proton VPN : Proton Password Vault : Proton
Calendars/Contacts : radicale (selfhosted) Photo : Immich (selfhosted) Home : Home Assistant (selfhosted)
Notes : Standard notes YouTube : Newpipe/Grayjay/SmartTube Maps : CoMaps Authenticator : Aegis Wallet : Catima & (Mybank app)
Now with the last declarations from CEO of Proton, I’m seriously thinking to change some of my setup.
Did someone have recommandations for mail provider, with a private domain name? I want to be more resilient in case my mail provider turn on the dark side.
Actually I’m thinking about mailo services. 1,5€/months for 20Go with drive. If someone have some experience with them and coule advise me.
Also I need a solution for my aliases. I was thinking of Addy.io or duck.
VPN, I need a solution for Android with split tunneling, and also for linux. Maybe Amnezia, but there website don’t inspire me confidence.
And also I need a new password vault, easy to sync between my devices. Lots of articles talk about BitWarden and VaultWarden, but from US, and I don’t wan’t to feed the beast even if it’s a geniune editor focused on privacy.
I just moved from Tuta to mailo for their free account. So far, it looks fine and simple. The custom domain config was not so straightforward, but finally ok. I find that their documentation could be improved, honestly.
Just curious why you moved from Tuta?… we are just trying it out, but it appears the NHS in the UK blocks all Tuta mails… so we trying to decide between an alternative or complementary provider.
I moved from Tuta because encryption makes it real slow, but the biggest reason was that searching in mails is very painful, ineffective, in addition to slow. So I decided to ditch the whole end-to-end encryption thing for mail considering all I’ve read about that recently.
Since I’ve moved, I could re-browse all my emails and realized 80 % of them are very un-sensitive data like order confirmations etc Since I selfhost paperless, which is awesome, I really don’t need to keep a record of more important stuff in my mails anymore
Ah that makes sense, we’ve not used it enough for search to be relevant, but it will be eventually. I’m a big user of folders so my inbox is often sorted enough to find things quickly without search but after a couple of years search becomes essential.
With with trust in Proton steadily declining it’s difficult to know who to trust with Mail and VPN and Passwords.
