Self hosting email is a non trivial effort. I’ve done it before and am in zero rush to do it again.

And before you tell me “Oh hey I’ve had no problems at all with delivery getting blocked by GOOG or MSFT” good on you but that has NOT been a lot of people’s experience trying to self host their E-mail, including mine.

Services cost money to run. Either you pay for the product or you are the product.

Make your choice, name your poison. No skin off my nose in any case :)

It’s not Tuta but I adore Fastmail.

No BS. No gimmicks. Just privacy aware, protocol conformant E-mail at a reasonable price.

Glad to hear about the “opt in”.

Partially blind guy here who struggles to use computers these days because EVERYTHING IS FREAKING TEENY TINY TEXT YOU CAN’T CHANGE ESPECIALLY MOBILE AAAAAH IT HURTS.

Ahem.

Yes I’m a bit bitter :)

Totally agree. Many people who keep using Chrome have a VERY outdated view of what Firefox can do. That’s a shame, but it’s unfortunately an aspect of human nature that negative impressions are SUPER hard to change.

I don’t think that’s always the case. 1Password started out as a personal password manager and only added the corporate/teams/families features later.

I blame the tinfoil hat infosec crowd for not understanding that the world they inhabit is not the same one Regular Users live in.

Is there risk in keeping all your passwords in one place, whether it’s on your hardware or someone else’s? hell yes! Is that risk stastically speaking ANYTHING LIKE the risk you take when you use ‘pencil’ for all your passwords because you can’t be arsed to memorize anything more complex? OH HELL YES.

Sure, if you’re defending against nation state level agressors, maybe using a password manager isn’ the wisest choice, but for easily 99% of computer users, we’re at the level of “keeping people from drooling on their shoes”. So password managers are probably a GREAT idea.

Friends don’t let friends run Chrome.
