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 :)

Here’s some “high quality” (heh heh) anecdata for you: I navigated from my house in Somerville to a restaurant in the Seaport district of Boston last night, in the POURING rain using public transit and walking.

Google maps literally was leading me around in circles downtown once I got off the train, so I switched to Apple Maps and it was straight shooting from there on in.

I think GMaps is more susceptible to the tall buildings fouling the GPS. Not sure why?

Joplin because I struggled for years with a consistent way to keep and refer to notes that I could find easily at a moment’s notice and access from any device, anywhere.

(Please don’t tell me about how you use a text editor and markdown in your home directory Like GH* INTENDED because I tried that FOR A DECADE and it didn’t work for me. I’m old and cranky. Get off my lawn! :)

Hey would you be willing to pass the site you found this on so we can all studiously avoid it? :)
