    The fact that a privacy company based in a non five eyes country is even praising a government - especially one like the US - is a red flag.

    Nevermind the fact that they claim Republicans are anti big tech while being surrounded by tech CEOs…

    I’ve been looking in to degoogling and was considering Protonmail before this. Does anybody know of a good alternative? Espeically one that lets you have multiple email addresses?

      im using a nextcloud host called murena. you could probably use an equally good one or self host, but i found the free next cloud host sign up tool too buggy to use.

      main draw of next cloud for me is you can use features like third party clients and calendar sharing without having to manually prepare for account downgrade if you want a lower tier, and in fact the only difference between tiers is storage

      note that im not clear how good their encryption is, it seems not to be fully end to end encrypted

      I have pretty good experience with Tutanota an bitwarden as the most direct alternatives

      Tutanota apps lack a bit of polish but the UI looks reasonably nice and gets the job done. Bitwarden has treated me pretty well.

      I have tuta, bitwarden, firefox relay, and libreoffice, seems to work decently. I am also considering getting a mullvald vpn, but not sure how well it works with torrenting, since they no longer support port-forward.
