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.

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.

Just here to say thank goodness for the EFF. I support them, and if you live a cushy life like I do and have the money, you should too.

Is that contract copyrighted?

I think by far the biggest problem with open source is that the user community fundamentally mis-understands the nature of the transaction involving them and the developer(s) of the software they’re using.

I think if we could make everyone sit down, take 10 minutes and just read The Social Contract Of Open Source a lot of people would keep developing OSS software.

Brass tacks: You are being given a gift. The person who gave you that gift owes you NOTHING because… They gave you a gift and by using their software you chose to accept it.

I see it all the time in the open source project I co-maintain, and I have it SUPER easy beacause ours is really just a bundle of configuration files for Neovim.

Good. The more they abuse their user base the more people will look for alternatives. Hello Lemmy! :)

Yup that’s the solution I went with in the end analysis. Just use the exported text file copies of my keys and I’m good to go :)

Interesting food for thought here, but you’re talking about making the keys more secure.

These keys are ONLY used to store E-mail credentials, so “Good enough” is plenty :) I’ll work on successfully retaining and managing my single key first, and then we can work on flying around the room :)

But thanks!

Hey I just want to thank you for this. It did indeed do exactly what I wanted! I think in the past when I’d tried to export my secret key I musn’t have used the right parameters because I could never import it, but when I follow this guide I can!

So now I can just store plaintext private and public keys on my private NAS and import them on any machine where they’re needed and I’m good to go!

Apple does not care and will never care about open source other than the bits it has to care about because they’re a part of Darwin, their core.

They’re a company offering a particular “experience” and open source products do not fit into that model well at all. I use apple phones because I’m partially blind and for a very long time the accessibility story on Android was a screaming nightmare (I’m told it’s got better) but I have no illusions that they’re anything other than a profit seeking MegaCorp with all that implies.

Couldn’t agree more.

For what it’s worth I think Brett Cannon wrote one of the best posts ever on the social contract of open source and how Not To Be That Guy :)

Should be required reading IMO for anyone ever on Github :P
