Are you using a non-proprietary email service, /g/, and if so,

Nobody? Weird. With such a supposed focus on privacy I thought this would be right up /g/'s street. Is there any point in using Gentoo or the like but still using Facebook and Gmail every day?

>>60299765
I never even knew these thongs existed.

>>60299906
Fuck i meant things

Well that's interesting.

Most people use Gmail or Hotmail or Yahoo.

But you can use a non-proprietary email service that doesn't scan every email you send and receive, and that sells your data.

Yes, you may have to pay for it, but you wouldn't be paying more than $5-$10 a month. If that is too much for you then carry on as normal. The only reason proprietary email services are free are because they are making money off your data.

If you're still interested, have a read of this

I host my own. You can get Bayesian spam filters off the shelf these days.

>>60299969
Only non proprietary is self hosted. What are you even talking about?

>>60299983
i've wanted to host my own for a while now.

just imagine the awkwardness at a store when they ask for your email and you say [email protected]

Kolab, for instance, will only hand over data if requested by their national law authority. There have been only three requests in the last few years, two from the US, which they refused. They must comply with their national law enforcement agencies, as you would have to with a self-hosted server. That's good enough for me.

>>60300073
And I should trust their words because? that still isn't in any way non proprietary

>>60300119

Agreed, you don't have to. But for those of us who can't host our own, it's a far better alternative.

protonmail and cock.li
all anyone needs

>>60300136
>don't have
Mustn't.

End to end encryption is the only way to have privacy, so do yourself a favour and start using GPG. Trusting random guys because they promise to be nice is not very smart

Proton Mail for me
.ch

>>60300235
B-but, how does one use GPG? It's hard senpai~~ owoooooo

Interesting, I didn't know about this. Thank you.

Do I need email privacy if literally nothing important ever gets sent to me? This includes receipts for stuff I buy

I could care less if someone found out I bought a bike helmet or ink cartridges online

Also wouldn't it be noticed if you suddenly go off grid and totally private

huh?

>>60299345
I tried hosting my own mail server, but literally everyone either marked it as spam or even just fucking dropped it, so I gave up.

>>60300574
How can you not know about them kys ignorant PENIS lover.

>>60300585
Did you use SPF and DKIM? That and a matching HELO host name is usually all you need.

As long as you encrypt your e-mails with PGP, you could even use gmail and be perfectly safe.

I use tutanota, it sucks that I can't use an e-mail client, only webmail.

Postfix+Dovecot on my SBC.

>>60299345
roundcube is foss and solid, can be installed on linux.
using cpanel atm though, so not foss all the way through

>>60302057
Except for all that metadata.

>>60299969
unless you're doing like autismo tier encryption $5/month seems a lot considering how much resources e-mail doesn't consume (bandwidth, space, etc.,)

sorry if i rather my professional sounding e-mail not come from either of these... at the very least - Cock.li

>>60299345
I wish my library had white people in it

>>60299345
cause that site sucks tutanota has open source on it you faggot

>>60299345
What is "non-proprietary"? I used Yahoo a long time but it got shittier so I decided to use my webhost for emailing. I'm very careful where and how I post my adresses now.

>>60303239
Yeah, I wished FSF would host a mail provider tho

>>60303239
>professional sounding
What's wrong with airmail.cc?
