Pretty good read. Yeah, there are a thousand ways for your phone to compromise your privacy in spite of everyone's best attempt to do otherwise. (And I'm not suggesting everyone always does try to do otherwise.)

nice. i like ramnode, it's 3 bucks for a 1-core, 512mb ram, 160~GB hdd, 2TB bandwidth. 5 bucks gets you double those specs

there's some ssd ones too but for a personal email server i figured hdd is probably plenty fast enough

and man mail in a box was easy to set up. too easy tbh, now it's kind of like a black box that i dont' really know how it works. i set up a mail server with dovecot/postfix etc back in like 2012 and it was .. complex

Not a bad idea!

I'm trying not to come across as a VM salesman and just to be thorough and specific about the information I'm sharing. Here I go. Vultr rents out a VM for $2.50/mo., full specs below. That easily out-competes most of the private email services reviewed, price-wise! You just have to figure out how you're going to do backups.

(Message me for a referral code if any of you are interested so we each each get a couple bucks free credit.)

Specs for the cheapo VM:

• 10 GB disk space on an SSD
• 512 MB of RAM
• 500 GB monthly bandwidth
• But... it only does IPv6!
• The pre-configured OSes available to choose from includes Ubuntu, and there are numerous "get Mail-in-a-box installed on Ubuntu" guides available online.
• Note: The $2.50/mo. IPv6-only box is only available in some Server Locations such as New Jersey, USA. Not sure what the rhyme or reason for that is.

If you can handle the fact that you'll only get an IPv6 address, that box is more than sufficient to serve email. It's $3.50 for the same machine but with IPv4.

Near as I can tell, people have no control over the development of their sexual preferences. Some men discover they are only attracted to other men. For those men, faggotry the gateway to some of the deepest and most profound experiences of fulfillment and pleasure available to humans. I want everyone to experience as much joy, pleasure, happiness, and meaning as possible during their short lives. Ergo, faggotry is good.

i just set up a mail-in-a-box on a vps. it was surprisingly easy

phones are not secure by definition

phones are not secure by default

too late all of the NPCs are going along.

How so?

i think probably both. no one likes these apps that harvest data, but for most there is no other alternative. Musk gave a push at just the right time.

The open push to violate the 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendments should make everyone extremely angry. But even my normie tier conservative coworkers are going along with it.

In all fairness, faggotry is a good thing.

Thank you for sharing.

I'm done. F those guys.

I thought that to send anything in IPv6 they are taking down MAC addresses.

every should switch to xmpp/jabber but signal and telegram are normie friendly.

You might want to consider Session too if you are worried about big tech, Signal and Telegram servers are hosted on AWS and Azure respectively.Session doesnt have centralized servers https://getsession.org/

Good.

ProtonMail also doxed Tom Spark during some controversy ( https://medium.com/@gaetanosabin/did-nordvpn-and-protonmail-violate-gdpr-and-us-privacy-laws-by-doxing-vpn-affiliate-2fe7b0d51d1f ) I'd just avoid anything Proton. I currently use CTemplar but obviously I still don't do anything critical over email.

My gut tells me that this will result in arsons and assaults. I hope not though. Good thing I've never posted anything on Parler, I wouldn't expect those freaks to check if those were just cat pics.

Use official Tor Browser or I2P + some ungoogled chromium based browser and configure the proxy manually

Apparently a whole slew of browsers are sending IPv6 connections whenever they connect, "just to see which one is faster", which sure sounds like a lot of bandwidth for somebody to pay for ... must be worth it to someone.

Don't they just send a packet to measure response time? I'm not certain that'd amount to any noticeable increase in monthly BW usage.

Can someone who actually understands the Dismalest Science enlighten us?

I'm not your guy. It's an interesting topic of discussion and I hope someone who knows what they're talking about can come in and enlighten us.
