Hey,
I know it sucks to rely on cloud services but it is what it is. I use Apple iCloud, Bitwarden and GitHub.
Technically, I could self-host all three but I want my backups not at my place or at least have them in both places cloud/at home.
I do have two spare Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and one small computer with an old i5 / 8 GB RAM.
What do you personally self-host?
Not a VPS.
Someone else’s computer.
More like: paying someone to maintain the hardware.
Anyways.
Just FYI, your mails with a provider like Proton are not E2E encrypted unless you exclusively wrote with other Proton customers (in which case I assume they are. No idea). Otherwise it’s just encrypted at rest.
I dint really see the benefit over doing it completely yourself, not even offering metadata to a provider, and also having encryption at rest, while maintaining full compatibility with mail clients 🤔
FYI, use GPG.
Yes, and I do werether the recipient also knows how to use it.
So, for like, 1% of my mails.
