SincerityIsCool@lemmy.cato Privacy@lemmy.ml•looking to migrate off gmail finallyEnglish18·11 days agoI recently started migrating my email and went with mailbox.org. I opted for it based on it having a good balance of ethical/environmental stances, support for custom email domain (so email doesn’t feel like vendor lock in in the future), and a business model focusing on paid service.
There were a lot of options but ultimately I just wanted something “good enough” rather than spending weeks on comparing. A part of that decision was realizing I didn’t care about getting something with the best possible privacy - email is predominantly an insecure medium and things with E2EE work only if the recipient is in the same ecosystem, which is rare. In practice I’m not going to trust anything sensitive to email regardless, so I might as well prioritize picking something that looks like a decent and stable balance.
Mailbox.org has calendar but I haven’t really played with it much. I’m realistically going to look in to look in to something self hosted since I will require more features than most email providers will offer, so I don’t want to tether the two services. That was a part of the reasoning for Mailbox.org over something with more services - I wanted email, not something trying to be the next ecosystem - that’s what I was trying to get away from!
I can’t bring myself to upvote this, but I salute your title 🫡 It is perhaps the most apt caption I have seen.

I was under the impression that the issue is at standard anything involving ports just doesn’t work with a VPN because it would be trying to get to the port on the VPN, which the VPN would rightly refuse unless you’d set it up to forward that port

I’ve been looking into alternatives and AirVPN and OVPN both look reputable.

AirVPN and OVPN are options that seem to be of similar integrity to Mullvad.

Either way, seeding issues are leeching issues, in the grand scheme of things.
Edit: I only stress the seed side because I’ve found I get things plenty fast even with Mullvad, so not explaining the issue and just talking about down speed can make it seem unnecessary, when it is in fact critical to the health of the community.
SincerityIsCool@lemmy.cato Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•𝗠𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 needs to be updatedEnglish29·27 days agoWithout port forwarding you can only connect to those who do have it set up. Doing so yourself allows you to be a better citizen of the internet and share with people who don’t know what it is.
(Caveat: I am one of those people who don’t understand it and am just parroting what was explained to me when I asked about this)

Glad to hear it! Honestly I find almost everything just works. I often forget that things are supposedly Windows only.

Humans do indeed contain multitudes, but I think this gives too much credit to the influence of corporate (and their political interference) interests. Enshittification is an active choice made in board rooms. Disinformation is an agenda. They’re not inevitable grassroots outgrowths.
Lemmy, curated to avoid AI, curtail corporate news, and where the admins and community are fighting bots and trolls is an example of the reclamation attempt.
And you know what? It’s kinda nice here.

Until I asked in this thread the only thing I’d seen is some vague handwaving about it being faster.
I’ve only just dipped my toes in so maybe this is off base, but the community seems to have an elitism problem. If the people who know are dismissive of ignorant noobs who want to learn, the long term health of the community suffers for it.
I tried it out to see how it was coming along a year or so ago. It made Kenshi look polished.
