So proton is out these days right? Does anyone have thoughts on fastmail?
Long time customer and super happy with Fastmail. Its a bit pricy but the service is great.
Yeah it could be argued that Fastmail is less private than alternatives, but they make a damn good service. Plus email shouldn’t be used for secure communication anyways.
Proton is still a great product… easy to switch away from Google, especially if you don’t have the time to self host or manage the complexity of 5 different services. I am aware of recent discussion, and have decided for myself that overreacting is not necessary, though that’s up to you :)
You are an intelligent person, as long as the service is not impacted, well you good
I went over to purelymail, but it’s in .us
It’s not fancy encrypted like proton, but it’s very affordable and straight forward to set up for your own domains.

Bookshop.org just recently added ebooks, and I believe they have a UK store, for anyone trying to buy ebooks in a more ethical way. It allows you to select a local bookstore of your choosing and support them when you purchase books. They take a small fee to cover their warehousing and shipping I think, but pass along a lot of the profit (80%) to the local bookstore. They’re a certified b corp and their bylaws say they can’t sell to a major retailer (eg amazon).
They don’t do all of what Proton does, but for email Hushmail is run out of Vancouver. The free account is quite limited in terms of space though, but it’s free.
Does anyone have a good recommendation for an S3 provider? I’m looking at Hetzner and OVH.
