Couple of additions:
- translate -> deepL (AI based with a free tier (no account required)), or for websites FireFox has a builtin offline translation tool
- drive -> Filen (Zero knowledge, E2EE)
- search -> Kagi (paid), or one of the listed
Also check the Fossify apps.
I started using Tuta recently. I created some aliases. Someone can email be at one of my aliases but if I reply to them then the other person sees my alias as well as my original email address, which kinda defeats the purpose. Anybody know why that is?
If you set up aliases it should be auto-sending back as that email when replying (or mine does). If it isn’t, just click the Sender field and change it to the alias in question. If all your aliases aren’t an option in that dropdown then I think something isn’t configured right and it’s possible you set up a catch-all instead of an actual alias I think?
Yeah, even if I select an alias as the sender, they see
myrealemail@tuta.com ‘<myalias@tuta.com’>
(except without the single quotes)
In the sender field. I just tried it with someone sitting next to me.

I think it depends where you’re viewing the comment, but you can escape markdowns with a forward slash.
‘\>’ results in >
Oh nice that worked for me. I initially tried the wrong slash before trying the single quotes, then I gave up.

Lol proton and brave gtfo
Still better than Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive, Microsoft Edge, and Google Chome.
How
Because of how it is
You think that Proton and Brave is on the same level of privacy as Google, Apple, and Microsoft?
The only alternative to Proton pass’s seamless integration with protonmail for untraceable aliases is self hosting bitwarden, making it accessible from outside your network, then either using a 3rd party email aliasing service or self-hosting email. So in other words, not viable or easy or secure for the vast majority of users except a small portion of power users.
I desperately want an alternative, but there just aren’t any. There are alternatives to each individual piece of Proton, but putting it all together and making it as seamless and easy as Proton does is nigh impossible.
(also if you self host email, that links your domain with your aliases which is still less anonymous than a 3rd party alias service)
What’re untraceable aliases and what are they good for?
So with Proton pass, I create a new email alias for every online account. It will be formatted like mycustomalias.randomword12345@passmail.com. I set the text on each to the name of the site I make it for.
If I get an email to one, it goes to my hidden “main” address, which I haven’t given out to a single person on earth, not even my wife. When I get an email, I can reply to it using the alias. The sender cannot ever see my main email.
This has a few benefits. One, nobody knows who I am. A website cannot link me to another site. If there’s a data leak, one single email address is leaked. I can easily delete that alias and make a new one. Similarly, if I EVER get a spam email, I know which alias it was sent to, so I know who leaked it, or who decided to send me spam. Again, I can delete it and the spam source is gone.
Unlike something like “myemail+customalias@gmail.com”, which does allow me to use different emails for each place, this is untraceable. You cannot find my main email by looking at an alias.
And finally, this is more anonymous than using your own domain, as you share the same domain as many other people.
When I use Proton pass the password manager, it can generate one of these aliases in about 1 second and ties it to that saved password for super easy log in. No other configuration requird. It just works. (you can use and create aliases without passwords if you want)
I use addy.io with fastmail and bitwarden (not self hosted). I switched to that from protonmail+simplelogin+protonpass and get basically the same user experience. What am I missing that requires self hosting bitwarden?
Great recommendations, for YouTube I recommend taking a look at peertube and also, while this is not really a YouTube alternative, take a look at fmhy.net they have many links for tv shows, anime, movies, books, educational videos, documentaries, etc… Great tool :3
Recommending Brave or any other Chromium browser as an alternative for Chrome is a big no no for me.
Also, don’t use Organic Maps, use CoMaps
What’s the issue with OrganicMaps?
Most of the community contributors forked it as CoMaps recently. You can read why they started this project here.
Damn, so one of the founders still has closed source code running on Organic Maps. Unbelievable.
I’ll be switching immediately. Thanks for sharing.
I was not aware of this shit. Sneaky little fucks. I’ve been using OSMAnd~ for over 3 years now. Is this being affected as well? I did j stall comps a few days ago to test it (I’m liking it so far). Any suggestions?
No, osmand is not affected, it is not related with organic in anyway.
The TL;DR is that while organic maps is open source the people maintaining it are running it as a for profit company.
Comaps is a fork that insists on being a nonprofit
The main reason why people use google maps is the fact it has reviews included.
Other navigation apps don’t offer this convenient feature.
The open/close times, photos, and real-time crowd report in Google Maps make it the hardest Google service to completely replace.
The open times are easy to contribute with the StreetComplete app.
OSMand has a Street View type of thing called Mapillary.
Yeah traffic seems like it’s going to be tricky for any open source project. CoMaps claims they are working on it.
i can see open/close times on CoMaps too
i guess it’s available on all osm apps
It has a field for it, but I’ve found it to be missing the data for a lot of places compared to Google. This probably varies by city so maybe it’s just bad luck for me.
I try to update this in OSM every time I find information missing. Its like playing pokemon - gotta catch them all! ;)
Just made my first map contribution yesterday after I went to a business that wasn’t marked on the map and it’s lit a fire in me to mark more. Too bad I don’t go to new places often…
Mapy.com does!
Ive been using Ente Auth and Filen recently and I’m enjoying them both.
I think koofr and posteo.de should be included
I like Molly (Signal fork) and SimpleX for chat.
Is this meant to look like a porn ranking site?
I would gladly use a OSMand or OSM if there was a way to set Home. I’m sitting in my house, the dot or arrow is correctly located, but I cannot find anywhere to declare this as Home.
Also, if interested in a non-US fork of Firefox, give Floorp a gander.
I tried OSM. But the routes were not bad as if were just missing traffic data. They were bad as in " oh, you want to go north for 3 blocks on a road that does actually head north? OK, start by leading south, turn left twice and head north"
I saw some weird routing from Open Street Maps and didn’t know why it was like that until I started using StreetComplete to help making the map better, I noticed some streets were marked as not paved (since they weren’t years ago) and the old data was still there, so the routing was trying to avoid those streets even if they were perfectly viable now. Updating that in StreetComplete fixed it.
Was on graphene, but the missing payment app really was a breaker for me.
Is that still an issue?
Unless Google approves them for SafetyNet and all their other stuff related to payment requirements (which they’re forcing apps to slowly meet those demands), GrapheneOS won’t be able to shit about it as they’re seen as a security risk (not running stock). This will always be an issue since Google isn’t gonna want to approve them anyway. So unfortunately you have to make the choice to give up Google wallet, but that’ll do wonders for your privacy!
Any Google Task alternatives?
For translator I use Translate You with my own DeepL API.
