We’ve been using KitchenOwl (on f-droid) for a few months and we’re hapoy with it.

Just a reminder: with Proton you can’t use IMAP for your email client, you either need their mail client (mobile) or bridge app (desktop).

I haven’t played enough pathfinder to be able to answer your question, sorry.
Also, I was wrong, see the other comment for correction.

I stand corrected, I didn’t know they changed it that way. Thanks for the update :)

Iirc it’s more of a lexical change: until now, half-something automatically assumed the other half was human, making the human race central in the setting. To allow for more liberty, most (all?) humanoid species will become interbreedable and you can choose the traits from one ancestry or the other.

Thanks for the info!

Is there some drama I’m not aware of here?

Been using Deltachat for about a year, so far so good. I dunno how secure it really is (never took the time to check) but it’s been reliable. Multi-device was kinda quirky at first but has gotten better.

OVH because cheap enough for me, europe based and reliable.

I guess it depends on the area. In France, airbnbs are usually cheaper than hotels (especially if you’re 2 or more). Plus having a kitchen means saving quite a lot on food compared to having to eat at restaurants or takeouts.

Yep, they let you create your account with just an email address, and once you’ve joined a few servers and started using discord they’re like “oh btw give us your phone number too, you won’t have access to anything until you do”.

Outside, why wear a hat if no one can see it ?

I’ve been using DeltaChat (available on F-Droid) for a few months now.

What I like about it is that because it’s email based, it uses OpenPGP for encryption, making it easy to have compatibility with other email-based solutions.

If you want to go the extra-secure route, you and your contacts can even self-host your emails - as long as you’re not going to send messages to people on Gmail or other big providers, you can avoid your messages being treated as spam.

The multi-device support is still a bit rough around the edges, but has gotten better in the last few months since the app is under active development.

Pretty much all the basics are covered, here are some examples:

• Newpipe for videos and music
• FairEmail for email
• Organic Maps for maps and routes
• Aves Libre for gallery
• lots of privacy-oriented instant messaging apps (I use DeltaChat)
• Jerboa for lemmy
• plethora of calendars, todo apps, calculators, keyboards…
• some games

And then of course all you power-ish user stuff (alternate launchers, clients for self-hosted clouds and stuff, terminal emulators…)

I might be wrong, but for me OP is not trying to actually run email, rather have a staging ground that pulls all emails from their accounts on actual providers, apply some treatment to said emails and pull them from client-side apps on their devices.

I haven’t tried any of the following, just my 0.02.

Idea0: is there any way to install your instance without using the setup wizard ?

Idea 1: installing and older version (below 6.x) and upgrading it to current version ?

The official documentation page about registration states:

When deploying a self managed Rocket.chat >=6.x workspace you are automatically required to register your workspace upon completing the Setup Wizard

According to the same page, for versions below 6.x you have to manually register your instance.

Idea 2: I noticed a few references to air-gapped installations, and I guess they can’t be connected to anything from Rocket.chat HQ. Could Iistalling your server as air-gapped and completing a bogus registration work ?

Official documentation page about Air-gapped installs registration

Hope any of this helps. I’m quire surprised (and not in a good way) to see this mandatory requirement from Rocket.chat. Even if kt means functionality loss (access to their push notif framework for example) you should be able to decline it.
