Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Selfhosting. (But I recognize that that is not an option for everyone.)

I want to do this. Do you know of any good VPS provider in a privacy-respecting jurisdiction that allows this?

[–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 2 points 17 hours ago

I'm using Hetzner in Germany. Need to message them to say you want the relevant ports opened (spam protection measures), happens within an hour usually.

I quite like their service, but of course use full disk encryption etc

Proton mail is pretty good. And they have a trustworthy VPN service.

Update: I officially rescind my statement. Do not use Proton.

Are there any alternatives with similar features?

[–] Little8Lost@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

Tutanota & fastmail get reccomended often lately (i still need to check them out) Posteo is good too but they have only paid options (1€+)

[–] febra@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

Get mullvad if you want a good VPN provider. Get tutamail if you want a good email provider.

I'd rather those were opt-in anyway. Just have a box you can tick for "cultural awareness events" or something.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

I mean okay to choice, but why do you care on this? Who gives a shit? As long as they aren't adding national donut day and frivolous shit shit like that.

[–] Tanoh@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Some like to keep their calendars clean, which should be their choice. There is already a setting for showing national holidays, they could just expand that
