For Mails and Calender: Posteo is also good. Germany based i think

I've been using it for a couple months now, it's been a very nice experience.

Has anyone told them to replace blue sky with Mastodon yet? ๐Ÿ˜†

They are here! @Tutanota@mastodon.social

Here's the post in question, on our own beautiful fediverse: https://mastodon.social/@Tutanota/114133304825556681

The Mastodon post currently has 277 favourites and 228 boosts, against 66 likes and 23 reposts/quotes on Bluesky. So it would seem their niche fits the Fediverse nicely. :)

Amazing, link updated!

Yes! Someone recommending Vivaldi.

It's a cool (chromium-based) browser with many cool features (they even offer a mastodon instance) that one can as easily decide to use or not use. And the company (from Norway) is owned by the devs themselves not by some huge corp or a venture capital fund ;)

Vivaldi is a partially closed source chrome though.

[โ€“] Libb@jlai.lu 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You're right. I should have mentioned it, and mentioned even though I do my best to use Free/Libre software I don't refuse proprietary ones.

[โ€“] Voyajer@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I know there were talks about open sourcing the rest of Vivaldi in the future but I'm not sure where that current stands.

Tuta is way overpriced. Stalwart is an All-in-One Mail Server (IMAP, JMAP, POP3, SMTP) that is open source. If Tuta wants my business then sell the hosting/deployment but make the backend open source.

[โ€“] NOT_RICK_SANCHEZ@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I use Tuta mail for free!

encrypted at rest? zero-knowledge?

If not, it's not a fair comparison.
