Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I've got two domain names set up for work and personal email, but I'm absolutely drowning in unread emails, around 4,000. Most are those annoying notifications like "Your security code is xxx," "Your parcel has shipped," and requests to rate my experience.

Right now, I've been trying out Inbox Zero with an old Gmail account. It's cool, but honestly feels a bit overkill and only works with Gmail and Outlook. I switched to my own domains to get away from Google in the first place!

So, I’m on the hunt for an email provider that has solid SPAM filters and can create a priority inbox without all the pesky notification clutter. Bonus points if it supports custom domains.

Any suggestions?

Exactly how does that not solve the issue? If you create aliases with a logical structure, you can filter all your aliases in folders, removing any notification coming from whatever you can filter. Sure, I understand you hate proton, yadda yadda. But the issue is solved that way, you may dislike it, but saying it's not solved is lying.

Go be edgy somewhere else, but maybe, take some relaxing tea before that, you might find internet more enjoyable if you don't attack people just for expressing their opinions. Or, if you really can't, you might go back to reddit yourself, where you can create your bubble in which different opinions don't have space.

I'm sorry if I offended your favorite company or whatever this is about

Nah it’s just your claim of them of addressing none of the OPs concerns and being a blind shill is objectively wrong and you’e in your feelings about that being pointed out to you.

Mate, I couldn't care less about Proton as a company. I use them that's all. I'm an adult who doesn't define themselves by the company they choose.

You straight up lied about me not adressing any of OP concerns and now are, again, using ad hominem crap to avoid facing the fact that you lied and insulted me.
