Proton is seeming sketchier lately. What alternatives do y'all have in your back pocket? Especially for email, but really any part of the suite.

I'll second this. Here's my setup:

  • E-mail - Fastmail
  • Contacts - Fastmail
  • Calendar - Selfhosted Radicale w/ custom notifications
  • Storage - Home server with sftp access
  • Document editing - Libreoffice
  • VPN - Mullvad (general), OpenVPN (local network access)
  • Mobile - GrapheneOS
  • Browser - Firefox vanilla w/ uBlock Origin

My contacts and calendar are accessed via CalDav, with all calendars showing/editable on Fastmail.

Nice, slick, and Google-free.

Just a head up on mullvad in case you are unaware, the cofounder donated a shitload of money to the far right political party in sweden. I dropped them for airvpn and havent looked back.

Very similar to my setup.

I use Fastmail's calendar and it can sync with my work schedule.

Still on Android. Afraid to brick my only phone with low funds.

Desktop browser is LibreWolf w/ Ublock, Bye Rupert to block any sites owned by Rupert Murdock, and Privacy Badger form EFF. There are several more privacy ones but I'm sure no one cares.

Mobile browser is DDG.
