I will add it to the list of solutions.
Hah, I wonder how badly I will dissapoint everyone if I just pay for the basic tier of my email provider.

That seems like the route I need to take, get a domain name and just use a mail service.
It might be time I start working on a personal website.
I will take a look once it is up again!
Yeah, I think getting my own domain is the first step I have never taken. Closest thing to web development I have done is a Neocities I have not messed with since getting an account.
Hell yes!! I have been using Freetube to watch Youtube without using a browser, and it is awesome. I have started using yt-dlp to pull videos I want to watch on my TV, such as The Repair Shop when they put out full episodes.
But, I have been doing it manually, and serving it using Jellyfin, which does not organize channels well.
This is so much better!
Looking at the pricing for all the recommendations I got, it really is cheap. Like, a tiny fraction compared to what I spend on a single yearly subscription to anything.
Needing an extra service to forward emails seems to defeat the purpose of having everything local. Everything I read about email, being clear-text and whatever, makes it so it is impossible to improve. Email is a dead end, so I probably don't actually want to get too involved with it the more I learn.
I mean, growing up I really thought the internet would become a way to connect directly to people, computer to computer interaction. Everything requires an intermediate service, making everything insecure and expensive. What a stupid future.
Fuck them. Even after completely degoogling they still manage to fuck everyone over.
Yeah, ProtonMail does that so it can force them to pay to be logged in to multiple accounts at once, which is really frustrating. I mean, the business model makes sense, but damn, I only got 2 email addresses, I don't know what I would do with 10.
For sure, if I am asking this question, there must already exist a reasonble solution.
Some dreams are born dead.
Right. One of the articles someone linked basically explained this limitation. So, privacy is kind of an illusion, or a half-true marketing gimmick.
