I moved to this from tutanota so I could have IMAP. No complaints.
I like the GPG encryption option they have as it's basically what I believe tuta does to their mail by default
The ghost is clear, pick up the paste.
I've tried these but I need MMSes and can't figure out the alpha one with MMS.
I have a pinephone and found an okay one here. https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_MMS_with_Matrix#Set_up_MMS_bridge_service
It doesn't work very well but I can ssh into the pinephone and restart it or mess with the modem as needed. You run a matrix server and its a python script on the phone that bridges messages to it. I hate using my phone so its super easy to put up with. I do wish it was written better.... I've been considering either contributing to the project or making my own because it doesn't seem very active.
Edit, sorry, so, I forward my calls to a VoIP number and I bridge SMS/MMS using the pinephone to a selfhosted matrix server. Id love to bridge m'y calls to matrix too but I can't find anything that does that.
I've been doing this for years. I also bridge my SMS/MMS messages. I'd LOVE to bridge calls somehow too
My W530 won't die. I fucking love that thing. I also have a system76 Oryx and pinebook pro but I find myself using the w530
Don't do that... If someone doesn't know and searches maybe they'll find this post.
Its worth it. Super cool. However, it does need internet to work. It just gets around CGNAT and networks you don't own (hospital, school, hotel, etc) so you can still access your stuff while you're not at home.
Oh shit. I haven't checked since like Friday morning. It looks like where I use to live is gone now. Friends are terrified and family are far enough away they're not concerned.... Yet. This looks bad.
Your router will get a public IP. For example 1.2.3.4. This is the port your ISP is plugged into. (Perhaps the WAN labeled port) this IP is what you want to access from a different network (cell data, friends house, etc). It's important that you confirm the WAN IP on your router is a real public IP. Some providers actually give you a private (CGNAT) IP and its a huge pain in the ass. Going to what is my IP or whatever and compare it to your WAN IP on the router website is a good test. They should be the same. If they are, no matter where you are in the world you can access the wan side of your router. If not, tailscale is a good option.
The other port on a router has a private IP, for example 192.168.0.1. This could look 4+ ports but that's basically just a switch and more or less the same thing.
Anyway, you have to tell your router, if you get something on the WAN port 1.2.3.4 to TCP port 80 you need to forward it to laptop IP 182.168.0.100 TCP port 80.
If this is successful, you need to make sure the laptop firewall allows access to TCP 80 from anywhere. If you can access the laptop website from your phone on WiFi then its pretty safe bet that its allowed from anywhere, unless you told it otherwise.
I like to test public access from on https://canyouseeme.org/
Edit: to add, this will only ever work if you're at home. Each new network you connect to, you will need to access the router and do the exact same thing to provide access to your laptop. Not ideal, and impossible at something like a hotel or hospital. Overlay network give you a second virtual network that you plug a virtual cable into for all your devices, including phones. If you do this you can just use that second virtual IP to access your stuff no matter where you are.
You're not kidding. I doubt this is going to stay up.
Sounds like a normal setup then. Just have CF in front of the VPS. Thanks!
I'm reading about Canadian hosting laws around user generated content and it doesn't seem like we have the same protections the US or EU has. I'm still reading but my big concern is legal trouble because of end users. If I don't selfhost for the community I'll offer to help an instance I like.
Thanks again!
Is there a single source of truth? It really sounds like split brain is possible?
All instances may have their own copy but I imagine the community the instance was posted on is important and need to be up?
