Protonmail & Monero both have the motto of "Privacy of Default"
The difference is that if everyone used Proton,
It would be centralizing the metadata to a single legal entity that responds to requests, and controls the web app’s password prompt.
While as if everyone used Monero,
well...
privacy by default
I agree, but how does a private email provider compare with a private cryptocurrency? How is that a relevant comparison? Just curious about the logic of using that as the comparison haha
logic is to point out that proton encourages centralization
and they are not doing "real" PGP
What email apps to you suggest for those that would roll their own? Can you suggest a solid email stack for a debian/ubuntu server? Is there a tool you like for pgp on the client?
For the email setups we do for customers, it’s Debian OS, FOSS Mailu on the backend, and any client can be used such as Thunderbird which has PGP. K9 for android. Also we put on the VPS the web client SnappyMail. Having a web client is less of a big deal IF you’re running the VPS. SnappyMail is a hell of a lot faster to load than Proton, and the tools are decent.
If you want guidance on the setup, where we have no access and just tell you commands, we can do that as well, https://simplifiedprivacy.com/email-cloud-combo/index.html
