When called out on it, they then doubled down on this dogshit take: https://archive.ph/quYyb

Unfortunately I made the mistake of really digging myself into the Proton ecosystem.

My current plan is:

VPN -> Mullvad

Mail -> Tuta

Pass -> Bitwarden (not sure if I want to host yet)

Drive -> Nextcloud (Self-Hosted)

Calendar -> Nextcloud (Self-Hosted)

Standard Notes -> Memos (Self-Hosted) (already done)

Simple Login -> no fucking clue, I am dreading migrating these.

I was JUST about to take that plunge myself.

Great guide! I believe Tuta has the simple login functions.

I looked into this because I'm considering switching to them, and it seems like they only support it for custom domains.

Do you happen to know any alternatives for their email? Some security guy on YouTube was talking about how their email aliasing is better because if you lose a single email/password combo, you're not subject to any other breaches.

I mean I already use a password manager since I adopted KeePass like 15 years ago and use Bitwarden now, but I still like that concept.

Posteo or tuta or fastmail.

Depends on if anyone you message uses proton. If they do, you can always get their pgp key and save it to thunderbird. If nobody you know uses proton, there is no benefit to their service over the above.

I have heard Tuta is good.
