A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Serious question, why SimpleLogin vs Proton aliases?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You cannot turn off the proton aliases, one of my aliases (those with +) got compromised and I’m still getting phishing emails on that one. You can create a rule for that mail but you cannot completely disable it. There is also Proton Pass which does the same as SimpleLogin and also stores Passwords. You should check it out as well.

Ahh, okay, that makes some sense. Thanks!

if youre running a full domain, you dont even need to manually create alias' unless you need to reply/send as.

i've found i rarely need to do that, so you can literally just use an email address literally off the top of your head, have it all forwarded to a catch all and youre done. none of this extra service stuff. again, unless you require 'send as/aliasing'.

Yeah, my bad, that's what I do - so I just wasn't sure what the benefit of SimpleLogin was...fully open to admit maybe I'm missing something though.

I basically create an email alias for every service I use and when leaks happen I know exactly who the offender is - which is nice...I guess.
