Father_Redbeard , 3 months ago to Privacy in Fastmail vs Proton Mail

That and not being shown ads in my damn inbox is what lead me to the hunt for a better provider than Gmail. Another I just remembered about Proton that I didn't care for (and there may be a way to opt out) is the amount of promotional notifications/emails I'd get for their other services. Not as bad as NordVPN, but then again I don't think anyone is as bad as them regarding self-promotion. I'm happy to pay for a service if it means retaining some more privacy but mostly get rid of ads but the constant need to upsell was getting to me.

It does seem snappier. But damn, I've come to love Fastmail's all-in-one app. Having calendar, notes, contacts and files all in the email app is something I didn't realize I'd care about but not sure I can do without now.

That looks nice! I tried to my brain wrapped around Restic CLI (and others) and just didn't click for my smooth brain. I'll have to try this.

I did hear about that. But haven't tried it yet. I'll check it out, thanks!

Father_Redbeard , 3 months ago to Privacy in Fastmail vs Proton Mail

I tried both. Proton email client on Android at least was awful. Super sluggish to navigate. In fact I have a chunk of credit with them because I cancelled too late to get a refund. No idea what I'm going to do with that. I already have a VPN and a Pwd manager...

Fastmail has been snappy and I like that the app has a notes section for quick jotting of ideas. I also like that Rclone can attach directly to Fastmail files. They just recently added Proton Drive support too though.

See? This is why I asked. I figured if nothing else, someone would have a better idea than what I've been trying!
That totally works! I'll have to try it more to see if it can do what I want. Thanks!

EDIT: yep, this idea works!

Father_Redbeard OP , 3 months ago to Free and Open Source Software in Android app to trace photos that supports SVG export

That looks promising! Thank you.

I suppose you're right. But I've got this neat tablet here and I wanna use it! That and I want to do this on multiple projects, not just this example.

That makes sense, I'll have to try that. It would be a silhouette of said chicken. Thanks!

How incredibly timely!

I'll have to give it a go with a copy of my vault.

Coming back to this, I just realized I have Seafile syncing my Obsidian vault already. I know you said you're using it for Backup, but have you tried to use it as the only sync solution for Obsidian? I like it so much because of how fast it is, so if it works well, I may just do that once my membership expires.

Excellent points. I haven't tried it yet, but the app Hermit has sandboxing as well and creates PWA-type apps out of websites. I've been using it for self hosted services that don't have and Android app component to them. Works reasonably well but I'm not trying to hide info....from myself :)

Ah Kijiji was the other app I was trying to think of. These are good points. It really is frustrating that so many have migrated to using Marketplace instead of the alternatives.

So your vote is "no"? Got it.
