  • You strike me as a user who’d benefit greatly from minimizing tool counts–this is a lot of steps for what a small pocketbook and pen can accomplish.[Also very little can match the pen/paper combo’s security levels]

    With all that said, I know paper can’t grab your attention on its own, for this reason I overlap with tuta calendar (Which should be a reasonable level of security and convenience imho).

    When you using that many separate techs, it has to almost feel like the tools themselves require more attention and care than the work you need planned and structured.









  • Wow, that point about the public instances was quite unknown to me at the time and explains a lot of my initial frustrations for sure. I’ve been looking into getting started self-hosting but am unsure what kinds of important but also safe tools I should start with as a newbie. I need a guide or ranking resource of some sort. Maybe I just lurk c/self-host bunches for now tho

    I have great admiration for those that maintain public instances, but it sounds like I need to again try to get the self-hosting ball rolling if I aim to truly further the privacy-preserving cause
