Thanks. Requires root though. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/dev.ukanth.ufirewall
Besides having a go at removing apps you can install NetGuard https://f-droid.org/packages/eu.faircode.netguard and then block all apps including system apps from using network. From there allow only the apps like Signal you want to give network access to. Drawback is that NetGuard needs an internal VPN connection to work so you can’t use a VPN services and NetGuard at the same time.

With /e/os you will also have microG. And /e/os has a new installer which can make flashing much easier. https://doc.e.foundation/devices
Maybe this one ? https://www.pivpn.io/
Using your own domain is a great choice. You should however check whether your domain provider does auto extend the domain name for you, and if not, make sure your contact details are correct so you will get a reminder before the domain will expire after a year.
The other thing is that not all domain names are kind of equal. Some domain names have or had a bad name already when it comes to spam filters. For example IIRC the dot xyz domain names did have a bad name at some point, though maybe not anymore.
Also for serious emailing with companies for example my_name.lol may not be the best choice :-) Then there’s the question where to host your email. For example mailbox.org and Tuta do support custom email domains.
Why not let that email get forwarded to another email account of yours ?
Riseup provides email accounts and mailing lists. Anyone can create a mailing list.
But for an email account you will need to know a friend who can give you an invite code. Riseup is meant for activists though.
Disroot is open for anyone to ask for an account.
Don’t forget to donate to Disroot if you can : https://disroot.org/en/blog/disnews-24.12
But here’s the challenge: we’re falling short of this year’s financial target. Even worse, we’re unable to support the open-source projects we rely on as much as we used to. While donations have increased since 2020, the number of supporters has stayed the same. To all of you loyal contributors, thank you — you’ve kept us going! 🙏
However, we need more people to join. Small contributions make a big difference when more people chip in! If you value the services we provide and haven’t started supporting yet, now is the time to act. Together, we can sustain a real alternative to big tech services (where you are the product).
/e/os is LineageOS + microG with an easy installer available or pre-installed purchase. The interface design is based on how iOS works, for example to move an icon on your phone long press one of the icons and wait till they all go wiggling and then drag the icon to where you want to have it.
I think /e/os is okay for folks who want a deGoogled phone that comes pre-installed.
In case anyone wants to try the /e/os easy installer on an old and supported phone, the /e/os easy install is really much more easy compared to plain LineageOS install.

- Skiff = Notion now, I doubt that it will be open source, but happy to see source code.
- Lavabit open source ? Where’s the code ?
- Roundcube is webmail software, not a webmail provider.

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience.
Making people unhappy
A marketer I know has a mantra, that successful sales are all about dissatisfaction - making people aware just how their situation sucks, and then offering a way to relieve the pain.
Interesting read.

“helped” is very misleading. Companies can’t refuse to provide information they have when served a search warrant / court order. These companies DID NOT choose to provide the info on their own.
You are suggesting all these companies are completely helpless against legal requests. That is not correct. A company should first make clear that the legal request is actually completely legitimate and correct. After that they can look at whether they should provide the information or not.

16·2 years agoDunno. GDPR is a Europe only thing, and isn’t it only related to how your private data (like name, IP address, phone number) is cared about ?
Posteo, 1 Euro/month since many years. https://posteo.de/ Germany based, and you can even pay with cash. I noticed Proton does not allow email forwarding with the free plan. With Posteo you should be able to use pop3 (not possible with Proton free plan I think) and fetch your inbox content if you like.
