+1 Have been looking for one in a while without any luck.

As far as possible I try to avoid:

  • All things from big tech because privacy, see Schrems II and their terms on use of personal information for own purposes

  • Non Open Source tech because privacy or other malicious functions

  • Tech that are prone to planned obsolescence because of special batteries etc. and can't be fixed with for example a custom ROM on Android

+1 Organic Maps and also Osmand. Both are on F-droid app store.

I know I am way out there. But is it possible that actual human interaction could have a positive effect on loneliness?

Thanks for the reply and the technical details. And great to hear that hosting your own mail is still possible for us mere mortals. That's the world I want to live in!

And you can always change career path if something else is seems more interesting at a later time. I did at a relatively late age and know of plenty of other people who did the same. It's never too late to try something else if the first thing doesn't works out.

Well of course, sir. Anyone interested in knowing more about how the total surveillance of all us is possible can read more on the Edward Snowden revelations on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Snowden?wprov=sfla1 and The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/the-nsa-files.

Microsoft is a privacy nightmare though.

If you care at all about privacy I wouldn't reccomned M365. Because: Schrems II and MS use your information for their own purpose, and in effect is not compliant with fx GDPR.

Yes, it's from Speak no Evil (2022). Normally horror movies don't do much for me, but that one stuck.

"Because you let us". Seriously regret seeing that movie.

Hi. Do you have some documentation for the unencrypted mail part? Doesn't sound very GDPR compliant depending on the information sent, off course.
