(Quote) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj55Zk7oY-Y Good call.

(Quote) Yes. GDPR is discriminatory. For EU companies or companies targeting EU citizens there aren’t options to avoid it. I try to avoid it.
-
(Quote) I haven't found any problems with it over the years for practically every use. Deliverabilty, availability - top class. What do you find lacking with MXroute in particular?
-
(Quote) Looking forward to this. If you plan to sell any lifetime deals (at reasonable cost, with the idea to avoid monthly charges, not to get stuff for free/supercheap), I'd be happy to support with my $. :)
-
(Quote) Asking, not arguing: My impression is that this boils down to provider's policy and integrity - a lot more than it has to do with their server or business registration location. Cloudflare vs Italy, for example: https://x.com/eastdakota/st…

(Quote) Important difference is that Google can kill my account without any fault of my own or any explanation. I trust Jarland and Francisco a lot more than I trust Google. Also, using my domain email - even if a provider is just closed, I can hos…
-
(Quote) I am not sure I'm following you. With POP3 support, I could use MXroute MX and SMTP, and store emails on Gmail. Gmail was working as a mail client + mail storage.
-
(Quote) I'm not selling it, just explaining the reasons - for me and others (as I encountered them). My 10 GB lifetime MXroute plan could serve dozen emails easily for as long as POP3 is used to move emails from the server. Google allowed that, plus…
-
(Quote) You can use the free Gmail app and browser to have your emails wherever you go - without storing the emails on your server (they are stored on Google). Google also has very good spam and phishing protection - but I'm not sure how that fares…
-
(Quote) That is an admirable feat to achieve IMO. When google finally disables POP3 support, we may see a lot more people using forwarding (unless majority are already using it that way). I still refuse (and recommend against) adding more steps un…
-
(Quote) I think this has more to do with the provider in particular than it has with the country. Also, US in particular has a lot of leverage globally. I mean - it is possible that a US or EU provider can easily dismiss a request from Serbia for e…

(Quote) This was clear before Snowden came out - after he came out it was proven (officially). Situation in my country is very similar in those terms (you can get labeled as criminal/terrorst/foreign mercenary) and put in prison - with or without e…
-
(Quote) Exactly - you can't affect how recipient configures their infrastructure to begin with. You need not deliberately add relays. SMTP encryption is hop-by-hop and the sender has no visibility or control over the recipient's internal MTAs, filt…

Tuta mail is a great example of a very, very privacy & GDPR focused marketing: https://tuta.com/security With all the privacy and zero knowledge talk, that can not work outside the closed network of Tuta users - sending outside of it is bound …
-
(Quote) It boils down to integrity and trust IMO. Hell, despite everything, I expect a US company to be in a better position to protect free speech and privacy than any EU-regulated company/location. Could be wrong, but that's how I see it.
-
(Quote) See ticket #CRANE-18478 from 2025-12-12. (Quote) It sounds like this is specific to the US1 cluster. Is there a plan to remediate US1, or would migration to EU or US2 be the practical solution for affected users? What would you recommend?…
-
(Quote) I could not find a cheaper price per GB of storage - plus it is one-time payment so no card/payment worries (even though the subscription price is very low too ($20 per three years for a 100 GB plan). Not super stable for transactional emai…
-
(Quote) Great. That is handy. When will the contact list import limit be raised over 10 MB? Is that a SmarterMail imposed limit or something else?
-
(Quote) IMO, forwarding is a bad idea in the long run. Opinions differ, but that's mine. I would not rely on forwarding as a default solution for my "main" email. Sure, if an employee is fired, forwarding their company email to the offic…
-
MXroute (my notes) has served me very well since 2018. Lifetime well worth it - for peace of mind primarily (no credit card renewals, failed payment worries etc). For a really low budget alternative, you may look into NameCrane's Cranemail (my note…
-
(Quote) In my experience, with an old forum: past a certain point, even if I used the old php version (5.4 was in that case if memory serves me), the available DB version installed on the shared hosting server could no longer support the forum's sof…

(Quote) Best vintage!

(Quote) The real reason I buy German storage: :) https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOfm-3dkqi3/

(Quote) Filen performance when using browser seems to be a lot better compared to Pcloud's encrypted vault. I haven't tested Koofr speed extensivelly as I have only a free tier, but if they managed to get a similar speed, that would be cool. Anothe…
-
(Quote) Yes, it has that like internal vault option - similar to Pcloud (only Koofr doesn't charge extra for it). Did you test the upload and download performance for the vault-stored files (with Pcloud it is unusably slow)? Does it work with Koof…
-
(Quote) Koofr doesn't come with encryption out of the box. For using my own encrypt/decrypt, I find Hetzner + Rclone to be the optimal combination, but that is not noob-friendly IMO. (Quote) Yes, I think so. As @Mumbly noted it's from the serbocro…
-
(Quote) Based on the roadmap, new sync app is going to be built... some day (plan was for this year's last quarer, but that's passed in a few days. They seem to be aware of the bugs and problems - and we'll see if they'll fix them. Giving it a res…
-
Turns out that even one-way sync (from local HDD to Filen cloud) is not working reliably via the desktop app (Rclone and CLI support is in experimental or beta phase at best). That makes the service's use very limited (not completely useless, but p…
-
(Quote) My experience so far has been quite bad (edit "bad" is a broad term, what pains me may be a no problem for others) practically weekly service down with no heads up or acknowledgement at 9:30 AM in my time zone (that is the particu…
