I’ve tried to keep on top of not allowing ai to crawl through my personal data on various services. Google going through my emails is like going through my physical letters, it’s extremely intrusive.
It’s getting tiresome. I think next year I’ll have a go at self hosting my emails. Email is one of the big things I have kept online and the same as everything is linked to it. It’s like your digital address.
Most users are just quietly accepting the significant loss of privacy, especially nowadays as a lot of our lives are online. I don’t believe there will be any pushback from users, governments need to step in but they are seemingly unwilling to.
Eh, selfhosting email seems to be a world of pain.
This has finally pissed me off enough to do the get myself a domain and forward from there to a paid provider thing. Keep your email address and switch out providers at will, not going to the pain of changing out all those emails only to lock myself into another provider… or even your selfhosted one.
Doesn’t seem to hard, but tips from those who have done this welcomed. Also any non slop, non partisan articles on the setup would be great.
I love the idea of being able to make email addresses on the fly and then see who’s giving my address to spammers and just turn off the tap, which I’ve heard of but I’m worried that’s just going to get me spammed randomly.
