If you want free, I’d recommend Protom Mail.

For paid, I really like Mailbox.org and Posteo. They work with IMAP/POP3, CardDAV, and CalDAV

I personally like both Posteo and mailbox.org, but they are paid email services.

You can use them for your email, contacts, calendars, and tasks. On Android, you can use Davx5 to sync them.

And on that note, I condemn in the harshest terms the response from communities like /r/linux on the subject. The vile harassment and hate directed at the FDO officer in question is obscene and completely unjustifiable. I don’t care what window manager or desktop environment you use – this kind of behavior is completely uncalled for. I expect better.

Oh wow. That community is just hateful

It lets you have all of your emails offline as well. If you have to reference an older email, it’s faster than loading the webpage again.

Some desktop email clients lets you manage your emails, contacts, tasks, and calendars all in one program, which loads immediately instead of loading multiple web pages. This is why I love Evolution and Thunderbird.

If you have multiple email accounts, it’s easier to use an email client, rather than having to log into multiple websites.

The search function in some web interfaces suck.

Some people just don’t like their email provider’s web interface.

I don’t know why Thunderbird can’t get a reliable, functional search ability. It’s such garbage. I constantly have to delete my entire search index and start from scratch, it is immensely frustrating.

Maybe see if Betterbird’s search works better for you

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work on GNOME 46 yet. But looks like the porting is almost done!

Banking apps and Amazon don’t seem to like it

Try going into the app’s settings and toggle Exploit protection compatibility mode. That let me use my banking apps that didn’t work before.

Self host FreshRSS, use the GReader or Fever API link that’s built into FreshRSS to sync to other apps on your local network. If you want to access the sync remotely, use Tailscale or setup Wireguard. I personally just run Wireguard in OpenWrt

There is no need to expose FreshRSS to the internet

I don’t recall it ever being a dead project. They did have a time period where you had to either join the beta on Play Store, obtain the beta on Github releases, or use F-Droid and install the beta. They were working on integrating certain things and rewrites before doing an official release.

It was a pinned issue in their issue tracker.

The whole 5.7xx series were betas, and 5.800 started the official releases again

If you like Thunderbird, I recommend checking out Betterbird fork as well that adds more features.

Not sure if he would’ve merged it, my knowledge of the kernel development process is a bit lacking - but I thought all the various subsystems of the kernel had their own maintainers who handled merging patches.

Per this:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/2.Process.html#how-patches-get-into-the-kernel

There is exactly one person who can merge patches into the mainline kernel repository: Linus Torvalds.

When the merge window opens, top-level maintainers will ask Linus to “pull” the patches they have selected for merging from their repositories. If Linus agrees, the stream of patches will flow up into his repository, becoming part of the mainline kernel.

While there are top level maintainers for the subsystems, it looks like Linus is the only one who can merge them into the mainline kernel.

They said “Linus”, not “Linux”.

I was assuming they thought Linus Torvalds was the one working on merging this.

Isn’t this a separate package not part of the Linux kernel? I don’t see why Linus would have to get involved.

“Think of the children” is such a dumb excuse that people keep using in the US to pass laws that restricts citizens and are anti-privacy.

The only time I click on ads are on websites that actually have people buying ad space on websites that make sense.

Like… Fountain pen ads on fountain pen blogs. Or Linux product ads on Linux learning websites.

I just actually moved NPM into a LXC container now and it works great!

So it would be okay to run 1 reverse proxy to manage all of my servers? Even after I add more server VMs down the line?
