I do use my own domain.
My guides are about my stack.

how about writing this: not your server/domain = not your email

Good to see you again, fair lady of SN.
I'm curious what your privacy/bitcoin stack looks like.

similar to yours:) but mine is simpler.

You saw my master list?
I must say the one place I don't go yet is servers/nodes since I move around too much. I've never owned a home. I've lived in 6-7 places in the last 10 years.

My Zeus embedded node works fine for LN. Definitely want my own server... Either with Debian or StartOS... But move too much to justify buying hardware like that... Just too many unknowns...

Not a fan of closed source tech... Plus I heard their dojo package is basically deprecated it's so out of date.

just tell me how is private if you do not control the server entirely.

More private than using gmail like a normie. Nomads can't have email privacy? I have nowhere to put a permanent server, so I don't build one.
Again, this is my stack. Once I write the guide, you'll see how I do it.

Are they not using encryption?

Proton emails only use E2EE between Proton users so their encryption is a big nothing burger. In any other case (which I assume is most of them), it’s using regular TLS and they can read your mails if they want to. Using a password for E2EE is not E2EE imo because you still need to send them the password in some actually secure way.

See https://proton.me/support/proton-mail-encryption-explained

nd Tuta?

Very solid answer.
Still anything is better than something from Google or Microsoft I hope we all can agree with that.

But yeah trying to get E2EE with a Proton or Tuta account DOES have the drawbacks you mentioned, mainly, who is your counterpart?
