Tell HN: Why Fastmail is the best email service

stereoradonc — Tue, 03 Dec 2024 01:57:40 +0000

I was concerned about the costs involved with Fastmail email service. There were several options to consider.

ProtonMail is overhyping the "encrypted" email charade. 99% of the humanity doesn't need anything of that sort. Runbox was hyping on its "green credentials". I didn't consider it much thereafter. Hey.com has a cartoonish email interface and their play on the email service is interesting but useless. I couldn't take them seriously after poking around for 5 minutes. There are other interesting services (purelyemail) but that's in Beta.

Zoho was a major disappointment backed up by a poor customer support. Email sent to their support remains unaswered even after 12+ hours. I have requested them for a refund and is avoidable. I considered iCloud+ with a custom domain and Google Workspaces but I was concerned about lack of support on both services.

Fastmail offers everything. I have my configuration set up on iphone and works flawlessly. No issues with their mobile app or any restriction on their alias generation. I have unlimited Masked Emails generated through BitWarden as my password manager.

TL;DR Stick with Fastmail for peace of mind. It is expensive but offers complete value for money.

Tell HN: Telegram is most likely doing client side scanning; I quit Telegram

stereoradonc — Thu, 07 Nov 2024 22:00:27 +0000

For years I have ignored warnings around Telegram being "unencrypted". Though, for unknown reasons, they first banned my account and then recently, "restricted" my account. Yesterday, I had a private chat with someone and based on specific keywords, Telegram suddenly "restricted" my account. While not explicitly "censorship" (or even remotely illegal), Telegram is likely doing scanning in private chats. This was a red line and I quit the platform.

The context of the statement was different, and you took it to a whole different level. A browser wrapper is a wrapper by any other name. Linux is different.

I completely agree. Shifted to Mullvad for this reason, precisely. Definitely not touching anything from Proton. It's Kryptonite.

There's a reason I didn't rely on the WikiPedia! It can be edited.

Ask HN: Who Invented Email?

There are many claimants, and Google search reveals a lot of SEO'd information. I am genuinely curious about how the protocol evolved, and please include references based on your statements.
