      have been using FairEmail and it works really well. I have to admit it is a very verbose client which offers a vers large number of options and settings even as you just want to send an email (there’s a popup with how you want to send it) but it has never failed me and has a very good support for updates and guide for setting it up. It’s free but if you like it I highly recommend to support the developer who is fully committed to it (not personally related to the project in any way). I would be very upset if this project were to die and I had to find another client.

      Edit: link https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail

        Not being forced into giving up contacts nor being pestered for them makes it a winner for me as well at the moment.

        I’m a big fan and enjoy it but there’s a few things I don’t like. That said, K9-mail is currently missing simple features like always remember for simply showing images from this sender and that’s annoying. But I’m really looking forward to synchronicity between clients, which Thunderbird will have out the box and FairEmail doesn’t.

          Not to forget OpenKeyChain is not developed anymore and cant generate keys! So they have to take that all up too!

      My favorite way to use Mastodon. The share feature that resolves the fediverse links is so handy (the small option on the right of the popup after sharing to Moshidon). The official app’s only share option is to post the link, which I would not be doing 99% of the time.

          So, there’s another Connect out there for something else? Or the poster above wants the maker of Connect for Lemmy to release their source code?

        The developer of Connect said they might release it as FOSS app one day. That’ll be the day I reinstall it. For now I’m using Jerboa.

    The upcoming version of YunoHost for Debian Bookworm. Mostly because the latest old-stable version, Bullseye, is already deprecated for several apps such as Lemmy itself. I’m seriously considering to move to an all-Docker setup, but have no idea of how to handle automated certificate updates.

      I assume you mean SSL/TLS certificates for internet accessable applications? I use a reverse proxy called Caddy in a Docker container, which handles requests from the internet and directs them to the proper docker container based on the subdomain. It also handles my certificates automatically, requesting a new Let’sEncrypt cert just before the old one expires using a community made plugin.

        Correct, I’m talking about Let’s Encrypt certificates - specifically, finding a way to port my existing private keys out of YunoHost and into said Caddy/Docker setup while keeping the monthly automated renewal. Same goes for all my ActivityPub apps - Pleroma/Akkoma, Lemmy, PeerTube - which will make servers that follow me freak out if I suddenly change keys by reinstalling from scratch.

    I just found Haiku R1 Beta 4 exists yesterday, and today read that it has an X11 API interpreter, so I’m going to give it a try over the weekend by chucking an old HDD in my laptop and running it natively … if it recognises my old laptop’s WiFi I’ll try it on a longer term basis :-)
