good point for the offlineimap cronjob, I’ll take note of that.

I might as well go as far as suggesting to start there with your current mail provider if the local/offline-first flow is something that could work for you (and assuming it’s not something you already do, in which case carry on). Once you’ve adapted to a local-first mail reading flow with any client that’s separate from the “app” or webmail tethered to your mail service, then rest of migrations should be smoother and hopefully feel less daunting. Doesn’t mean you have to keep doing it that way only forever but establishing the infra and habit once for a while can help with both resilience and confidence in everything that follows.

If you’re roaming between devices and places enough that local-first feels untenable then the “syncbox” could be a little SBC or whatever; it could be the machine you also use read and write mail from but doesn’t have to be.

NP and good luck!

No experience with Migadu but yeah, I think 1 account = 1 login is the intended meaning in their FAQ.

At $19/year couldn’t just gifting a separate micro sub to your SO might be a option if you adminning her email feels weird to either of you?

Am I missing something else?

You don’t mention how you’ll be accessing your emails so maybe this is something you already solved for: Regularly syncing down all mail locally means you won’t have to rely on the mail provider as a single-point-of-failure for keeping your emails safe, secure, private and available. This could consist of anything from a simple offlineimap cronjob to a full-blown “offline” separate mail server.

Maybe. But be careful about putting in that PIN or connecting it to your network when you get home, in case you get it back after…

Thanks! Adding Floorp should be straightforward if you feel like tackling it yourself as it’s “just another FF fork”. Adding a new browser consists of adding a new Containerfile for it. I guess Floorp might be most similar to Mozilla firefox out of the existing ones. PRs much appreciated for new browsers as well as any interesting queries to get more insight into data I can run on existing dumps and add to Report section.

They have official PPA: https://ppa.floorp.app/

For Brave got it running but didn’t yet figure out why it crashes as soon as I try to proceed with the onboarding. Judging by the probably unrelated error noise in the console, it might be trying something weird with a graphics driver or hardware sensor and not gracefully handling not having access to whatever it is 🤷 But didn’t even ldd or strace it properly yet so maybe just a missing library.

There’s a lot that could be done but had to wrap up and publish somewhere.

Do you suddenly need to stop hitting your wife?

Went low-key public with our internal browser project by sharing here on the feddit. If you’re a dev, packager, Arch Linux user, or already build Firefox from source, this is for you¹. More people using it becomes a shared privacy win. I humbly suggest that this is currently the most privacy-friendly general-purpose GUI browser out there¹.
