I self host most services: contacts, calendar, git, ..
Agree on mullvad, buy giftcard on amazon.
Tried hetzner, but it wouldn't allow me to create an account. Ovh it is.
I haven't thought about registrars, I don't think it matters for most tld. (Moniker, porkbun)
Regarding Migadu, after extensive research it seemed to be the best option, but man that 20 outgoing emails limit is just so off-putting and the next tier is so far apart. I would be comfortable paying 50-60 euros per year for 50 outgoing emails, but no, it’s either 20 for 20 euros or 100 for 90 euros
Once I got them on a better path, I haven't had any issues. I don't remember what plan exactly, but I've been a customer for a long time, since they were founded pretty much.
0: I host a non-profit and we use my migadu account, since they are broke and I'm too lazy to count the actual number.
I've heard this before. Is this just to add another hop in the chain to make it harder for someone to track the user down? Apart from someone needing to order Amazon to pony up the details ("Which credit card was this Amazon item bought with?")
Is there another layer of privacy I'm missing?
The authorities might know you ordered a gift card, but not which Mullvad account you funded it with.
it won't even slow down actual criminal investigations by nation states and might not even stop a determined civil suit.
No need to share my cc with yet another company.
