What are your suggestions for email providers, domain registrars, GitHub, etc. That can either be self hosted or is hosted outside the US?
https://madeinca.ca/ should help out, and if you know of more submit them.
I thought that was only physical goods, nice to see a large list of tech in there
Don’t know anything Canadian specific, but there’s a list of services hosted in Europe: https://european-alternatives.eu/
Lots of these should have options hosted in Canada if that’s important to you.
Forgejo is a self hosted github replacement
And codeberg is the the hosted alternative which runs on Forjego. It has OG GitHub vibes: https://codeberg.org/
Oh the irony…
I use zenutech.ca
My usage is relatively simple/low and I haven’t really had much to compare it with, but it’s been fine for me.
Web site hosting only
No github
Tbh, I didn’t really even think about that part of the comment as I didn’t know what it meant.
I guess you both mean “git” as opposed to “github”. I don’t do a lot of git-based work (though I happen to be right now) and hadn’t thought of the possibility of using anything other than bitbucket or github.
In general are there many hosts that do websites and git hosting?
On the domain side, I use Canspace. They’ve always been the cheapest around for .ca domains too which is an added bonus. Been with them probably just under a decade and super happy with the services. Just using for personal use stuff.
Nice, I’ll look into moving to them after over a decade on namecheap
I use gmx for email. I have heard good things about tuta too. Both are German.
I heard that people use Proton over Tuta because Tuta, being German, are part of the 5 Eyes, (or is it 14 Eyes?) whereas Switzerland has stronger privacy laws.
Yeah, about that…
ETA: Proper article.
Yup, there’s a fairly decent migration from Proton to Tuta right now
Your bottom link returns a “This site can’t be reached”.
However, the other day I saw this posted on here:
Does Proton really support Trump? A deeper analysis (and surprising findings)
Loads okay for me. 🤷♀️
That article is needlessly dismissive of the 88 dog whistle, refusing to explore the idea of “plausible deniability” at all, and it completely ignores the other right-wing dog whistles he engaged with on Reddit threads, like “triggered” (which he claimed he didn’t know was right-wing, but at best his use of it shows that he is hanging out in right-wing spaces enough to have learnt through osmosis what the correct right-winger’s way to use that term is). I’ll repeat a comment I left in a Lemmy thread back when this was fresh:
I thought this comment (and the thread below it…and the lack of any reply to it despite the CEO being all over the thread elsewhere) was pretty telling.
It’s much less of a strong tell, but is slightly concerning that he’s picked up language like “triggered”. As comments there say, his excuse of not being in-tune with American politics could be real, but are also possibly just plausible deniability, because he may have picked up on that language by hanging out online with fascists.
I haven’t tried these but for self-hosting email, Mox looks really good and easy to set up for personal use. For something beefier, Stalwart seems to be gaining traction and has more features a business would want.
FYI the Proton CEO is a Trump sympathizer.
As a GitHub replacement, Gitea is really good and easy to run/maintain.
Proton is based in Switzerland and has a pretty comprehensive offer of email, calendar, password manager and VPN these days.
