@Tutanota EU based tech is based 😎
@Tutanota Be sure that people know you mean, Open Talk Dot EU ( https://opentalk.eu ).

If you search for "Open Talk" you'll get an app (by, Jeet Productions) who is affiliated with Facebook / Meta. In fact, oddly, if you visit their website (
https://opentalk.club ), they don't even suggest you contact them via their app, but rather, WhatsApp (click on "Join Community, that's a WhatsApp url).

@Linux Thanks for letting us know of this.
@Tutanota I would swap to nextcloud but my other half love the 'on this day' feature of onedrive photos. Sigh. Sometimes it's the small things.
@pheasant_plucker @Tutanota i think nextcloud has that now
@pheasant_plucker @Tutanota Nextcloud's dashboard has "On this day" widget, released last year.

@viktor @Tutanota ah great. I will look into it. I need to ditch Microsoft office as well, so this could be perfect.
@pheasant_plucker @Tutanota you're welcome. Most people that leave MS and Google with a lot of photos use Memories app in Nextcloud. Lots of features.

Memories - Apps - App Store - Nextcloud

The Nextcloud App Store - Upload your apps and install new apps onto your Nextcloud

@pheasant_plucker Jottacloud is Norwegian and has an "On this day" feature for photos. 👀 https://jottacloud.com/en/pricing

@matt brilliant thank you! I knew there just be something out there somewhere.
@Tutanota Sorry but I like my office documents on my drives, I'll handle the backups myself
#LibreOffice is great :)

@Tutanota

thanks for all the years Tuta , and for confirming you folks were a good choice back then...

@Tutanota None of those.
Calendar: Google, since calendar needs to be shared and no one else outside MS seems to offer that.
Office suite: LibreOffice.
Video conference: Jitsi
Chat: Telegram
Chat, file exchange: Matrix
Email: Our local ISP's email. Our godson uses some paid email service (US based) but not Outlook or Gmail. Sister-in-law uses Proton Mail.

Avoid the Russia-based Yandex Mail.

@Tutanota You have all this is Swiss based Infomaniak suite. Works perfectly

@Tutanota Any chance of developing bridge software to access Tuta using mail (SMTP+IMAP), contacts (CardDAV), and calendar (CalDAV) apps? (Comparative example: Proton Mail Bridge.)

Email, contacts, and calendars are all more useful when all accounts (e.g., work and personal) can be accessed in one place.

@Tutanota Nextcloud and I'm happy with it.
@Tutanota
You left out @cryptee for documents and photos; also @infomaniak for full-suite replacement (email, storage, office, more)
@Tutanota i thought the selling point of Microsoft is that it is all connected in their ecosystem with sharepoint ole objects, etc.
@Tutanota moment mal, 3€/Monat und man bekommt noch 3 .de-Domains mit dabei? das ist echt günstig!
@NeunMalKlug Ja, richtig! Wir haben unser Geburtstagsangebot, sodass du Legend jetzt im ersten Jahr für 3 €/Monat bekommst. https://tuta.com/pricing
