@Tutanota Is the 50% off only for new users? I've just switched to Tuta a couple of weeks ago and subscribed for Revolutionary for 1 month :( .

I could've waited and got a year subscription instead.

It's the same thing for me. I could have waited too.

@weirdfoodie @Tutanota I hope they'll extend the offer to the existing users. At least the ones who recently joined.

@Khwarezm

I paid the regular price of €36 per year. It worked out to around CA$4.95 per month the day I got it. I said "the day I got it" because of the fluctuation in exchange rates.
That I can afford.

@Tutanota I’m buying hardware so I can self-host my own services. That’s the only way to be truly sovereign.

@Tutanota Have started self-hosting a while ago! Both laptop and raspberry pi are Linux ( #fedora and #dietpi ) My main social media are #mastodon and #lemmy . Main search engine is a self-hosted #searxng . And most importantly, just paid for a 1 year Revolutionary membership for #TutaMail ;)

@Tutanota Becoming digital sovereign is more of a marathon than a sprint. I switched a lot of services in the last year. The next project is a google free smart phone.

@Tutanota ohhh pick me pick me! 😆 switching to and/or using more decentralised p2p networking applications AND using local first LLM's (LM Studio) and local device applications like Obsidian, and connecting my agentic clients (hermes and open claw) to my local LLM's stored on my hard drive. Also, I don't send emails really anymore from free email accounts on gmail etc., I pay now for protonmail and tuta subs for my email communications and use these clients as my main send and receive accounts.

@Tutanota Well, I myself have been rather busy working on estabilishing tether.monster and other EU-based privacy-friendly 'alt services' for my users and anyone interested ​​ been rather happy with my recent full switch to Linux too, CachyOS is as friendly as Arch can get, and my workflows have actually become way more friendly now. Recently I'm trying out fish over bash. Also quit YouTube and degoogled a while ago, too.

@Tutanota Already in the zone. Currently running Arch Linux with Sway, completely De-Googled, De-Meta-ed, and relying almost entirely on open-source tools.

@Tutanota

I run two physical proxmox nodes running multiple services (immich, Home Assistant, paperless-ngx, Vaultwarden, NextCloud...) All is secured via proxmox backup server. Furthermore I use GrapheneOS and Signal/Threema. And this was the easy part. More complicated is to convince my friends and families to use secure services. Thank you for helping in that respect! Appreciate your good and hard work, although I don't use Tuta yet!

@Tutanota I recommend adding https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.davidv.translator https://davidv.dev/posts/mobile-translator/ to your Translate section! it uses Firefox's offline translation engine; on-device is as sovereign as you can get :)

@Tutanota ich verwende Firefox, Tuta und Mailbox.org, habe meine verschlüsselte Cloud bei Proton und ein eigenes NAS. Meine Accounts bei Meta (Facebook, Instagram und WhatsApp) habe ich gelöscht und nutze dafür Threema, Pixelfed und Mastodon und einen eigenen Matrix-Server. Meine Suchmaschine ist Ecosia und PayPal ersetze ich öfter durch Wero. Heute kommt ein refurbished ThinkPad und dann geht’s mit Linux weiter 😉

@Tutanota Since March, I’ve been trying to switch to open-source software. It started with the Google search engine, then email, and so on. I hope that by the end of this year or early 2027, I’ll have managed to cut myself off from Google completely. I try to choose software that is based in Europe or has servers in Europe.

@Tutanota please do not use this nationalistic "sovereignty" language, I appreciate how you have aimed it at the individual here, but then you are appeasing the euro-nationalists with the flags and such.
Please, this risks just participating in another petty skirmish between abstract so called governments.
Please keep it to the individual level without flags.
Thank you

@Tutanota I cannot answer because I don't know what digital sovereignty means. Being independent from big tech, no matter which country. Being independent from US. Being everything self-hosted, I don't know.
"Sovereignty is generally defined as supreme, independent control and lawmaking authority over a territory. It is expressed through the power to rule and make law. Sovereignty entails hierarchy within a state as well as external autonomy, which refers to the ability of a state to act independently in international affairs."
If this is the case and I transfer it to my digital life, it means I own all my data and I am the only one who can control it. I have full autonomy over my own network data etc. That means it can never be achieved because I will never own voda or a telekom.
Show threadOkunaJun 15
@Tutanota In the strongest consequence it would also mean not using and relying on Tuta. But having your own mail server under your own control. With your own encryption etc.

I only consider self-hosting open source software on self-controlled hardware "digital sovereignty". Tuta is much better than Big Tech but even my own e-mail server on a rented server is subject to someone not cancelling my contract.
