In my opinion, Tutanota https://tutanota.com/ is a better choice than Proton, there are apps for Linux, Windows, macOS, Android iPhone, working nicely together.

A lot of people would suggest GNU/Linux as operating system, my suggestion is FreeBSD.

1. It runs rock solid.
2. It runs on a lot of platforms. Architectures
3. There is only one FreeBSD and not a hundred of distros.
4. It has a very good BHYVE (virtual machine) and Jails architecture.
5. One can run Linux Apps (no emulation!) within FreeBSD.
6. There are a lot of applications, which you can find at FreshPorts, explained at one place and the possibility to contact the port manager.
7. A lot of desktop environments and window managers. e.g. WindowMaker, what can be very slim and usable.
8. It is very well documented: FreeBSD Handbook

Just my 5 (8)Cents. ;)

Yeah, found it. Thank you very much! :D

Okay, I did find Jerboa for Lemmy at F-Droid, lite and nice, but version 0.0.27… 😄

The Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse for business should be what you look for. I really don’t like this company, but their mice are good.

Me too, several times a day. Always something interesting to find.

BTW: Is there a nice CLI App for lemmy?

• abook for addresses
• neomutt for e-mails
• calcurse for planning things (calendar app)
• wordgrinder for taking notes (better than any office app)
• micro for writing plain text
• most as pager
• mc for handling files, ftp and sftp too; nnn is nice for local use
• links for browsing the net
• profanity as xmpp client
• toot for Mastodon
• amfora for gemini capsules
• gopher for gopher holes
• dict for looking up words

These I use on a daily basis. I really like to test all these nice cli software because most of it is easy to use and beautiful. ;-)

Good advice, didn’t know that. In Germany, we really like to use SelfHTML.org – a very good site since the beginning of HTML. But, only in German.

I just tried SimpleX, seems a very nice tool! I even got it to install onto my Linux PC, easy, like stealing a baby it’s porridge! Thanks for the advice.

Still have to find a person to use it with. And to research how the telephony is working with the CLI App.

Yes! Silence! This is what Signal was before all the googleization, works like a charm. The most significant problem is: Where do you find people to change encrypted SM using Silence? I have just ONE fried who is using silence.

Signal is moving away from the SMS protocol, AFAIK. Is this right?

Cool comment! ;-)

Absolutely, use Debian!

Thank you for the link. Very informative.

How about FreeBSD?

Looks nice. But, how secure is it? There is not much information at the GitHub page.
