  • Forgot to add this bit in my first reply:

    This is especially bad since I’m more confident that GV is less susceptible to a SIM swap type of attack since I can disable it on my account which is of course protected by real 2FA (not SMS).

    Meanwhile T-Mobile has shown a few times that they’re vulnerable to SIM swap attacks.


  • It might not be any more private but I give out my Google voice number to people/businesses I don’t really want to hear from or suspect my data will be sold by.

    What’s really frustrating is that some services detect GV (and other VOIP providers) and just say you can’t use it.


    To add to this point,

    I was using ProtonMail when I finally got serious about generating new email aliases for everything. I went as far as upgrading my plan and started setting up SimpleLogin when I ran into the fact that I couldn’t just send from arbitrary addresses using a domain THAT I OWN. I couldn’t even reply to emails to a particular alias, FROM that alias. It looks mighty sketchy to the other party when you reply from some address they didn’t know about with the contents of someone else’s email (for all they know). Trying to explain this to others was a terrible experience.

    I came across Fastmail, saw they integrated with Bitwarden via API so Bitwarden could create aliases (Fastmail calls them “masked emails”), and verified that I could both send from arbitrary addresses using my own domain and easily reply from masked addresses properly. I moved over and I’ve loved it ever since.

    As I understand it, Proton is still working on the sending feature I wanted but it’s obviously not a priority for them.

    IMO, Fastmail + Bitwarden is a much stronger feature set than Proton + SimpleLogin. Which is nuts considering Proton/SimpleLogin’s close relationship.

    If I ever want to migrate from Fastmail, it’s a DNS change…








  • I do:

    • own domain with cloudflare
    • ddns with their API
    • NextCloud in docker
    • caddy reverse proxy takes care of SSL cert

    Or:

    • Plex can do photos too and they have a docker container
    • invite family to your server

    Or:

    • Immich with same setup as NextCloud
