I use good old wallabag for read it later because of how well it works in fbreader on my Kobo. Linkwarden for the bookmarks. It’s not really bloated if you think about how the archiving preserves copies of bookmarks in case the site goes down, and more crucially, allows for full text search.

I wonder if there might be some super common spam tlds like .xyz or .ru or something, but generally, yeah, custom domain isn’t the issue. Some other options are Migadu, mailbox.org, mxroute, and Tuta all seem like decent companies. A lot of others “also do” email hosting, like porkbun and OVH. Plenty of companies host their email with all these companies and have mostly clear sailing without being spam binned.

Not just effort. Negotiating trade agreements with the states have always involved giving concessions that mean enacting legislation that deliberately hurts Canadian industries and/or consumers in return for low cost access to their markets. If they are going to be unreliable, we should not be hurting ourselves in hopes that they will play by their own rules.

Porkbun + runbox here. Domain and email together cost less than $30 a year. You can use the domain for free with GitHub pages or cloudflare for a free website too.

Other reason is the renew fees for special tlds are so unpredictable. Com is surprisingly cheap to renew.

That’s not an issue with a custom domain name, but one of the other parts you run into, SPF and DKIM dns settings being correct and the reputation of whatever SMTP server’s ip address is. No one spam-bins based just on random domain names, or every business would freak out. You can also use your own domain on Google, Microsoft, or Apples ecosystems, not that you need to, there are plenty of providers that will host your email. I like runbox.

Couldn’t agree more.

Most people have absolutely zero idea how much data they put out there

As evidence, I've heard people talk about worrying their phone is listening to their conversations. It's not that they don't care about privacy, it's that they don't even know what's possible. With all the data collection that is happening, the data brokers are already selling a dataset predicting that you are going to be shopping for new baby items and what types of manipulative tactics are likely to work on you well before you talk to your friend about it.

There's certainly also the aspect of simply "nerds who want to experiment." I know I've tried out weirdo encrypted messengers and such in the past, just to never actually use it for anything and delete it. If you are smart, you know the difference between an experiment and sage advice. Boring stuff like the EFF's Surveillance Self Defense suggest the reasonable tools for a spectrum of people's threat models, but those things were all once experiments too.

Does this extension affect other browsers that are embedding safari as the rendering engine? Curious.

Yeah, basically. It does bundle wireguard so that it can reverse proxy services over that. That’s probably what you were thinking of.

Pangolin Is a reverse proxy for TLS/https. Headscale is the self hosted Tailscale.
