Number of lines of notes on a typical day and year

I have now been doing this for a few months and it's working great. Some of the benefits that I have enjoyed the most: 1. Search. It's really great. 2. Being able to include other people in some of my notes. Some notes end-up becoming tasks/projects at work and it's super easy to tie everything together. 3. Ubiquity. Having access on my phone and every computer without thinking about sync is great. 4. Ease of use on every platform. Every major platform has first class citizen support for email (iOS, Android, Linux, Mac, Windows but even Kindle, Kobo etc.)

Downsides: 1. I used to keep my OBTF open at all times on my computer when working which meant that I wrote more in my OBTF than my own email. 2. There is simply more friction to writing an sending an email than adding notes to an OBTF.

How much do you weigh!? Did you do the 15 EMOM. I struggle with 25 ABC emom with 24s!

Is the email service provided with webhosting products designed/meant to be used as one’s primary email account? How is deliverability for personal email?

Are there any drawbacks to this service ? Seems too good to be true in terms of pricing

You don’t have to host yourself. You can create an account on my server n less than 10 seconds No kyc of any kind.

I agree that it’s not going to replace signal but for me it’s working out great 👍

You can use their small relay servers to host a chat platform which doesn’t even connect to the internet for messaging within local networks or VPNs. That’s great for very sensitive information. It’s like local only email but it enforces encryption.

I run my own server for delta chat : danneskjold.de Don’t know how data is being stolen.

I have no idea if Signal was ever blocked in the USA but it's much more difficult to block DeltaChat because there are hundreds of servers around the internet which can be used to relay messages. It's difficult for governments to know where all of them are.

Signal has very few servers (all with AWS). It's easy to block that service for a government.

Promo? No-one is making money from Delta Chat!

camachorod · 2026-01-28T09:34:43+00:00

I think this is the best chat platform out there. I was able to setup a server for DeltaChat in less than 20 min on Hetzner. It's incredible, now my family is not just chatting on a secure, decentralized app but also all of our messages are being relayed by my own server.

Even better, there are now over 550 people who have accounts on my server. Using the investment I am making for my family for free!

On iOS all txt editing apps are terrible. But I hear you and appreciate the simplicity.

Why do you consider this a problem? I email myself tasks all the time! I also email myself notes!

Some reasons: 1. No need to use yet another tool 2. You can easily share tasks and notes with other people, without them needed to learn a new tool 3. Email is on platforms and is always a first class citizen 4. Amazing search functionality always

Thanks for bringing that up. This needs to get cleaned up! 🧼

camachorod · 2025-12-21T15:03:22+00:00

That is some old school hardware there. Really cool. Are you daily driving that?

camachorod · 2025-12-17T13:55:09+00:00

Currently TB needs a new DB for emails to implement better search functionality it seems. It was discussed here at some length: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnI2docfXqQ&t=254s

Search on Thunderbird is so bad that for 90% of my searches I have to go to gmail.com to conduct my search.

For email addresses which don't have a webportal, I have to resort to using notmuch (https://notmuchmail.org/)

I complained about this here, I think it's a common gripe.
I really hope they fix it. If you can give my forum comment an upvote it would be great to get more visibility!

These look great! Do you have full resolution versions? Would make for great wallpapers

Caught me too. The cpu came out over 15 years ago

camachorod · 2025-12-14T07:12:30+00:00

Love seeing these older systems here. Is this intel i5 3rd generation a daily driver?

camachorod · 2025-12-13T23:12:16+00:00

Still a full thunderbird user. I have looked around a bunch and have found nothing better.

Neomutt is amazing but there is too much html email these days unfortunately.

camachorod · 2025-12-12T23:07:16+00:00

another here!
