I beg to disagree about the disadvantages. An important one is that you cannot easily update shared libraries globally. This is a problem with things like libssl or similar. Another disadvantage is the added complexity both wrt. to operation but also in general the amount of code running. It can also be problematic that many people just run containers without doing any auditing. In general containers are pretty opaque compared to os packaged software which is usually compiled individually for the os.

This being said, systemd offers a lot of isolation features that allows similar isolation to containers but without having to deal with docker.

Not a big fan of Bezos though.

I ran an XMPP network based on prosody and used snikket on android. Can recommend!

https://sqlitebrowser.org/ is great or aSQLiteManager for android

That’s actually a good point. Will need to think about server location and GDPR compliance.

Have a look at purelymail mentioned by others. It’s almost exactly what I’m looking for.

Exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks a lot!

Pretty nice but way more expensive then simplymail

Amazing! Now this is something I haven’t heard of. I think we might have a winner here! Best thing, I could use it for transactional mail on all my websites for 10€/yr. Including as many inboxes as needed. Nice!

This is something you used to be able to do for free, no problem. It’s only a few of the big mail accepting companies being extra shitty about accepting mail making this tough. Looking at you Microsoft. So a few hundred mails per month is ridiculous both on storage, bandwidth and CPU consumption.

I specifically want to not deal with deliverability beyond the content and volume of my mails.

Yeah, sorry it’s not a precise term. I mean a non asshole company.

Thanks but that’s not what I’m looking for. I need to send mails only.

Mostly that they respect the privacy of my users and that they don’t have shady business practices that want to push you towards an over-expensive paid tier.

What should notifications be like instead?

Rocket.chat could be an option

Apparently it did. I only remember the three button version. Anyways, it was before its time. Now with the custom keyboard craze, it seems to fit perfectly. Then again, if I wait another 2 years, the chinese will provide me the thing for a quarter of the price.

How much does a display cost? Reminds me of that keyboard that never materialised line 20 years ago by ArtLebedev.

Not true about xmpp in general. There are modern clients out there.

What’s your problem with xmpp?
