great finds, is this list curated anywhere?
Thank you for pointing out Davx blindly follows NET_CAPABILITY… which calls home. I avoid data mining apps but don’t have a firewall to protect from these cases, may I ask what you recommend?
a text file? todo.txt format works for me. with a language sensitive editor I get colours and can sort.
xcsoar will run on your device as a native app instead of a web page. It has maps and will show the received traffic. if you are reading out as gdl90 this was for android but may help get it into xcsoar on linux
If you are limited to signal, its a problem users like https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/7643631 might not have.
Signal ties you into google or apple and mobile operator so I wonder what its benefits are beyond stopping Facebook monetising peoples data.
Good that you tried. Nix simple mailserver is really neat. I am very pleased with it. I feel something like stalwart might take years to mature, but worth watching.

I’d suggest trying FairEmail on your phone, https://email.faircode.eu/, before trying to set up an email server.
I would ask if you have good knowledge of IMAP. That allows access to a unified inbox from several devices and you don’t have to own the server. It is far preferable to webmail for me.
I host my own email server and use many devices all over IMAP. If you need a server, nixos-mailserver is my recommendation. You could then try Roundcube on top but I bet you will use IMAP instead before you get there.
Great, please may I ask if you would share other sources worth reading.
I think previous Linux knowledge helps, just less needed for newcomers; NixOS has been described as capturing others’ 20 years experience for us to use. Nixos-mailserver is a great example. I used that out of the box and only with user knowledge of NixOS, none of mail tools. Otherwise mail servers are too hard I gathered.
I’ve found lots more to learn about Nix for development environments.
You might want to use nixos-mailserver first for production - after my research I was gobsmacked at how quickly it went. I relied totally on NixOS. Your milage might vary but I’d be shocked if it takes less than 10 times as long another way.
I am on the path VSCodium --> Lapce under NixOS for visual editors and to decorporate my workflow. i.e. away from VSCode which is [otherwise] exceptional.
However, Helix looks incredible.
Here’s mine fwiw - no SSO or LDAP but might add something to what you find. My journey is to move from a NixOS user of 2 years and 1 year ‘all in’. I run my own mail server with NixOS.
nixos-mailserver works well for me. The package set runs faultlessly on the smallest OVH vps. NixOS gives me the ability to redeploy anywhere painlessly and the backup need is limited to a dovecot sync. Dovecot sync is neat: with a 2nd identical vps (match configuration.nix) and non functional but services running duplicates all the live mail data with one command.
I am going all in on Rust too. There is a rust based mail server being developed that I might track as a migration in years to come.

1·10 months agoI have started to use Lapce (it is a bit beta) to displace VSCodium which will take time. Just discovered Helix editor as a possible daily driver. Both are in Rust and I run under NixOS.
I am also new to Lemmy and happy to be guided as to good places to learn and share more information about all these tools.
As a random tip:
git config core.worktree ${PWD}Helps view --separate-git-dir repos in Lapce and VSCodium for me.
Another suggestion to help on NixOs. There is quite some demand for what NixOs delivers so any work done should benefit from useful feedback.
