EteSync is currently the top recommendation under Digital Notebooks and the second recommendation for Calendar and Contact sync. Both of these recommendations should be either reworded (to give caveats) or removed to reflect the state of the project. EteSync Notes has not seen an update since Janua…

[image] ph00lt0: Proton doesn’t encrypt your contacts They encrypt any data about the contacts , but yes, you’re right, the contact names and email addresses are not. Reality is any email in your mailbox regardless of whether it is an “encrypted provider” or not, will show this data in the em…

Well this is fully right. I have many contacts with just a phone number. There is no need for it to be none e2ee and I take issue with the data being visible to Proton. It can largely identify your social graph and perhaps sensitive contacts. This may be different in one other’ thread model. But ge…

Will definitely look into that! If you know how to a blog post would surely be appreciated, although I probably can figure it out.

That would be fantastic. I haven’t self-hosted anything before so a step-by-step guide for non-programmers would be appreciated. If my calendar and contacts were hosted on my own hardware then I wouldn’t be as concerned with them being E2EE.

I don’t think that would be a good idea. If you don’t know how it works you won’t be able to secure it well (sorry).

Arent they currently focusing on their Etebase backend? I used to subscribe to them but then the recession hit and cost cutting came and had to let them go. The project seems to offer a simple and basic functionality. Does anyone else think they are approaching a feature complete state and that th…

I don’t think that would be a good idea. If you don’t know how it works you won’t be able to secure it well (sorry). Damn, you’re right. In that case I’ll either have to wait for Proton Calendar to mature a bit or make peace with a CalDAV provider that is privacy-respecting but not E2EE ( Mailbox.…
