If I had an e-mail provider I’d be confident staying with for the next few decades, sure. But I don’t feel confident about it and it would just move my problem with old gmail e-mails to the next provider.
And the next provider may not have a “takeout” system. Since Proton has encryption you have to use their client? I remember hearing about Proton bridge to connect to other clients, and it was supposedly clunky.

Not convenient. My computer is actually a docked Steamdeck I only use occasionally in Desktop mode. I know lots of people will frown at that, but I do 99% of anything I do (aside from gaming), on my phone since a long time ago. For work I have a work laptop and I surely wouldn’t want to store my mails there.
So having Thunderbird on my Steamdeck for browsing old e-mails is just not convenient for me.
My small homeserver is part of a backup strategy, so putting something on it reachable via a webUI of some sort will also ensure all of that is backed up. Since my Steamdeck is mostly games and many saves are stored in the cloud automatically, I don’t back it up as much, not worth the effort.

Well this is it! Thanks, didn’t find that in my initial search.

Would that be simple to do though? Hope I am not starting yet another discussion thread about selfhosting e-mail, I know there are different views how hard/easy it is. I guess here its restricted to just the viewing part, which is maybe the easier bit.
Downside I see for this, I’d like to also be able to access this on my computer, where I use webmail only. So I got no client set up. Yes, can of course do this just for that use case, but its again something extra I don’t need otherwise. Also, on the phone I use Thunderbird, it seems to have an atrocious search function. So that wouldn’t feel great to use either.
But definitely a valid idea I didn’t consider, thanks!

A Voyager-like scenario would work. A new part of space, not explored, new diseases, actually limited resources (unlike Voyager).
- Comment on "I know how devastating it is, and my heart's with all of you": Doom's John Romero responds to id Software reportedly losing half their team 4 weeks ago:
The way I see it this is a guy who hasn’t been relevant in ages is still getting his words amplified about a studio that can’t do anything new since 2010 being shut down by a company that owns too much.
Truer words have never been spoken, especially the first part.
- Comment on Why I moved my Plex library to Jellyfin after 14 years 1 month ago:
Controversial opinion and I say that as someone who started with Jellyfin and keeps that local Wifi only, so I admit a certain bias: going with Tailscale and Jellyfin over using Plex isn’t much better. Instead of enabling remote access via one company that wants to make money, you go via another company that wants to make money. How long is the free tier of Tailscale going to work out? How much do you trust them with your traffic? But I know it is a popular setup, so I am aware saying that here will not earn me any points.

- Comment on This community isn't your personal adviser 1 month ago:
I am just sitting here laughing over the fact that this is the very reason people hated on reddit. When reddit wouldn’t allow people to remove their helpful posts when they left, and everyone was outraged. But since we are not reddit here, it is of course a wholly different thing.
Don’t worry, I see my opinion is unpopular, so this is the last I say on this.

It is maybe weird but folks should be allowed to delete stuff again. There is no rule against it either. Make it one if it is something that the broader community doesn’t like.
- Comment on Mina the Hollower is another absolute gem from Yacht Club Games 2 months ago:
Personally, I think people put far too much thought into earning achievements to the point that they just stop being able to enjoy the experience for what it is - a video game.
I am not an achievement hunter myself but calling out others for liking to collect achievements but not being able to because the game devs somehow don’t deem it hardcore enough, isn’t ok.

Aw man, I live in the wrong time zone! Still glad you did this!
Mostly bummed that Hollow Knight was on there! But I am looking to buy it at the next big sale anyhow…
Whoever got Hyper Light Drifter, you are in for a fantastic time. My second favourite game I played the past few years.
