Can someone suggest me good alternatives to both Microsoft's mailing system (Outlook, etc.), and to Github, just in case?
For Outlook as an E-Mail client: I like Claws-Mail or just standard Thunderbird.
For Outlook as an E-Mail Service: Either Self-Host or find a good provider (I have a small German company where I pay 1€/month and get great service)
As an GitHub alternative, I use sourcehut. The link is sr.ht btw
Self hosting email is HARD if you aren't an expert but I figured it out. It took a while to get it stable and usable but man it has felt so good being in control of my email. Worth the effort. I use mailu, which is docker based. Works great.
I use Codeberg.
Edit: fixed the link.
Link errors out when I try to open it
https://codeberg.org/
They're annoyingly only allowing open source repos and active forks etc..
I use posteo.de, rarely with the web interface though, I use software clients for email
Thunderbird, Mailo, Codeberg
