• Any more info on the armbian image for Helm v1?

  All I can find on the status of Armbian images for Helm v1 hardware is in the farewell message at thehelm.com: "We are still working on firmware updates for v1 servers to run Armbian." I am very much looking forward to having my v1 server running a Linux server so I can repurpose it, and for all other v1 owners to have that same option.

• Protonmail Recommended Browsers

  I guess it depends on which parts they need to be better. From a functionality standpoint I would list, hey.com, fastmail and icloud as better. mailbox.org is better on being a traditional mail host you access using your own client (no wierd bridge app). hey.com and icloud are US hosted if that matters to you. For the semi selfhosted options https://thehelm.com seems like a really good option. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Email providers that don't require a phone number, alternate email, SSN, and birth certificate to register?

  If you're willing to spend some upfront money, a Helm server is a great idea. It's a small server that will host VPN, email/calendar/contacts, and photo/file storage on a device you own and hold the encryption key to. Just gotta plug it in to your network and it handles the jiggly bits. https://thehelm.com/. Source: over 2 years ago
