  • They = email host. gmail, etc.

    But the mail flow goes into your gmail inbox and is analyzed when it it lands. How does this prevent google from reading your mail received by the gmail account?

    It’s not, but if you switched to another email host, they wouldn’t have the data Google acquired. And if you switched again, the new host wouldn’t have the data the other host + gmail acquired.

    How does Proton Mail Bridge work?

    Proton Mail Bridge is a desktop application that runs in the background, encrypting and decrypting messages as they enter and leave your computer. It lets you add your Proton Mail account to your favorite email client via IMAP/SMTP by creating a local email server on your computer.

  • Because the headers will have all the transport and delivery metadata from your old inbox? I don’t see how this obscures any of that.

    I think there’s a misunderstanding here. How are they going to access my old inbox? I’ll be self-hosting it.

    GMAIL --POP–> myServer --IMAP–> myDevice(s)

    I can switch out gmail, with protonmail, startmail, fastmail, posteo, kolabnow, zimbra, gandi, etc. The only thing I need to update is my MX record and fetchmail to pull from the new managed inbox and that’s it.
















  • I wasn’t aware of WHIP, thank you. Last time researched this there was only LL-HLS which was terrible and when I tried Steam for streaming, it was using RTMP with a 6 second latency.

    However, while broadcast box looks nice, it seems to require significant setup to stream.

    I don’t know what OS OP is using but on Linux, you can start a video call with Jami (or anything really), then use qpwgraph to send the game audio to the calling application. 2 steps, start call, send game audio to call.

    But it’s up to OP what they want to do. It’s been a while, but Jami might support sharing system audio now. Their feature list includes “media sharing” in the call features.
