Alternatives to US tech?
Alternatives to US tech?
What are your suggestions for email providers, domain registrars, GitHub, etc. That can either be self hosted or is hosted outside the US?

I haven't tried these but for self-hosting email, Mox looks really good and easy to set up for personal use. For something beefier, Stalwart seems to be gaining traction and has more features a business would want.
FYI the Proton CEO is a Trump sympathizer.
As a GitHub replacement, Gitea is really good and easy to run/maintain.

https://madeinca.ca/ should help out, and if you know of more submit them.

I thought that was only physical goods, nice to see a large list of tech in there

Don't know anything Canadian specific, but there's a list of services hosted in Europe: https://european-alternatives.eu/
Lots of these should have options hosted in Canada if that's important to you.

Forgejo is a self hosted github replacement
-
And codeberg is the the hosted alternative which runs on Forjego. It has OG GitHub vibes: https://codeberg.org/

Proton is based in Switzerland and has a pretty comprehensive offer of email, calendar, password manager and VPN these days.

Oh the irony...

I use zenutech.ca
My usage is relatively simple/low and I haven't really had much to compare it with, but it's been fine for me.

Web site hosting only
No github

Tbh, I didn't really even think about that part of the comment as I didn't know what it meant.
I guess you both mean "git" as opposed to "github". I don't do a lot of git-based work (though I happen to be right now) and hadn't thought of the possibility of using anything other than bitbucket or github.
In general are there many hosts that do websites and git hosting?

On the domain side, I use Canspace. They've always been the cheapest around for .ca domains too which is an added bonus. Been with them probably just under a decade and super happy with the services. Just using for personal use stuff.
-
Nice, I'll look into moving to them after over a decade on namecheap

I use gmx for email. I have heard good things about tuta too. Both are German.
-
I heard that people use Proton over Tuta because Tuta, being German, are part of the 5 Eyes, (or is it 14 Eyes?) whereas Switzerland has stronger privacy laws.
-
Yeah, about that...
ETA: Proper article.
