• I use it daily. I like it a lot. I’ve hooked my voice home assistant into it to create tasks. The Android app is alright. I have some problems with the widget not updating properly, but I think that was my fault for not turning on automatic sync.

  The docker setup was trivial.

• I’m not sure what phone NR is.

  If you get Gmail, you can install Thunderbird on your phone, and connect to it like that. All Google would know is that you’re connecting to that email from that IP. And if you’re concerned about that, maybe get a VPN.

  on I am asked for Gmail in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 12 Sep 2026

• Just get one. If you only use it for school, and the school mandates it, Google is going to know where you’re going to school and nothing more. The school has chosen to share that information with them. There’s nothing you can do about that.

  Just make sure you only use it from a non-gmail client. And zip and password protect any files you send if you can.

  on I am asked for Gmail in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 12 Sep 2026

• It’s probably for auth. Make all the kids get a Gmail and then use it as your identity provider. Way cheaper and easier than running your own IDP.

• Not sure where you live. But Wi-Fi routers are often given away for free on Facebook marketplace and buy-nothing groups.

  Depending on your level of technical skill, there are other options. If you can get a free really old garbage computer that runs, you could install Linux on that with a firewall and tailscale, and nothing else. Then you connect your phone or laptop to tailscale as a vpn, with that computer as the exit node. Then no matter where you are, your traffic is going through that really secure firewalled Linux computer.

  There’s a reason payments processors exist. The relationships you need and the regulations involved are complicated. It’s also not cheap. This is by design.
