Requirements

  1. FOSS
  2. No, minimal, or human-checked AI code
  3. Free-to-use
  4. I'm asking for FOSS PROVIDERS, not proprietary providers with FOSS clients
  5. Not under authoritarian juristiction
  6. At least one independent security audit
  7. Lightweight
  8. Low on memory

Optional things:

  1. Self-hostable
  2. Environmental ideals
  3. Under European juristiction
  4. Not hosted on Github

Suggest MULTUPLE providers as I seek to decentralize the services I use ad much as possible

Your requirements are impossible. May as well throw in unlimited handjobs and world peace while you’re at it.

    Did you even do any research? Did you accidentalky list all the optional stuff as "requirements"?

    How can you ask if someone did any research when you're asking other people to do yours for you?

    You don’t even know what you’re talking about. You want a provider (i.e., hosted) who gives it to you for free, uses “audited” code, but uses only FOSS (so audit it your damn self), which is lightweight on memory (why would you care if you’re not hosting it?).

    In what magical fantasy land would someone just give this to you? Shit costs money to run and develop. Your entitlement is laughable. If you don’t like what’s out there, make it your damn self and host it and give it away for free to everybody and see how long you can/want to do that.

    Motherfucker you do the research, not us. You're not "too busy" you're replying all over this thread.

    You're getting a lot of downvotes, but in a better world this stuff would all be standard... Unfortunately I have no suggestions though

    Maybe they're being downvoted because they're formulating their question and list of demands as if it were a ransom note, or a chatbot prompt.

    That's not entirely untrue, fair 😅

    I do wish conditions like these were more obtainable though... It all seems like stuff that people on the earlier internet would assume was the norm by now.

    Rolling your own can fulfill all your requirements. Just download some server software and put it somewhere you trust

    Proton not open-source, Tuta is starting to get vibecoded without human checks
