Nextcloud, Qbittorrent, Truenas and loads of other svcs take optional email credentials for sending alerts and other features (eg. password recovery for nextcloud).

What email providers do people usually use to make this process simple to set up? For example, Microsoft doesn’t allow basic auth anymore so it’s supposedly not possible to use via most of these setups, and some other services seem like they have a low inbox size (does this matter?)

    Universiality, basically

    Okay so we’re just stuck with email permanently, forever, even when there are a hundred other objectively superior alternatives? No one wants to be the one to push that needle forward?

    Are browser notifications not universal?

      I rather have an email than a browser notification, email is more passive I can check it when I want to and it’ll be there, browser depending on which machine I’m on is going to get wiped when I close it

        hard agree, I hate browser notifications with a hard passion, I would never see them if they swapped to that.

        It only gets wiped if you use a shitty iPhone
