Honestly I'll still be using Proton and recommending it because it's just good and a net benefit for everyone, but goddammit Andy you should've taken Swiss neutrality to heart this time and not said anything.
Honestly, building a mail server isn't that hard if you aren't afraid of the command line.
Lol wut. All veteran sysadmins know email servers are like the hardest servers to maintain n
Email delivery and spam are fucking hard.
Most orgs just outsource it for this reason.
True, but what you should really be afraid of these days are spam filters and hackers. As much as I'd love to selfhost my own mail server, IMHO it's just not worth the risk of important emails getting flagged as spam (both outgoing and incoming), or losing control of accounts due to a zero day attack or other means. The latter might sound far-fetched but I just saw it happen firsthand to a friend. The modern internet is a battleground!
Email is far too important to be set up in a fragile home server.
Unless you have concurrent redundancy with HA servers and multiple Internet connections, it's just not worth missing important emails imo.
I literally signed up for their VPN last night since NordVPN doesn't offer port forwarding. . . Oh well, I can 30 day guarantee it and get mullvad I guess. All I lost was a bit of time setting it up in all my containers, and any respect I had for Proton
Theres the real problem with repugs. They think they are the "little guy"s
What is a repug?
Repugnants aka Republicans.
Been using their paid service for months. I have so many aliases. I'm just surprised. Surely this company knows its biggest user base has to be too educated to let this slide.
Yeah this really makes me doubt the security of the service.

they doubled down on mastodon (the official account too) but now it's deleted. Here's their comment on reddit: https://archive.ph/quYyb
Too bad, I was considering their service when my VPN service ran out. Not excluding them outright, but will have to keep a eye on it.
Me too. This is disappointing. I think I'm gonna go with Mullvad or Mozilla now.
I've been de-googling and setup my proton mail last week. I'll look for other options.
Fox and Roku, everyone's two favourite small companies!
He went after big tech as a punishment for fact checking the bullshit coming from his administration and his followers. That was it.
Now that all big tech has turned away from democrats (probably as punishment for their antitrust lawsuits), we will see a much different perspective from the Trump administration.
If for "little guys" Proton CEO intends minors, we are cooked 🤦

Fuck me, I now feel like a clown for taking advantage of that lifetime subscription I bought a couple of months back.
well at least they won't get any money for it
Why can't we have nice things?
well this makes me slightly less fomo'd after going for tuta and mullvad- but i'm probably jinxing it rn ;-;
Is he right about the start of the anti-trust action ?
