This is bad.

Oh no.. Any recs on alternatives? I have been a proton guy for a while
No real alternatives
Doesn't seem like a reason to jump ship just yet. Will need to keep an eye on developments.
For self-sovereign data...
Yeah... But I'm currently pretty stuck into the ecosystem at this point... With no good alternatives yet.
Ah hem...
Yeah. Still doesn't solve the issue of being able to safely access that anywhere. I have the hardware for all that, I just can't figure out the reverse proxy BS.
Cool for other people though.
this reverse proxy, which i modded to also do nip-05 and golang vanity import redirects makes setting up the reverse proxy a piece of cake, just a little simple configuration file and set it up as a system service and voila
i should probably add an example systemd service file to it, the one i use
just added that now, so the main thing you have to learn how to do is put the go compiler on the VPS and read the instructions with examples how to set up the reverse proxy
also, for enabling you to run services that can be reached through it (like relays):
I don't have a static ip or a vps. It annoys me that those are pretty much requirements to do this.
this is thanks to the internet industry not upgrading everyone to IPv6 so we can all have all the inbound routing we want.
this is the workaround that can be used for any HTTP based service, like nostr (websockets are a sub-protocol of HTTP)
the VPS only needs to have like a terabyte of traffic and you can get these for like $5/month
note that it can also even be used to route inbound to a relay running on a mobile phone...
i should probably write a nice guide and publish it with yakihonne or highlighter so other people can do it, it's not difficult. there's a few prerequisites like understanding how to set up and use SSH and your SSH keys and set the VPS to allow the connection and installing the Go compiler and how to invoke it to build the reverse proxy and how to know how to find its path and the configuration path etc.
would be nice. my irish friend who commissioned me to work on indra was always talking about wireguard, he uses it to allow internet routing to his NAS, and i managed to find that setup script and with all that it's really not difficult. even, you can lock the SSH server down so it can only be accessed by someone who already has access to the wireguard VPN.
wireguard is awesome. once you learn how to use it you'll regret not having learned sooner.
Yes it does
Extremely. Wow.
I guess I'm just going to have to make ParMail
"Horizon 2020 in many ways aligns with our vision. First, Horizon 2020 funding comes in the form of grants, and because of that, they do not increase our debt, nor does it give the EU any shares or voting control in Proton AG. Control of the company therefore remains with our team, allowing us to continue putting the priorities of the community first.
This grant also does not create any commitments on our part, other than using the funding for the purposes that we have outlined in our proposal to the European Commission. It does not alter our Swiss jurisdiction, nor can it compel us to do anything that would compromise the security of our product and privacy of our users in any way."

Thanks for bringing to my attention
Bad optics for sure. I wonder what it actually means…? Ie change to their product?
I am still stuck in between a mess of gmail accounts and proton
Gcal is really hard to replace. Plus the gdrive for working as a team. I did find recently that on researching the Google workspace agreement I pay for as a business, there are better rails in place for “spying”. Free gmail accounts are the worst that’s for sure.
So if proton is down the drain anyways, I would opt for a paid Google account as a business all-in
Email. Is it broken? How can it be easily replaced?
Only 6 years old news 🤪
Does this make Tuta a better option?
Us:
"We need communication built around encryption."
Proton:
" We are going to cobble together some encryption around an antique protocol "
Did anyone compare their Drive product from 2019 to today? 6 years in, still no search, no Linux client, no trivial import from US products. What did this money accomplish?
Scary
Yeah... Bad.
Who's the next client to move to?
