I wouldn’t say it’s the biggest strain for me, that’s rent. But it might be the biggest increase in price lately.

“If law enforcement is going to look at my data, I’ll give them something to look at” lmao
- Comment on Proton Mail Discloses User Data Leading to Arrest in Spain 1 month ago:
That’s a good question. I know good vpns like mullvad do not and can not log ips/traffic without changes to their backend, I wonder if they could claim “it’s impossible” or something (clearly bogus, but the argument could be “with our current infrastructure, I.e. We can’t afford to redo our systems to comply”)

I don’t believe you need that field with Proton, correct me if I’m wrong. If you do need that field with an email provider, use a different provider.
- Comment on Proton Mail Discloses User Data Leading to Arrest in Spain 1 month ago:
Yeah. Even if they couldn’t hand over recovery emails, having a personal email as a backup to a “private and sensitive” email account is bad practice.
- Comment on Proton Mail Discloses User Data Leading to Arrest in Spain 1 month ago:
This is non-news, like all tech companies, they are bound by law to do this. It happens more than 6000 times per year for Proton. However, this user just had bad opsec. Proton emails are all encrypted and cannot be read unless law enforcement gets your password, which Proton does not have access to. Even if Proton hands over all data.

I have windows 11, and with startallback and directory opus both of which I had on 10) it’s indistinguishable from 10. No benefits, no drawbacks. Honestly should have saved the trouble and not installed.
- Comment on Independent auditors confirm top VPN doesn't log your data 2 months ago:
Others have linked it to you but let me tell you why I like it. It lets you generate a new email alias and password instantly whenever you make a new online account somewhere. Or just whenever you want. I’ve been slowly changing all my accounts over to their own unique email alias that can’t be tied back to my main email. My main address is known by nobody at all.
The main benefits are if someone steals a password, the email address that comes with it will only be useful for that one account. (I don’t need to go over the benefits of a standard password manager.) and so if that email is leaked or added to a spam list, I simply delete that address after changing the address for the single account it was used for. I can tell exactly which address is getting spam easily. 0 spam. Ever. Spam email has been solved for me.
Proton remembers which sites use which email/password as well.
Other than that, it’s just good for privacy. Having a different email for each account makes it harder to track a user across accounts.
These addresses are somewhat auto generated, with the name of the site along with a random word and a few numbers. But if you want to create another email address, you get a handful of custom ones for free with the subscription too. You can revoke these the same way, so you can have a professional looking email to hand out to people that’s not auto generated, without giving out your account’s root email address.

I use Proton vpn and love it. I actually like mullvad more as a standalone vpn, but Proton vpn is still great and I use it because of the whole bundle. It’s a great deal and VERY convenient. The unlimited email aliases built in seamlessly to the password manager is a game changer for easy to use privacy.
- Comment on Independent auditors confirm top VPN doesn't log your data 2 months ago:
Personally I don’t trust companies who aggressively advertise like they do, but that’s not a real reason grounded in evidence. It just tends to be correct. I recommend Mullvad.

- Comment on Finance guru Dave Ramsey slams 'awful' Gen Zers and millennials who live with their parents: 'They suck. They can't buy a house because they don't work' 2 months ago:
I have to buy a house to take care of my aging mom (long story, it’s the best way I promise, I wish it wasn’t), and it will be my wife and I, my sister in law, and my mom with her retirement pay all living in and paying for one house, and we still can’t afford most 3 bedroom houses. Not even in a big city. It’s madness. The 3 non-retirees I listed all make more than minimum wage. It’s infuriating that 3 employed adults can’t afford to house and take care of one single elderly person in the current state of the US.
