• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proton releases a self-custody bitcoin wallet | Proton Wallet is open source and has been audited by a third-party firm, the company said⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, it needs like a month or two to be built, but after that the most time you’ll spend on it is when you add tokens. If you look at something like the electrum wallet, there are like 3 ppl working on it in their free time.

  Also: Imagine you’re the average proton user. You probably don’t know what PGP is, you mostly use proton for the VPN and you use Google as your default search engine.
  You just got solar and you’re thinking about what to do with the excess energy created at mid day, so you download NiceHash or whatever and set up a wallet.

  Wouldn’t it be a nice thing if the company that you’re already trusting with your mails, data and internet traffic had a crypto wallet? Like, yes, trusting one company with everything is not best practice, but trusting proton with everything is still better than using some random closed-source software.

  And again: people voted for another chat app and a browser. WTF.

  Tbh I think it’s cool, and since most ppl wanted proton to release stupid things like another browser or another encrypted chat app, a wallet fits right into that while being something that doesn’t need that many manhours to be maintained.

  I think this will benefit them, proton is more mainstream than you might expect

  (also, unlike brave, they are a profitable business without vc and a non-profit org, so there are no intentions to sell your data)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Follow up on supporting Immich announcement - change of wording⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I could understand the argument if Immich relicensed to the FUTO Temporary License, which technically isn’t open source, but since immich is still AGPL this makes absolutely no sense

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chinese firm ByteDance, which owns TikTok, has lost its appeal against a European Union decision to designate the company a digital "gatekeeper"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, we just can’t stop getting W’s

  Like the time the EU Commission tried to circumvent E2EE but failed

  Or the other time our EU Commission tried to circumvent E2EE but failed

  Or the other time… why the fuck are they trying this like every 2 weeks? They’re currently working on a new proposal but just recently stopped paused because they estimated that it wouldn’t pass the parliament

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proton launches privacy-focused Google Docs alternative: Docs in Proton Drive is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted collaborative document editor⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, but they’ve recently acquired standardnotes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Immich x FUTO Q&A⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That guy was talking about grayjay, a Client to follow creators on multiple platforms at the same time. Grayjay isn’t licensed under AGPL, but instead it uses the FUTO Temporary License. It technically still counts as source available, but I think the NC-Part is okay to have. AGPL would be nicer though especially bc of this.

  Germany has a fund like that, GNOME just recently got a grant of about 1M Euros to improve features and provide better accessibility

  The only thing I can see in their License that would make it non-free is the non-commercial redistribution part of it, which is not that bad

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨virtualizing PFSense. What else works besides ESXi for virtual networking?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There could be driver issues doing this. I had a bad experience with Emulex NICs under OPNsense, Intel OTOH worked flawlessly. Switched back to virtual interfaces tho, as it works about as good as a physical NIC
