He hooked his laptop up to school servers and was copying all the data on them.

I dunno man, the problem with most private servers is that they’re just that. I don’t know where they are or who is hosting them. I only know where mine is.

How about infosec.pub?

Privacy is not binary. It lives on a Spectrum. On one end you have Proton. And on the other, Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, etc.

These are your choices. There’s no other way.

Users don’t need to configure email that’s kind of the point…
Users don’t “need” to configure these services either. That’s the entire point.
You can either configure it yourself, or use someone else’s that has configured it for you. Or you can choose one of the p2p services that simply don’t require any configuration. That’s the entire point.
Adminforge is Linux tutorials
AdminForge runs a variety of services for public use.
And disroot has not the best reputation if I can trust the few top links in my search results due to its gtc where they mentioned that they would collaborate in criminal investigations as well.
Much like Proton (and every other company/org), they have to either choose to comply or close up shop.

I run several of these services with no company involved.

God damn America.

Email is much more difficult to configure than most of these services. Some of them require no configuration at all. You just open the app, type in the recipient’s address, and Bob’s your uncle.
For others, it’s already available through community projects like AdminForge and Disroot.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 10 hours ago:
You run your own or just choose from a variety of publicly-available ones.

Sorry, I don’t understand the words you’re using. Some of them are peer to peer. Some of them use servers which can be hosted by individuals. Some of them work locally over Bluetooth or WiFi.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 10 hours ago:
I didn’t say without a server, I said without a company-hosted server.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 10 hours ago:
None of them require a company to host a server. That was my entire point.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 11 hours ago:
No. Nothing in their marketing says they’ll refuse to comply with lawful orders.

You’re replying to a comment chain that said “use Tuta”.

Cwtch. XMPP. Matrix. SimpleX. Quiet. Delta Chat. Arcane Chat. Revolt. Briar. Meshtastic. etc. etc. etc.

The difference is that they’re different products with different technical requirement.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 11 hours ago:
they would probably comply with a German legal order
So…why is Tuta better again?

When Mullvad got raided for their logs there was nothing recovered because they don’t store anything.
Mullvad is not a mail provider…?
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 12 hours ago:
So Proton should refuse to comply with the law and have to close their entire business?
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 12 hours ago:
The police gained access to the IP address because Swiss authorities chose to cooperate with the French government
We’ve seen this several times now. Proton is subject to Swiss law, just like every company in their respective countries. You choose Proton because Switzerland has the most privacy protections of any country on the planet (for now).
If you want private communications, don’t use email. In fact, if we could all stop using email entirely, that’d be wonderful. There are hundreds of truly-secure alternatives, many with no company involved at all.

- Comment on Question on TV's 22 hours ago:
what is a TV made today that just has the lowest possible input lag?
Probably LG’s OLEDs. They’re pricey though. But I can’t remember the last time I used a TV with a noticeable amount of input lag, so long as they’re in game mode.
i also didn’t clarify, but I’d really like to not use a smart TV.
Better stick to your CRTs then. Alternatively you can just not use the smart functions (sometimes).

if you take a look you’ll notice several are not bank apps
I have no idea what kind of apps they are. iCard seems to be some kind of CC app that uses Google Pay.

Oh I didn’t realize that. I’ve only ever seen people use Apple!

Maybe they’re better now, but every other one I tried also sucked. Especially compared to the likes of GBoard or heliboard or FUTO keyboard or many other FOSS Android ones.

My complaints are not ones of bugginess. It’s 1. the size and 2. having to switch layers every 3 characters.

I recall Swiftkey being less awful, but with the side benefit of a keylogger, courtesy of Microsoft.
