Proton CEO Andy Yen projects a calm persona and rails against Big Tech and critiques AI. Internally, he is pushing engineers to build Proton with AI, even when they have security concerns.
Anyone have any recommendations for email, drive, vpn, and password manager?
VPN? Ideally one that I can use on Graphene as well as OpenVPN for router. I’ve heard AirVPN maybe?
Set up your VPN through RethinkDNS. It supports both OpenVPN and Wireguard, and you can set up DNS block lists with it as well. It takes some setup, but you can have it up and running within 30 minutes
Vaultwarden for passwords and TOTP?
KeePass also works as a password manager, and since it’s stored locally you can sync between devices with SyncThing. Just make sure to set up the “file versioning” settings in Syncthing to something besides “TrashCan” or “None” so you can configure how many old versions you keep as a backup and for how long before they auto-delete
Recommendations for email? I use FairEmail if I need to access my old emails.
Mailbox.org has plans that let you use your own domain for easier migration, lets you use aliases, and can be accessed via 3rd-party email managers like Thunderbird (unlike Tuta).
For storage, it depends on what you need. For now I’m mainly set up to have SyncThing manage common folders between devices, at least until I get a NAS and/or media server set up. If you already have a server I’ve heard NextCloud is pretty common, it’s supported to be a self-hosted alternative to Google Drive
I understand, and please dont take it personally.
I hope the US survives the policies of the current administration and the abuses of power that are sad hallmarks of the US tech industry.
Quick question. If I released this as a self hostable but not open source project, would you run it?
I want people (like, individuals) who want to host it themselves to be able to, I just don’t want some big company to be able to spin up their own version of it to put me out of business.
I’ve been toying with the idea of a Business Source License release that converts to AGPL after the normal term. I know businesses view AGPL as untouchable, so that would help keep them away, even after the BSL conversion.
Ugh. Again? Really?
Welp, I’m thinking:
Vaultwarden for passwords and TOTP?
Aegis for TOTP if not vaultwarden
Recommendations for email? I use FairEmail if I need to access my old emails.

Storage? I just recently setup a backup on my homelab to export to Proton Drive via proton-CLI to have an offsite backup.

Try out Port87. :)

Looks intriguing but looks like an american company - that immediately makes it a non-starter
Not much I can do about that unfortunately. If I were a wealthy man, I could move to another country. I am not a wealthy man. :(

Probably wouldnt be a road for me, but im probably not a good indicator of other people.
My homelab is dark to the public internet, no exposed ports, no public IP, etc. My domain is an mx only zone.
Self hosting email would require too many fundamental changes to the security posture.
