āPeople honestly seem to forget that I live in Switzerland, where Republican/Democrat doesnāt mean anything, and Trump isnāt even on our ballot to be voted forā¦ā

āThe point is that fighting for a more just and equal society is not just about fighting for the fundamental right to privacy but also for all other fundamental rights, including individual rights and life. When you, as the CEO of a company that starts from these principles, nod positively to whatever action a political figure like Trump, who is known for always flagrantly putting his private interests ahead of those of his own nation, makes speeches about eliminating minorities, hurting their rights as citizens and flirting with Nazi movements, it is understandable that members of the privacy community are disappointed as this reveals a little about who is being the face of a company that should follow contrary principles. But now we really know what āfreedomā means to you.ā
I cancelled my proton the other day, right after his post.
As alternatives:
- tuta for mail
- psono, keepass, passbolt (self hosted) for the password manager
- mullvad for vpn ( actually never used the proton one, I swear by mullvad)
Im still figuring out the drive, thinking of self hosting that too.
Good luck out there.
Besides the password manager (I use Bitwarden) those are strong recommendations. Thanks
Are you happy with bitwarden? Its very tempting ā¦ Iām just concerned about it being in the US, where some agency could ārequestā data.
Unless your master password is stolen or it is just ā123ā it is literally impossible to crack your vault. Iāve been happy with BW (even if it is in the US Iām not American so they canāt even use it against me)
PS there is a European server at bitwarden.eu :)
Why not just self-host vaultwarden then? Since you seem to already selfhost other managers.
