I am moving away from #ProtonMail and my main reservation about switching to another provider is that when I don’t use end-to-end encryption (e2ee) my emails would be stored unencrypted in its server, whereas Proton Mail stores all emails with no-access encryption.

I really don’t want sensitive emails that I receive without PGP encryption (medical info, personal government communications…) to be stored without any sort of server-side encryption.

So I’m wondering if it exist some tool that encrypts emails saved in a mailserver even when they are not end-to-end encrypted. Something like @cryptomator, but for emails.

Thoughts? Tips?

(@thunderbird is the main client I would be using)

Edit: someone suggested Posteo, but I have to use my own custom domain, and Posteo does not allow it.

#Proton confirmed on #Telegram :

Drive client for #Linux is coming!

Great news for privacy-conscious users.

Proton offers solid tools (#Email service, #Password Manager, #Cloud storage, #VPN …), but remember - diversify your #privacy stack.

Proposed Swiss encryption laws may have a severe impact on VPNs – what you need to know

Proton VPN, NymVPN, and Threema are taking a stand

Specifically, the change would require these companies to collect identification from people using their services, alongside demanding a backdoor on encrypted content.

For example, an association running a mastodon server would have to identify users if it exceeded 5,000.

To those concerned about the unsettling consultation in Switzerland on encryption, don’t be too afraid. I personally know that #Threema is fighting hard behind the scenes alongside other businesses such as, #Proton, #Tresorit and others.

Blending together a collectible card game, roguelike, and turn-based strategy game Deathless. Tales of Old Rus looks like a must-have for fans of titles like Slay the Spire. Now it should be a better fit on Steam Deck too.

Auch die #Schweiz schnüffelt gern.

Die geplante Ausweitung staatlicher #Überwachungspflichten in der Schweiz sorgt für Kritik. Proton-Chef Andy Yen warnt vor einem „wirtschaftlichen Selbstmord“ und droht mit Verlagerung ins Ausland. Das geplante Gesetz zwinge auch kleine Unternehmen zu unverhältnismäßigen Maßnahmen wie #Vorratsdatenspeicherung und 24/7-Pikettdienst.

"There is virtually no difference between digital sovereignty and true sovereignty"

In a op-ed published in Le Monde (French daily newspaper) this morning, Andy Yen, CEO of Swiss technology company Proton argues that Europe's reliance on foreign technology is undermining its sovereignty and economic independence.

He writes:

"Reducing our dependence on American and Chinese technologies is the first step towards regaining our sovereignty. If we require our schools and universities to stop buying American technologies, we will stop tying our children's future to these ecosystems. By stimulating demand for European technologies, we are promoting the creation of well-paid jobs here in Europe. These would be European companies that would pay their taxes in Europe, support our social protection systems, and fill public deficits. It is an investment in our collective future."

This goes beyond a simple boycott.

Squirrel with a gun is a thoroughly enjoyable #game. Just found out #steam can run it just fine on #Linux using #proton.

Welche Protonschicht nutzt ihr in Steam, um nicht Linux-Spiele zu zocken.

Bis auf 3DMark laufen bei mir alle Spiele mit Proton Hotfix. 3DMark hatte ich aber schon mal mit einer anderen Protonversion zum laufen gebracht.

is really going crazy.

I‘m really satisfied with the fps, but those vertex explosions made it really unplayable.
Anyway, setting the graphics to low made the vertex explosions gone, but won‘t raise the fps.
Well, at least I can play and so far it‘s fun.

#Datenschutz und #Sicherheit für #Proton und #Threema sind in der #Schweiz zunehmend politisch bedroht. Ein Firmenumzug Richtung #Norwegen ist mehr wie ratsam.
