  • It’s a privacy activist stance, privacy and security are always at a constant battle. There was a post about it a few weeks back, every attempt at security compromises privacy, because private info is the easiest way to lock security down, so it’s always the route that companies take. Personally I don’t think a corporation should have to risk their company over it, but I don’t think a company that isn’t privacy oriented should pretend to be. It’s misleading. I give them credit that they might be good for privacy but, the entire operation gets undermined when in order to sign up, it tries to force you into giving information that could identify you. The less information needed the better, and the less you can tell overreachers. If you don’t have the information you don’t have the information. That’s signals motto, it’s also Mullvads motto, and its the direction that proton runs in if you can find your way through it’s hoops.






  • Can you tell me which endpoint/region that you used? Cuz I just tried using a VPN endpoint from Switzerland Sweden and Ukraine and all three of them brought up a requirement to have a verification email

    edit: disregard apparently it was a browser issue, switched from Firefox to Chrome and reconnected to a Switzerland endpoint and it let me solve a captcha instead of using email verification system

    Strangely it sounds like that’s correct. I was under the understanding that depends_on cared about it past start as well but it does not. It doesn’t look like there’s a native way of turning containers that are depending on one another when you turn the dependency off. It looks like the current recommended way of doing it is either with a Docker compose file (which doesn’t help if the process crashed/was concidered unhealthy), or having a third party script on the host monitor the dependencies and if one is considered offline, it turns the dependees off.

    Looking into it the concern has been approached twice now on the GitHub page, however every time that it’s been brought up it’s been closed for stale because nobody ever replies to the question


  • Proton does require you to have a dedicated phone number or email to sign up though, like that was my main thing that swayed me away from making a protonmail account was when I went to sign up I was met with a phone number requirement and I’m like “oh well this isn’t going to be helpful”

    They claim it’s to prevent abuse of the service, and that it’s only the cryptographic hash which can be used to find out if the email has been used on an account before. But I dislike that it requires even going that info

    ammendum: apparently this restriction may be based off of your region used and browser. I was able to finally successfully create an account using Chrome, but Firefox exclusively gave me email or phone number requirements

    I’ve never heard of komodo, I’ve heard a lot about Watchtower but I found it more annoying to set up due to its labeling systems. Is there any added benefit for Komodo over using a standard watch tower setup?

    I haven’t set up either of them, but my main concern is having a breaking change be automatically updated

    I’ve never used true nass, but I’ve never had any issue with keeping up with releases. I use a proxmox host with Debian containers mostly, and then I use ansible to do any major changes to the hosts such as replacing certificates or upgrading the packages

    Being said my backup structure isn’t the most professional, I have a 8 TB external drive that I keep plugged in via USB and I have proxmox backup server on the same host and it creates backups nightly


  • It looks like that is how they’re currently implementing it, they are sending to the providers as well but this is how they’re doing it with the app itself currently. So you are correct if you’re using anything that isn’t Google messages currently it doesn’t do anything

    I’m expecting this technology to eventually evolve to have a setting where it detects if the person you’re sending to is currently on a technology that supports it and will warn you, like how the RCS system currently Works


  • I have an unpopular opinion in this it seems.

    Like to me it’s an obvious feature, the ability to delete after sending is standard on every other IM style tech out there. It makes sense RCS will have it as well.

    Just from a comvienence point of view it would be amazing to have. Talked to them in person? OK I’ll delete this since o longer needed. Sent the wrong item? I’ll just delete it. Autocorrect fucked up and sent something atrocious to your significant other? Believe it or not, delete and try again.

    Sure it could have issues with preserving court evidence but, they could also just screenshot or have something that logs messages.

    Also looking at the implementation it looks like it’s still going to show evidence that something was deleted much like how Facebook has it, where it says a message was deleted so it can still be used as this is where the evidence was, but they deleted it.

    And judging by the fallback message shown, it’s also entirely possible that it will be a setting much like how the RCS setting is, where you can toggle if it deletes or not.
