Gemini is interesting. It's been pretty amazing for developing my flows in TDarr but almost never gets rulesets in Maintainerr correct. To be sure it misses stuff in TDarr and but it's a huge help (my flow is really complex) and the Maintainerr stuff is a lot less complex but it's almost never right
I was really into the books as they were coming out (the first few) but my tastes changed. I'm gonna try the show though.
Proton is secure. They followed Swiss law and turned over payment information to the Swiss government in response to a valid legal request. There are anonymous payment methods available. They couldn't and can't turn over the contents of any emails.
Still spewing the lie that Proton Mail helped the FBI instead of the truth that they followed Swiss law and handed over information to the Swiss government who then handed it the FBI?
Food poisoning is no joke. 0 out 10, would not recommend.
IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot
THEN me and many others will refuse to vote for him
THEREFORE instead of bitching at me and others like me
YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care
BECAUSE my position is immutable
What kind of idiot would want to see a bunch of people dressed in costume pretending to be characters, doing stunts, and engaging in choreographed fights which progress a preplanned narrative?
What do you mean "theater audiences going back literal millennia"? That can't be right.
Men are not special.
There's nothing intrinsic about being a man that makes you blind to violence against women.
The average white person is no better about violence against People of Color than the average man is about violence against women, after all. 5/?
You are mistaken, we do not respond to legal requests from anywhere other than the Swiss authorities.
It is unlikely that one could build a business through ignoring the laws of the jurisdiction that it is in. The mail provider you're moving to included.
The important here is "you are not anonymous". The only question is how hard you make it to figure out who you are. You can't make it impossible and you will make mistakes. Act accordingly.
This is what happens with any provider. It's not Proton specific by any means. Alphabet would hand over your entire email history. All providers abide by the laws of the country in which they exist or they cease to exist. You can make it harder to figure out who you are but that's about it.
First, let's correct the headline: Proton did not provide information to the FBI. What happened is that the FBI submitted a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) request, which was processed by the Swiss Federal Department of Justice and Police. Proton operates exclusively under Swiss law, and we only respond to legally binding orders from Swiss authorities, after all Swiss legal checks have been passed. This is an important distinction. Second, let's talk about what this case actually involved. This wasn't a routine investigation. Swiss authorities determined that the legal threshold was met because a law enforcement officer was shot, and explosive devices were found during a protest in 2024. Switzerland has one of the strongest legal frameworks for privacy in the world, and its standard for granting international legal assistance is exceptionally high. This case met that standard. Third, let's talk about what was actually disclosed. No emails were handed over. No message content. No metadata about who the user communicated with. The only information Proton could provide was a payment identifier because the user chose to pay with a credit card. This is information the user themselves provided to us through their choice of payment method. Proton also accepts cryptocurrency and cash payments, which would not have been linkable to an identity. If anything, this case demonstrates exactly what we've always said: Proton holds very little user data by design. Even under the most serious legal circumstances, the only data that could be produced was a payment record. Our encryption means we simply cannot access email content even if ordered to. We understand that stories like this can be alarming, and we take our users' trust seriously. We will continue to fight for privacy and challenge any legal order we believe does not meet the strict requirements of Swiss law. But we also want to be transparent: no service can operate outside the law entirely, and Swiss law require…
So Proton DID respond to @404media.co and @josephcox.bsky.social hit piece. And I would like to see 404 respond with a follow-up.

FFS critiquing people's food picture composition is whole extra level of self confidence. I'd love one of these folks who think anyone cares about their critique to get ahold of my old series of mostly empty plates that I posted on Insta when I still had Meta accounts.
It's also because folks like @selfh.st keep turning me on to neat things I want to try. I still haven't found my holy grail: a blog platform designed for containers. Hugo is working for me at the moment but I need to bring in to the stack and that's another weekend project.
Really this all boils down to planning. I knew when I started that I'm not a couple of containers selfhoster, I knew my stack would get insane. I should have taken myself into account and planned better. I am still adding and removing from my stack because I'm a lunatic.
Traefik is slightly more complex to get working but once it's up I feel like the plugin system is way easier to work with than Caddy and the web control panel gives an easy, at a glance, view of what's going on.
I could have moved to using labels for Caddy and had a similar setup but the reality is that integrating things like Fail2Ban is easier with Traefik. The trade off is the initial investment in setting things up. It's a complex series of labels in the compose files.
I have rules that allow internal access to certain containers without requiring a passkey but still requiring one for external access. I have even implemented Sablier for containers that don't need to be up all the time. Don't get me wrong, it's not any less complex than Caddy in most ways.
I chose Traefik to replace caddy and there was a pretty decent learning curve but now my stack is more secure overall. I have Fail2Ban on every container that has an interface, external or not. I have PocketID securing everything that's exposed to the Internet.
I was a huge Caddy fan but when you want to start doing more complex configurations having a separate Caddyfile, or worse, a monolithic Caddyfile, becomes an annoyance. While cleaning up networking took a weekend moving away from Caddy took about a day but is ongoing.
It's just a way to organize things in a manner that makes sense to me. Those are my defined Docker networks. For containers that have a DB like Postgres or MySQL/Maria I have a network for that container that's not accessible anywhere else so that there's no contention for ports on the main networks
I ended up with three networks but that's really person preference. I have one that is for everything exposed to the Internet, one for stuff that's internal only, and one for lab management containers. There's no more logic to this other than my personal preference.
The first thing I wish I had considered is networking. By default Docker containers each spin up their own network. This make communication between containers more complex. When I embarked on my quest to clean up my Docker networking I sat down and thought about design.
With 30+ containers in my selfhosted homelab stack there are some things I wish I had done differently from the start. They've all been corrected at this point but it was way more work than if I'd taken the time to plan from the start. I expect this sentiment isn't rare amongst selfhosters.
PocketID is dead simple to use IMO. However it's passkey only so if someone wants a password login that doesn't work. I use it in my homelab with groups for permissions and integrated with Traefik but I'm also a lunatic.
Doc tells me to keep working out so lots of water, probably supplemental fiber, and making sure I have enough protein will be high on the list. It's gonna be interesting for sure.
Starting Zepbound as soon as the prior auth goes through. Reading through your posts is very informative. Thanks for sharing.
Overall everything is better than I thought it would be. So that's good.
Tingling is caused by arthritis. Need to add core to my workouts for leg and seeing a hand specialist for nerve release and possibly RSI mitigation. Got prescribed Zepbound for weight and possibly smoking cessation. Fasting bloodwork tomorrow morning for EVERYTHING. Knee and wrist braces for workout
Also a strip of tingling down my leg from my knee to my ankle. It's worse in the morning and when I do an upper body workout but no loss of strength. Also going to discuss quitting smoking and weight loss.
