@nanoelquant I'm just using it since 36 and it's really stable. The only issue is that it sometimes doesn't connect to my Bluetooth headset until I redo pairing. But Bluetooth is the weak point of Linux in general 😂

Protonmail is okay as an alternative to gmail and the likes for personal use-case. Not a good service for journalistic and activistic use though

@fosserytech @fedora @keepassxc @libreoffice @protonmail @protonvpn Good list. I would add Trisquel for me as far as distros go.

@altair222 @fosserytech for activist and journalistic case (hoping you have Android instead of iOS) would be Signal, or Molly which is hardened Signal Fork, Session, or Briar.Not too sure about PC.

@AnonymousEntity @altair222 I would recommend custom roms instead of regular Android for real privacy. Android's new "Privacy" Sandbox is a scam.And using Signal with VOIP if they must

@PublicLewdness I don't know much about Trisquel because it isn't really compatible with my device. I had some audio issues even on VM. Same with other libre distros. Maybe my next machine will be a ThinkPad to try them out.

@altair222 you said Protonmail was nice but not good enough for journalistic or activistic needs. I'm curious what would be? What services, I mean.

@nihilistic_capybara @fedora @keepassxc @librewolf @libreoffice @protonmail @protonvpn I think each email and cloud providers can do that. When you use any of those you have to trust them with your data. If you're concerned about that, the only solution is self-hosting. Proton Mail is still the best option for those who can't self-host.

@fosserytech @nihilistic_capybara they can only hand over the data they have, like IP-address and any registration/payment details or the Subject Line. The Mailbox, after the eMails are stored are E2EE, so nobody can get to it. Incoming and Outgoing Emails which are not E2EE can be scanned for Malware and other things, so are susceptible to interception. It depends on your use-case.

@fosserytech @nihilistic_capybara nobody including Proton can read any eMail which is E2EE - with the exception of the Headers, Date/Time, Sender/Recipient and Subject Line. If you are not a criminal, that should be no reason to be overly-concerned.

@nihilistic_capybara @fosserytech must be, unless there was an interception order and plain eMails checked before they where encrypted on receipt. Plus any foreign territory has to go through the Swiss justice-system.

@fosserytech @nihilistic_capybara @fedora @keepassxc @librewolf @libreoffice @protonmail @protonvpn There isn't rly any good way to self-host email, especially when you also want to send. Receive sure, there are options, but sending emails from self-hosted server is almost undoable without all of your emails ending up in spam.

@nihilistic_capybara @fosserytech this is as safe as eMail gets, for anything else use a Messenger like Signal or Threema or Briar etc.

@nihilistic_capybara @fosserytech another option is to use a normal eMail provider and using PEP https://www.pep.security/ - but recommend to create/use your own 4096 keys, as they only provide 2048.

@fosserytech @protonmail @protonvpn @libreoffice @librewolf @keepassxc @fedora#Protonmail does not #encrypt the subject line like #Tutanota. other than that, it's a better solution than many free or non encrypted #email providers.I find #openSUSE a very stable and a rock solid #linux #distro. To me, it's a battle tested heavy duty prosumer commercial grade distro. I'm a gui dependent user, so openSUSE is quite accommodating for those who don't know CLI commands.#Tumbleweed is also a rolling release with bleeding edge tech. Yet, it's very stable, very solid. very fast, very flexible. very.....😃#Librewolf is a great browser. However, one thing I would like to see is, its option to disable 3rd party cookies. there is no native #browser way of disabling 3rd party #cookies aside from installing #ublock origin or #umatrix extension.#SPN (Safing Private Network) a vpn service that can provide simultaneous multiple identities per app and onion routing paths, https://safing.io.

@nihilistic_capybara @fosserytech yes and your whole Mailbox is not encrypted, only select eMails with other PGP users including ProtonMail. It does not work with Tutanota, as it does not support PGP

@nihilistic_capybara @fosserytech Exactly, our encryption cannot be bypassed, and all the content stored encrypted on our servers remains inaccessible to us: https://protonmail.com/security-details. Therefore, we are not able to share it with third-parties in an unencrypted format.We only have access to certain metadata which we need for the service to work properly and to prevent abuse and illegal activity. Our threat model is public, so check if it fits your needs: https://proton.me/blog/protonmail-threat-model.
