As much as I like using Proton Mail and VPN, their current offerings have grown exponentially in size.

I would highly recommend anyone here to not put all their eggs in one basket. Proton can and has in the past disabled user accounts for no reason. This means that you will lose access to everything you use with them.

Only use Mail or VPN and use other services for other needs.

  1. Mail -> Tutanota
  2. Calendar -> Tutanota
  3. Drive -> Just make a NAS. I don't trust any provider with file storage.
  4. VPN -> Mullvad
  5. Pass -> Bitwarden or Keepass
  6. Wallet -> Don't buy crypto
  7. Docs -> ~~OpenOffice~~ LibreOffice
  8. Sheets -> ~~OpenOffice~~ LibreOffice
  9. Authenticator -> Aegis or Ente Auth
  10. Meet -> This is fine.
  11. AI -> Run something locally

  1. Wallet -> Don't buy crypto

Cryptos are actually usefull especially to be anonymous

Crypto is tracable, and the record can't be changed. It's also contributing to boiling the ocean.

When people say its traceable yea , but to where? For me my phone is traceable but it ends there , its not traceable to me. Unless I got someone stalking me physically etc. Crypto is the same but easier. Its traceable to an anon wallet.

For boiling the oceans , well yea but not near to the amount that the fiat system does.. So I put this in the same category as moving to a cave to escape capitalism.
