Probably because businesses themselves want all their applications connected so one doing the administration is easier (and better) and there is more management information.

Then again, there are still a ton of bookkeepers and accountants (especially in the US) wasting your money on reconciling bank transactions more than once a year when the bank connector is foolproof

In 99/100 of the situations people do not care about you saying 33% instead of 1/3 or 33,3333333333% or 33,33...%

The recommended rate for RAM to TB of storage is one, so for every 1TB of data they recommend you need to have 1GB of ram. Not sure how relevant it actually is since I have a lot more ram than storage on the server, but just something to note.

Virtualising ZFS on top of ZFS is generally not supported and can cause issues. I run TrueNas baremetal and run a lot of docker services in TrueNas itself, you can also run VM's on TrueNas. I know some people virtualise TrueNas in Proxmox, but the only use I see is to host something in a VM on proxmos that you cannot really run inside a TrueNas VM. The thing with TrueNas is that everything is either stored in the datasets or in the config file. The latter can be backupped pretty easily.

I have both a TrueNas server and a Proxmox box with OPnsense running, Proxmox is very nice I just don't see a reason to run TrueNas inside Proxmox.

PE's also want a return ... and VC is a form of PE

Every country needs a more fair tax structure. Sadly a lot of people don't seem to get that here in NL (among other countries). Even the left doesn't really want to fix it. since increasing social security for the lower class makes it so the middle class pay a lot more taxes percentage wise.

Everybody wants interest on their savings or a return on the investment. This is pretty ingrained in society, and it forces banks to invest into companies which need to get a profit above what would be normally acceptable. Combine that with narcissist personalities and the Anglo-Saxon mindset, and you get companies that do everything for profit maximization.

Which in turn causes those companies to grow and buy out companies who do not share that sentiment, which will never grow massive.

It also doesn't help that we have been overpaying for things like hard- and software compared to the actual cost in the bookkeeping of these companies. A lot of personal time is often invested in startups that is excluded in the bookkeeping, which makes for higher profit margins. Plus, people go for the convents of things like Amazon even though it is often worse than local alternatives.

You can never fully replace an accountant with AI, you can replace the assistants, the bookkeepers, secretary and other support staff, but the accountants themselves are never going to be replaced. People want something that tells them everything is okey or trust on a certain quality standard. That's why accountants where introduced in the first place.

But man we are still manually entering data from invoices, using basic bank imports that in some countries(cough US) don't even work properly to be trusted in the first place. Invest into AI in the right part of the accounting sector and you can make millions and I have been saying this from before the AI boom.

Edit: nobody likes mindlessly entering transactions, that's why bank connections are basically the standard now. Same for OCR invoice processing and asset tracking.

Well yes, but Proton is still located in Switzerland and has a decent governance structure in play with a non profit. He cannot just kill the company by switching it’s core USP

I don't brush anything under the rug. I actively shared the Tweet that started this hole BS.

Well fair, maybe I should have shown their response. They doubled down on it, but they also deleted it. Both of the American parties are a shitshow, but then again America is just corrupt anyway. Trump didn't even have 50% of the votes.

Saying "Proton = Maga" or whatever doesn't shed light on the issue either. In the end I believe more in actions than words (and i have faith in a decent governance structure) and I believe that people should take their own conclusion on the matter based on the Tweet and well yeah I should start linking the Reddit post again.

The moment Proton itself starts to fuck things over I am out of there as well, but currently I prepaid just before this came to light, but I use my own domain so mhe

There are two reasons to go public, for one to make as much profit as and otherwise to get more funding than they can get through normal means to then make as much profit as possible.

What legislation would do that? Would they want access to your messages or something?

They are not allowed to just share data from users in other countries where privacy laws exist. It depends a bit on how GDPR is written in the specific country you reside and it it is enough, but generally they should be asking for censent if they try and access it.

Sadly we won’t have any idea when they try and access it, but this is the exact reason why businesses in NL like accounting firms (not bookkeeping firms) need to have their data in datacenter in NL to precent morons like this to access your data.

Pretty sure either Google E2E is non existent or it is alreayd opened up for the UK government or it is being opened in the future. I wonder if Proton is going to need to comply with this.
