There's a reason why software is being made with Rust now. It has the speed of C++ (sometimes faster), has a nice syntax, is memory safe by default, has the best compiler error messages and also the book is very good. I learnt entirely by the book and it's very good at explaining things.
Mull is a hardened fork of Firefox.
I use it but some rare websites' functionality does not work with it. Mull is not more secure than Chromium though, even if it is hardened.
Chromium is undoubtedly more secure but not privacy-friendly. I also don't want to support the chromium monopoly, so I don't use them.
Brave as a browser also sucks. Shields suck.
Nothing to this day has been better than uBlock Origin yet.
Indeed. Email is not ideal for such things but it exists and is needed because everyone refuses to make a switch. If XMPP were to replace emails, that would've been great.
Anyway, I still don't trust Proton. Have a great day.
I'll just wait a few days or even weeks before doing any big updates, read the news page of archlinux.org and maybe some forum stuff.
Nothing broke so far on my personal laptop, but I also don't tinker alot. All of the data of the containers are also stored in a storagebox from Hetzner so the system breaking wouldn't even mean that much, I'll just restore from a snapshot and everything will be fine.
I also might think of switching to NixOS instead. They say it's hard but pays off well and can be very stable.
Encrypted or not, the fact that someone else has it stored somewhere in their computers is dangerous. The fact that it can be accessed online is dangerous. The only recommended way to store private keys are offline and encrypted. Why are you so ignorant of this fact, I wonder? I think you trust Proton a bit too much.
Ubuntu server, though I am thinking of using arch even though it is a rolling distro. It doesn't really matter. As long as docker is supported, I am fine using any.
One of the biggest risks is when someone knows your password. Your PGP encrypted emails that you want noone to see will be available to the attacker. Whereas if no such thing happened, the attacker wouldn't be able to decrypt the PGP encrypted emails even if the attacker gained access to your account.
Manually encrypting your stuff is better than having some random on the internet do it for you. It's really just a tradeoff. Convenience or security? It's not even hard to manually encrypt emails.
Exactly. There's no justification for them storing the private key online for "convenience". And key generation happens in the browser with JS. Which means it is possible to send backdoored JS to easily copy the private key.
what the fuck
