New ones are too young and not battle tested with time. Hybrid PQ is the norm until more data is available.
Rclone added beta support.
Yeah, its super annoying.
Port forwarding with the VPN on Linux was an adventure because all the docs are outdated and I had to scour github issues for how to do it.
Android mail app becomes super slower over time. No snooze. Wish it could do POP3/IMAP for send/receive from other accounts like my school one. Can't delete aliases I made before proton pass aliases came out.
No contact syncing as a bi-directional provider with Android.
Someone recently added Proton Drive to rclone if you want to sync in Linux. Worked for my small test but I've since moved to Backblaze for my backend storage while waiting for a solution and it works really well for less than a $1 a month.
Not sure what your environment is. I can tell you what I do in linux/android.
I use backblaze b2 for my cloud storage.
I use rclone to create two encrypted "remotes": one on my local file system and one for b2. Rclone supports a bunch of cloud providers, so you don't have to use b2.
I mount the encrypted local file system and use whatever app (e.g., paperless) to access the files like it was any other directory.
When I'm done I unmount it and sync it with the b2 encrypted remote.
I use Round Sync on android which is rclone with a mobile GUI to access the same files. Also works great for backing up my phone.
For docker access to the mount point, either run the docker daemon as your current user, enable root access to rclone's fuse mounts, or my preferred is to remount (with root access) a scoped directory for that docker container using something like bindfs.
Just be aware if using the vfs-cache (needed for seek or append), that cache is stored decrypted in your home folder. I've been meaning to look into locking it down with apparmor or something.
Not the OP but currently have:
- Kagi - Search...
- Proton - Email, Calendar, VPN, Pass (I just use for aliases). Now that I've upped my privacy knowledge I need to reevaluate. I do like their products though from a useability perspective. VPN supporting port forwarding is a bonus.
- Backblaze B2 - off site backups using rclone and Round Sync (android rclone) to sync files
- Mullvad VPN - Just got based on the XMR payment option and RAM only servers. Still deciding where I have a VPN included with Proton. I don't like putting my eggs all in one basket though as I did with Google so its attractive to keep.
- Bitwarden - Password manager. May switch to self hosted in the future.
- Standard Notes - May switch to self hosted if I don't lose any features I use.
The results aren't always perfect, but its more of fighting with SEO.
With DDG I'd often have to switch back to Google for a query. Now when switching from Kagi to Google when I can't find a result the results are usually worse. For a niche topic I'm vaguely familiar with I'll usually do ChatGPT so I can get the proper search terms and then find what I want on Kagi.
It tends to improve the more you adjust your personalized weights. I was pretty lazy with that the first month and found it slightly subpar compared with Google. Now it seems way better.
Lots of UI customizations if you don't like a particular feature. As an example I don't like their Listicles feature (groups top X type of results). Mostly because that content is poor quality. Disabling the feature just removes those crap results that would go in the widget which is a bonus for me.
The ability to switch lenses (topic contexts) that you can customize those result weights for instead of one global context Google assigns you.
I wish they had a better solution for anonymous searching. There is a pay as you go API I could use with a second account funded from cleaned bitcoin. Would be great if I could use the website though from a pay as you go funded source.
It respects quotes. I literally got like 6 results total with your example.
Yeah it is a wierd flex I've been trying to wrap my head around.
I'm kind of wondering if this move is just a data grab. Matter gives controllers a lot of insight into how smart products are used. Only iPhone in the house is for your teen so they don't have that "dreaded" green text? As soon as you let them on your Matter network as a controller they now know when you turn your lights on and off, lock your doors, etc.
Thing is, this doesn't (or at least shouldn't) require a Thread radio. A controller on the phone can still get this info so long as one border router exists in the Thread PAN on the same network as the phone.
Everything is encrypted in Matter so you would have to be a controller to get any good data. With that, I doubt its just for passively farming packets over the air.
I guess it could be used to control devices remotely during a network outage if one person with an iPhone is home since its a local only protocol.
The radios are cheap enough that I guess they could be just throwing it in there without a great use case to generate buzz. Cost of radios is a drop in the bucket for most marketing budgets.
Head scratcher for sure.
This is my take also, which is don't put all your eggs in one basket. For my critical systems I typically use a memorized sentence and a key stored on a hardware device that is pin protected. I carry two hardware devices from different vendors with different accounts on each to further limit what can be accessed if any were compromised. If supported, I also use Aegis and Bitwarden (different accounts on each) for OTPs as a third gate.
It can be annoying at times, but its not as crazy as it sounds. I can get access to anything in about 30 seconds.
Similar upbringing in Catholic school. Acts of humility like a poor person giving what little they have holds more weight than a king giving their weight in gold, the golden rule, and showing general compassion has stuck with me decades later. Education was pretty good too. None of that dinosaurs lived 6000 years ago or whatever crap. I attribute the education to giving me the critical thinking skills to not fall for the indoctrination. I could tell the poor giving message was a lead in for tithing. Taking a message of helping someone in real need no matter your status to support this church that was the best looking building in town didn't pass the logic test.
I get denied enough it is noticeable when I'm on a VPN with Mull. Sometimes it let's me do a captcha, sometimes its just a straight up block. Usually dropping my VPN fixes.
Visible light, radio frequencies, microwaves, x-rays, infrared, ultra violet and so on are just light (photons) at different frequencies.

Love Star Trek and a lot of Sci-Fi for this reason. Just finished binge watching Strange New Worlds where standing up for what is right is a core tenant of the crew. In contrast, one of the recent Ashoka episodes really hit me with the quote "sometimes even the right reasons have the wrong consequences". It really sums up my experience in the world we live in and where we could be.
Bill Burr said it best: knuckle scrapper.
Round Sync with whatever remote (backend provider) you want supported by the underlying library rclone. They have self hosted remote options like FTP or something. If you want off site and privacy, create a crypted remote pointed to your off site backend remote. It acts as a wrapper to do end-to-end encryption.
Round Sync isn't in any app store, so I'd set a watcher for releases on Github. You can setup scheduled backups or restores in Round Sync to keep things moving between your phone and backend remote as a relatively set it and forget it for one way syncing.
It has some nuances with bidirectional syncing that can result in data loss if not careful. With your workflow, I recommend something like a daily copy job from your phone to the server. This never deletes files. When you curate your photos via a tool on the backend remote (only do this when all photos on your phone are on the backup server), then you can do a manual sync from the backend remote to your phone to match the two exactly.
Copy just copies or updates to newer versions from target 1 to target 2.
Sync does the same but also deletes any files on target 2 that are not on target 1. Very easy to delete files if not careful in planning out your workflow. Test first.
I use Backblaze B2 for my off site remote which only hides and doesn't delete files with the default settings. You can manage those with the rclone CLI application on a desktop to later cleanup hidden files or set them to delete after X days or something in the b2 life cycle settings on the Backblaze website.
Its no Google Photos or Dropbox, but it works well enough for me without giving up privacy. It also decouples the syncing from curating of photos giving some additional freedom for a custom workflow.
I personally just have a daily copy job on my phone from my phone to a crypted b2 remote and a cron on my self hosted server to copy from b2 to my self hosted server. Once a year I might clean things up from my server, do a manual sync to b2, then another to my phone. Sometime later I'll go clean up the hidden (deleted) files in b2.
That said, I care more about backups than bidirectional syncing, so your milage may vary with this solution for your use case.
Edge switched to chromium in 2020...
Don't miss parts 2 and 3:
Depending on the country, those laws may be different. Here is a story of a guy who ran a TOR exit node in Australia who would have been protected as a company (law was later changed).
Probably will take awhile to trickle down if it even sticks on the latter two. My exposure was IETF working groups that write up RFC standards.
There are self-hosted options with strong encryption. My BitWarden vault is just as secure as if my laptop were stolen. Argon2id to secure the key for AES256 encryption.
