Can’t answer, really.
i’m ok with Tutanota for mail, although Proton does have an .onion address whereas Tutanota does not.
Bitwarden for passwords.
No VPN but i’d go for IVPN.
I had the unlimited plan for a few months but downgraded only to the mail plan, that way I can try different providers for VPN, Drive, and password manager.
For password manager I’ve had Bitwarden for years now and it works great for me. VPN currently with AirVPN because of easy port forwarding, and drive with Nextcloud self hosted because I can, and also works fine for me.
The VPN is decent enough. The new linux app is decent enough as well. The best privacy-respecting VPNs are $5 a month anyway.
Mail is great, Calendar is solid and great for my needs. Though I would much prefer calendar integration with Thunderbird.
Drive is new and underbaked, but it is improving. Once it gets a Linux client and Auto photo upload I’ll be happy.
Proton Pass is solid and I like having passwords and 2FA wrapped into one.
I am also grandfathered in for the $6.60/month for 24 months plan. For that price and combination of services (And even at $8/month) it cannot be beat.
For me, no. I used it for several years but their linux support is not good enough for me. The linux vpn client depends on networkmanager, but I use iwd, so I was sol (loading wireguard profiles is not a good enough solution, too much of a hastle). They also don’t support ipv6 for vpn. Their linux email client doesn’t exist, and on android their app depends on google play services and they refuse to put a degoogled version on fdroid or host their own fdroid repo.
i switched to mullvad for vpn (linux app works great, they have ipv6, and since I don’t use vpn that often I save money on the months I don’t use it) and tuta for email (they have a decent email app on linux and android, works great without google play services and is on fdroid, and their servers use green energy)
for pass, I’ve used keepass with syncthing and keepassxc on linux and keepassdx on android so proton pass wasn’t a bonus for me anyways
I have been paying for Proton Unlimited for a very long time. About a year ago, they changed their prices for new users. currently it is $12/m, but I have to pay only $7.50/m, and yes, I pay monthly.
I use Proton Mail with 3 custom domains, and I am an always-on VPN user. The VPN connection is always great with good speeds, but sometimes bad pings, but have a bad Linux app (yes, the new one as well). I also use their drive, currently using ~200GB. I have never touched Proton Pass because I have a self-hosted Vaultwarden server.
But I am seriously considering discontinuing their service, specifically due to their poor Linux support. Their VPN app is shit, they don’t provide and not even developing a Linux app for Drive. But their are 2 reasons that make me continue their service. One, I do not really wish to self-host my email, and I do not want to use Tutanota, because I need Thunderbird. Two, there are no trusted VPN providers that give Indian IPs.
Idk if this helps you, but you can download the OVPN-Configs for single Servers and countries, so you can usw the VPN Client your DE provides. Also, rclone now has Proton Drive support
Using multiple config files is a bother, plus I really need the kill switch. Is there a way to replicate it manually? I didnt’t know rcloje started supporting Proton Drive, I’ll start using it.
Never trust the killswitch. If you use proton for torrenting, you can set your torrent client to just connect over the tun0 interface, which will only exist if the VPN is on
I speak under correction, but I believe that whilst yes adding any add-on can potentially alter your fingerprint, it’s also true that a site has to test for the presence of that particular add-on you’ve added. I don’t believe there’s a way to test generally for the presence of add-ons and report back which add-ons a visitor is using.
I’m In the need of an offline calendar and gallery now that simplemobiletools got sold off
This doesn’t sound reasonable. Why can’t you keep using existing apps? Are they underdeveloped and you’re waiting for some features? If so, it’d be helpful to see what these features are in order to suggest a suitable replacement.
When I went to trade school in 2010 for automotive repair our instructors told us this was going to happen. At the time, I thought they were just grumpy old men who didn’t like that cars were becoming more and more electronic. How wrong I was
I’m not a power user by any means but I moved over from obsidian and haven’t had any issues so far. I’m using the free cloud storage right now but will look into self hosting if I get more serious about it.
Can’t say for sure. Everything is considered an object in anytype. As I understand it every line of text, every bullet point could be its own file. Instead of one markdown file for each page like obsidian does. How this will affect the syncing I can’t say.
Right now you can’t turn off the built-in sync with their servers (except by blocking traffic with a firewall). So there isn’t really anything to gain in hosting the files yourself.
I just found this yesterday so I cannot properly give a review on it, but I found Logseq which seems to be a privacy-focused knowledge management and collaboration platform. It seems very promising and reminds me somewhat of Obsidian
I tried looking for where the company developing Logseq was located and couldn't find any information at all. The only thing I found was this in the T&C

I’ve been using it for several months by now, I keep everything synced with Syncthing and it’s been working really well. Android app is still rough around the edges but it does work alright.
My understanding is it was developed as an answer to Roam Research specifically, and while its model might not work for everyone, I love it.
I am trying this program on mobile and Mac but am hesitant to try on windows as the virus total scan is coming back positive for 2 hits. Any concerns there?
The community can only read the source code, as of yet. All of the source code has been provided by a set of internal developers.
The fact that it is open source means that, if somehow two malware elements have made it into the source code, then someone will eventually report it. But this doesn’t mean that two malware elements cannot be there right now.
These two malware hits on total virus scan should be communicated to the developers.
Totally agree, FOSS doesn’t mean immune from malice. I saw some articles talking about a signing issue but that was years ago. Odd they haven’t addressed it in that amount of time.
