  • I self host most of my digital life but I will never host my own email or PW manager for the simple reason that if I screw up either than I could lock myself out of my ENTIRE digital life.

    Also, since email is only as private/secure as the weakest user in the conversation, it seems to me like I would get a very minimal privacy gain from doing so, not worth the risk for normal everyday usage IMHO.

    If I really need to communicate securely with someone there’s better options out there than email anyways.

    Joining the comment train. As an american it proves impossible to not buy american, however I have started a long term boycott of anything that has significant Republican campaign contributions and I encourage others to do the same.

    I second this app, I’m a big fan of the campaign finance reform score. If you want an easy way to fight the citizens united ruling, this is it.

    Also want to give a shout out to https://www.opensecrets.org. their site isn’t as easy to use as goods, but the have a lot more data and if you can’t find info about a company or politician on goods you can usually still find it on open secrets.




  • God. Fucking. Dam. It.

    I use too many of their services right now to get everything switched over to something else before trump takes power.

    The swiss better fucking jail this guy if he hands over data to the us government without swiss court approval, per swiss law.

    Now I have to find a new password manager, VPN, and email provider. Open to suggestions, but I want to find services that aren’t hosed in the us or by trump friendly countries/companies, and ideally use open source software and zero access encryption.
