Would you recommend it?
Is Proton Drive still an option post #AndyYen tweet?

Fediverse friends,
Some time during the last couple of weeks one of you posted or boosted a "cloud storage" meme-ish post that featured a closet with clouds neatly stored on the shelves.
Now for some reason I can't find it.
Can any of you remember where it came from and if possible put me in contact with whoever made it?

I've now got 30GB of storage, many thanks to those kind souls who used my link to sign up for Filen! 
Anyone here using StormWeb for nextcloud storage? I am currently at Hetzner, no issues at all and price is less at Hetzner. Worth the price to support my own country.

I've used their Windows app for 10 years, and it is reliable and secure.
They have a Mac app now, and recently introduced Team features, but I've not tried either of those. There is no Linux app.

Firefox receives new Terms of Use, Mozilla argues that it will offer users "more transparency" over their "rights and permissions", but its wording raises concerns, it only applies to the executable code though, so forks like LibreWolf probably won't be affected:

Been searching for an alternative to #Google Drive and I think I found it: #Sync is simple and does everything I need and not much else at a pretty good price. Bonus: They’re based in #Canada

For obvious reasons I am thinking about a #degoogle of my life. Anyone found any really good resources of websites or guides? Back 20 years I ran my own mail server but I understand it is now almost impossible to get your email delivered if you do that.
I don’t mind separating #email #calendar and #CloudStorage if necessary. Outside U.S. obviously. #indieweb
Reminder that you should move your email archive to another provider, preferably one in Europe, and delete everything in GMail, including in the "all mail" folder.
Then cancel the account entirely if you can, or put a permanent "vacation" message saying that your clients / organizations should not use google products for security reasons.
Also be sure and delete everything out of google drive.
Even if you do cancel the acct(s), they will not delete your data immediately, or possibly ever. You need to do it yourself.
Your data is not safe with google. They have AI crawling every bit of it, and data mine for hundreds of third parties you know nothing about, including muskrat et al.
Additionally, any online service or app you use that has an option to login with google, you should replace. They are letting google data mine your info.
Time to pull the kill switch.

With the new #Trump-#Administration, more and more american #Cloud-#Users will search for european Cloud-#Solutions for advanced #Security-#Features, because they no more trust american #BigTech-#Cloudstorage like #Google or #Microsoft or #Amazon. We all see, how #Musk and his #GoonSquad inspect and infiltrate the Payment-System (luckily stopped at the Moment). At any given Time, they could try this with the Cloudstorage. #Nondisclosure-#Gagorders could make this easier.

Here is Proton's terms concerning the US-division. It has whole sections concerning US Customers and US Laws. https://proton.me/wallet/terms
A company outside Us Law would not care about American laws, anymore than you would likely care about the law in North Korea, for example.
#Proton #ProtonMail #ProtonEmail #ProtonPass #ProtonDrive #ProtonWallet #Vpn #CloudStorage #PasswordManager #Email #Wallet #Project2025
ProtonProton Wallet Terms of Use | ProtonThese Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute an agreement between the customer ("you" or "user") and Proton Financial AG, a company limited by share incorporated in Switzerland with company number CHE-279.911.859, whose registered address is Baarermattstrasse 8F 6340 Baar, Switzerland (the "Company", "Proton Financial AG").
I keep getting asked this (repeatedly).
" What about Proton VPN? I think they are in Europe."
A division of Proton is now a US-based company. Particularly, Proton Wallet. Their Terms of Services, also goes into lengths concerning Us Laws and Us Customers. It goes beyond just the CEO's support for fascism leadership (Donald Trump).
Naturally, making this list is not easy. These are two types of companies I avoided in making my list.
1) Those who actually fall under US-jurisdiction because they are based or owned by a company in the USA.
More than often, I will stumble over a company that appears to be outside the USA, but later find they are owned by another corporation based inside the USA, and so they do fall under US-jurisdiction.
2) Those who voluntarily give up their sovereignty to the United States. The 2nd type, who voluntarily gives up their sovereignty in the way of US jurisdiction, have whole sections of their terms concerning US Laws and US based customers. If a fascist government says jump, these people will ask, how high?!

So, given that the US is rapidly turning to shit, and that Dropbox is a US company, should I be worried that I'm keeping a lot of my data on Dropbox?
And if so, what's a good non-US alternative?
Needs to sync from a Linux desktop and a headless Linux server, have an Android app, and, ideally, an API.
Does pCloud do all those things?

The transition to a new domain and hosting with StartMail was smooth but not seamless. I opted for the Business plan because I needed to attach multiple domains to the account. Although I could have saved money with the personal plan, it would have required parking two other...

#RaspberryPi owners, how do you back up your #RPi?
I don’t have an extra hard drive, so I need to back up to #GoogleDrive. I’ve installed #Rclone and tried creating a #BASH script, but I’m struggling with it.
If you’ve set up something similar or have recommendations for an efficient backup workflow, I’d love to hear them! Bonus points if you know any good courses or resources to improve my scripting skills.
