  • I check in here now and then. ;)

    So 5 months later, I still use Proton Mail, still loving it. Use it in combination with Proton Calendar which also works really nice and just started really using the Proton Drive as (in the future) an alternative for Google Drive now that they have added encrypted photo sync. That feature (for Android) is still very early and i have been in touch with the helpdesk for some of the issues i am running into. But they do really feel like issues because of it being a very first version.

    So for now i would say that their Drive option is quite robust and works very nice and can really serve as an alternative for one of the other big parties (yes i still do a lot with Google Drive and Dropbox so to fully migrate that will take ‘some’ time).





  • Has it been two years already?! Well that’s quite some time!

    In short, with the steps Proton has taken in the past two years to improve their products, i am a very happy customer! Currently i am using Proton mail and Proton calendar. For a VPN i use Mullvad at the moment and i can really recommend them for a VPN service.

    Regarding the VPN, i had been using Mullvad before Proton started offering theirs. Currently i am weighing of if i should use Proton for my VPN services as well, or keep some things separated between different companies, just in case.



  • Make your mental health a priority, if not, this will come back to you at some point and then it will have the possibility that it collapses everything.

    If you decide on going back to school while working, make it so that you work towards something that will, after you graduate, instantly makes it possible for you to improve the rest of your life (better work, more money, better work / life balance etc). If that is not the case and you are merely interested in a degree / knowledge / something else, prioritize work and mental health before taking on extra pressure.




  • I use the heart symbol all the time, as a symbol of love (to the ones that i really love) or as a symbol of appreciation for things that they have done, i don’t think anyone has ever mistaken it and to normalize spreading love to all my cis-gendered male friends. ❤️


  • Even when i take into account the subscription, the fact that it is owned by a company and thus centralized, i still go with 1Password. For the simple reason that it works on all my devices, has a dedicated application and browser plugins and through the years has just worked for me.

    For me, at this moment, it is that part convenience to keep using it.






  • In a lot of cases that makes indeed sense, that if i create a personal wikipedia page and declare myself person awesome the awesomenest and emperor of the world that that will not fly. But academic writing rules can’t be fully translated to be talking about people, or groups, or particular things. It really depends on the topic which ruleset you can apply (and i guess Wikipedia is trying to do that).
