I don’t get why the second layer of Op iceberg is solutions having strong marketing budget. As far as I know (correct me if I’m wrong) Nord VPN has been audited by 3rd parties which confirmed its no-log policy. Also feel more anonymous when using a mainstream VPN because many users share the same IP. On the contrary if you use a VPN where only 2 users are on the same IP, seems easier to track you. Maybe I’m wrong but the hate for NordVPN does not seems justified.

What’s the relation with NordVPN ? Are other VPN providers I.e mullivad better ?

Why ? Asking seriously because they got multiple certifications about their no-logs policy done by independent third parties.

Why is NordVPN not mentioned ? I’m using it and happy so far. Should I switch to something else ?

Why the hate ? I pay less than 100 € per year for the subscription which is like 3 coffees per months and I have the basic plan with LR Classic, Photoshop, 20GB of online storage which is good to let me edit the shootings on my phone during the daily commute to work. Frequent updates and new features. It’s really worth the value. Even if their previous business model with perpetual licenses was better.

I did not know about Addy.io. I’ll definitely have a look. Thank you!

It does not offer all the options from proton but I bought my own domain from OVH provider (France). Can configure email addresses in their admin user interface. I have one main account that I do not disclose. So when I need to create an account somewhere, I just go to OVH web interface and create a new alias for my main email.

The day OVH goes dark, I’ll just have to move my domain somewhere else.

Can’t the protocol be blocked at networking level by the ISPs ?

Since you seem happy : Any recommendations for VPS provider ?

it’s easy to use, pretty damn reliable

Unfortunately not when you’re self hosting… Can’t rely on it when you’re supposed to receive an email (account validation, reset password email,…) which never arrives and you’re stuck clicking on « resend the email » on the website with no hope…

Are you condescending because you’re bored at work, or are you bored at work because you’re condescending ?

I don’t think that’s a reliable guide. For instance the Russians consider the Ukrainians to be the nazis…

The other side at the bottom would be easier (one cut no angles)

For 280GB on Glacier : around 1 USD each month For 400GB of hot storage on OVH public cloud : around 5 EUR per month.

In my process I have to sort pictures and video before sending them to cold storage because I don’t want to cold-store all the failed footages, obviously I have some delay here. That is something I usually do during the long winter evenings 😊

I have all my photos on my NAS whith backups to OVH storage for recent data and AWS glacier for folders of pictures older than two years. I can afford to lose all my ISOs but not all the pictures of my child. Never tried to recover data from AWS glacier but I trust them.
