  • that’s a good question and I’m not sure. Worth it to find out, but personally I don’t dual boot with Windows. I just have my main linux install and use a virtual machine. I never have needed to use a windows virtual machine but it would be interesting if I could activate it with the copy that came with my laptop.

    Unless that copy is registered to my microsoft account? I have no idea that’s how much I try to avoid windows now












  • excuse me ignorance, but I understand that once you receive mail from someone with shared pgp keys, they’d have no way to read the contents.

    But when I receive an email from any service that sends me mail, or from a friend that doesn’t use PGP, it sits encrypted in my account… but how do we know proton isn’t ‘reading’ the contents when it is delivered and before it is encrypted in the account?

    Is there a possibility of data mining or them storing the contents on their end? like a mirror image?



  • we might laugh at this but I think this is useful. Even though I wouldn’t use something like this and I’d just use a regular dedicated blank notebook and my password manager, it can be useful to people who have problems with computers and can’t handle a password manager, yet may give pages with good templates to show how to record sensitive information.
