  • No, I think you are misunderstanding my poor explanation.

    Your emails are encrypted at rest on their server regardless if you use the web client or IMAP through the bridge.

    The thing is that the encryption layer must happen at some point in time when you communicate with their API:s. In the web client this encryption is built-in. IMAP on the other hand does not support this type of end to end encryption, so the bridge adds this layer for you.

    So you communicate unencrypted locally between your email client (Thunderbird for example) and the Protonmail bridge that you have installed locally on your computer. Then Protonmail bridge encrypts and decrypts all emails for you. So to your email client, it seems like a normal email server, but in reality everything is encrypted.

    (Standard “encrypted email” disclaimer: Your emails are not encrypted in transit unless both parties, sending and receiving, are set up for encryption. Email is otherwise not end to end encrypted in transit)




  • I’ve run iodéOS for at least a year by now.

    It used to have some bugs that mildly inconvenienced me,but they have all been fixed now.

    I really like it. It just works.

    Uninstallable default apps just means that the stores (f-droid / aurora), browsers, camera and lots more can be removed in the settings, so you dont need to root access to do so.

    Don’t want the default email client and contacts app? Just uninstall them from the settings. Takes a reboot to take effect.

    If you need them again, just go back there, install them again, reboot and you’re golden.

    Attaching a screenshot from the “Preinstalled apps” page in the settings.

    Feel free to ask if you have any more questions.

    I believe money shouldn’t be involved.

    Just match sellers and buyers together and let them figure the terms and transaction out themselves.

    All that is needed is a way to find what you want and a solid system of building trusted profiles with ratings and such.

    Not a simple task, but keep the money out and it will all be easier.







  • Pretty cool!

    Tried it out for 15 mins and it seems like a useful tool to replace organisational tools like Notion. As I understand it; It synchronizes its data between devices peer to peer on local networks with the option to back up to a server if needed.

    Way better than other alternatives in a privacy perspective. The user experience was a little rough imo though. Very many details and the graph view was rather cluttery. It had the option to toggle some information off in the graph view, but I couldn’t really find a good setting that was both informative and not cluttered. Also, there were very many different types of views that were nested in each other when viewing pages. This confused me a little, but may become clearer if used for longer than 15 minutes.

    All in all; I love this type of technology. I will likely use this instead of Notion for the few projects I have.

    This has been my initial thoughts. Not a complete review. Try it out yourself! They have very good packaging alternatives.
