  • From The Intercept 2025, CEO Andy Yen made these posts on X:

    “10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned.”

    “Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.”

    Protonmail has been pro-trump strictly for its own economic interests. Its definitely believable that they would endorse right-wing media figures in its own economic interests.

    This doesn’t mean you should go back to google. That’s silly. Just know that Protonmail or any corporation isn’t a long term solution. They aren’t immune to enshittification. And all businesses inherently have political interests. The only long term solution is open source and self hosted.







  • I’ve seen SMTP servers self hosted alongside WordPress just for sending invite emails. There’s definitely some openssl keygen and DNS magic that needs to happen. Then it took almost a month before email sending really worked. There was a while where it would show up in spam for most recipients while gmail would flat out ignore it.

    If you’re not scared of the openssl/DNS magic and are willing to let it sit for months before actually migrating then yes.













  • Wastewater analysis is a real thing and is very useful. People were using it to track covid after the pandemic although idk how accurate it was there.

    The privacy concern here is only if they are getting per-household or per-toilette data. You don’t have to worry about per-household analysis ever happening unless your sewer system is somehow privatized, in which case, lol rip.

    Smart toilets exist and definitely are a massive privacy concern. But they haven’t caught on because only rich weirdos would ever want their toilet to be an iot device.
