Re: [gentoo-user] Anyone here use Proton email service?

I'm using it, for over 5 years now.  Generally very happy, great up time and fast bug squashing.

The only real issue I have is it's become slower at log on (fine after that other than logging out) since they started offering calendars and other gadgets.  Slightly annoyed that their proxy service requires system-d unless you want to run everything through the router/firewall.  i.e. if you don't want all of your' traffic sent over a proxy.  

I made the mistake of trying to buy something on new egg using Tor, about 8 years ago.  Even with a different credit card they are still a bit hinky.  Glad they blocked it, but it would be nice not to have to go to ups to pick up my geek gear.
