Looks like a contributor was in a sanctioned region?

Not according to that thread - it looks like they don’t yet know what caused it:

No any details from GitHub yet. One contributor mentioned a temporary visit to disputed areas a long time ago — GitHub probably just flagged the account, and their bots messed up after that.

Consider 0patch before you give up on windows

Unless there’s a very specific application need, I think the most sensible thing would be to ditch Windows. Better for security, better for the world to increase the mainstreaming of Linux.

Put Aurora on it - an improved version of Kinoite.

It’s harder to create new content than to correct existing content.

They’re not really comparable since Bitwarden has the source available for auditing and Proton Pass (server) does not.

Nothing in the article or in the Bitwarden repo suggests that it’s moving away from open source

It’ll be easier to run the LLM in Podman on Bazzite.

You neglected to quote the most relevant part of the article which answers your own question regarding Monero:

Proton Wallet is in a strange position. I’ve spoken to a few sources who suggest that privacy features like CoinJoin, which can mix Bitcoin in order to better anonymize transactions, were intended to be included at launch. The crackdown on the ill-fated Samouri Wallet project by U.S. authorities last April certainly put a damper on privacy in the Bitcoin space, and likely made Proton wary of introducing such features to the public.

Proton suggests this themselves, stating on their website:

“Coinjoin is considered the best solution for improving blockchain privacy. It works by mixing your BTC with other users’ BTC in a collaborative self-custodial transaction where you get back the same amount of BTC that you put in but on a different address that cannot be easily linked to your previous address. However, in 2024, in what many consider to be a regulatory overreach and attack on privacy, some of these Coinjoin services have been declared illegal in the US and EU. The future of financial privacy may therefore be decided by ongoing litigation in the next decade and privacy advocates should support these efforts.”

This situation likely soured Proton on other privacy-friendly cryptocurrencies like Monero as well. I get it, financial privacy is an extremely challenging task for any company to take on. We can’t expect Proton to take on the risk of offering a completely anonymous payment service in the current legal climate, but it begs the question: why enter the financial space at all?

While not particularly revolutionary, the fact that they provide a unique HD wallet address every time you receive funds through your same email address does provide additional privacy as no one can see your previous transactions. Even when those are rolled up together later it does make it harder to associate an exact total balance with you. If you used your wallet for smaller spending rather than making a single large send from it, that makes it harder still.

Sure, I would have liked them to add Monero too, but it gets thorny when you’re a regulated company dealing with that.

It seems like a no-brainer for me. Limits bots and provides a small(?) income stream for the server owner.

This was linked on your page, which is quite cool: https://crypto-loot.org/captcha

Add a requirement that every comment must perform a small CPU-costly proof-of-work. It’s a negligible impact for an individual user, but a significant impact for a hosted bot creating a lot of comments.

Even better if you make the PoW performing some bitcoin hashes, because it can then benefit the Lemmy instance owner which can offset server costs.

One salty downvote from @rekabis@lemmy.ca :P

Edit: Proton has REMOVED the P2P tick from the VPN on this plan since I took the screenshots below. That sucks.

I would gladly pay like 5€ monthly for little storage, VPN and few email aliases)

Includes VPN with P2P and streaming, Drive with 15GB, Proton Pass, etc.

uCore spin of Fedora CoreOS:

https://github.com/ublue-os/ucore

• SELinux
• Supports secure boot
• Immutable root partition (can’t be tampered with)
• Rootless Podman (significantly more secure than Docker)
• Everything runs in containers
• Smart and secure opinionated defaults
• Fedora base is very up-to-date, compared to something like Debian

Try Aurora.

Everything I’ve tried to install has all been point and click using flatpaks.

If you’re into gaming, use Bazzite instead, which comes with all the gaming stuff pre installed.

WineDB says all their apps are “Garbage” status - eg does not run.

If you know Javascript you could very easily write a plugin in Obsidian to do this. Just have the plugin replace any markdown with the Unicode equivalent on save.

Great question though, it’s actually making me wonder why this isn’t a thing in normal plain text editors!

Yes, me too. I was pointing out that SL can be used without Proton Pass.

Bitwarden also integrates SimpleLogin for one-click alias generation.

I’m in their ecosystem but specifically don’t use it, as it seems extraordinarily unsafe to put my passwords behind the same authentication that I use just to check my email.

To add onto what Andromxda said, SimpleLogin is included with your Proton account (might be paid accounts only).

Use it with a custom domain - it’s amazing and if Proton Mail ever shuts down you won’t have to migrate any of your logins because they’re already on your own domain.
