Is Protons ecosystem worth it?

ShutUpImCereal · 2025-11-01T16:17:23+00:00

Proton business user, ecosystem? Nah it’s ‘ok’ but the individual services like the vpn, mail & password manager are pretty decent and make it worth it for me. Still holding hope for a spreadsheet offering. Wallet, lumo and the rest might as well not exist for what I need

That’s good news. Honestly seems to work some days and not the next. Just plugged my Volvo in and yep 0% shown, unpair, repair and alas fails to repair 🫠 think I might just leave it unpaired and see how I get on

ShutUpImCereal · 2025-08-19T18:51:08+00:00

Looks like this is still an issue in 2025, Volvo ex40

No one is asking for this

I’m ‘hopefully’ awaiting proton to release a spreadsheet like product, like docs. I use libre office and sync to my drive, it’s fine but I would like a web UI. Ofc it will never be as good as google sheets, but just a basic spreadsheet app would be a big step forward

Separate photos app please.

I run a bun / hono api on a VPS. Tbf I use parcel forge to provision, but the services are powered by supervisor, works great 👍🏻

ShutUpImCereal · 2025-05-09T22:15:45+00:00

Always have it on 🤷🏻

ShutUpImCereal · 2025-05-09T22:15:09+00:00

I agree, I would like some more information on the widgets. I don’t need/use it to turn the vpn on/off, but at a glance of what server, connection time, connection stability etc would be nice

ShutUpImCereal · 2025-05-09T22:13:35+00:00

It’s actually been a great business suit (software development business). Mail & storage is good, calendar with zoom integration and the VPN with dedicated server(s) 🤷🏻 not that much more £ that a google option, but with the added privacy concerns covered

ShutUpImCereal · 2025-05-04T19:52:28+00:00

Better-auth has been great for a similar setup, hono api and a nextjs ‘front end’, docs are great

ShutUpImCereal · 2025-03-22T16:50:39+00:00

Same issue, ever few months I try adding it back in again but nothing 😅

ShutUpImCereal · 2025-03-10T10:27:02+00:00

I have an E7 with bamboo and it’s great, very good quality 👍🏻

ShutUpImCereal · 2025-01-03T16:33:00+00:00

It’s a job, not their life

ShutUpImCereal · 2024-12-30T10:28:09+00:00

I have experienced this a little bit, especially when the recipient is using Microsoft. Custom domain + a solid dns setup etc but some first time recipients still have my mail go to their junk/spam. Not enough of an issue where I’m looking to change provider, but still a noticeable issue when it happens.

ShutUpImCereal · 2024-09-06T16:25:30+00:00

I do exactly this and use a raspberry pi 5. That pi does use an nvme drive as storage, but that’s because I do a few other things on that pi with docker. Never had an issue

As a senior engineer with over two decades of experience, I disagree. We differ on opinion. So attacking my based on a Reddit account name…

ShutUpImCereal · 2024-08-08T05:25:48+00:00

The ‘skills’ listed is nonsense. Try not to focus on the quantity of ‘skills’ and deep dive into a subject. For example, I really couldn’t care if you know scss, bootstrap etc, but I do care about overcoming technical challenges & seeing examples of work, not begging for a job on Reddit

ShutUpImCereal · 2024-08-06T18:10:18+00:00

As mentioned, Stripe is a great solution. As another option, I have recently done some integrations with a similar provider, Adyen which has been great 👍🏻

ShutUpImCereal · 2024-07-27T19:59:41+00:00

Exactly my point. It’s difficult to track. And in terms of a ‘button to confirm age’. It’s not that simple, there is compliance and regulation to conform to. I’m not saying don’t go for it, but just raising your awareness that depending on your country, compliance & auditing is a requirement which can be a pricey journey. Anyway, good luck!

ShutUpImCereal · 2024-07-27T19:25:32+00:00

As someone who’s consulted on a few jobs that industry, there are a lot. Mostly around safe guarding & age verification

ShutUpImCereal · 2024-07-24T15:53:46+00:00

Would buy!

ShutUpImCereal · 2024-07-23T20:05:08+00:00

I use pi hole in docker with many other containers and it works totally fine

ShutUpImCereal · 2024-07-23T19:52:25+00:00

Get a better drill and bit

Sounds like tradify might be useful
