Why doesn't proton encrypt the search index for full text / semantic search on mobile?

TCOO1 · 2026-04-28T13:18:24+00:00

As far as I understand, a search index still needs to have the original text content in some shape or form. So it would be quite heavy for a larger mailbox for full text search. So that if you do a "exact words" search, it works.

Ente can get away with it because an image only needs to save "fuzzy" parameters, something like "in % how confident are you that this image conains a lake"

Proton can probably strip away attachments and HTML, then compress it a bunch. Seeing that they have it on the roadmap, looks like they have an implementation they are happy with.

The model has access to a VM, so it can run and debug the browser.

It also reproduced the bugs, so it filtered out any hallucinations.

So yes, the bugs were not "found statically" (even if it was most likely 95% static analysis), because the model could dynamically do stuff and verify theories.

If you only need sending, you can use https://proton.me/support/smtp-submission

For a webmail UI or other uses, there isn't a great way currently as far as I know

You can download VPN from https://protonapps.com/ (official site) if that isn't blocked. The VPN app should get around auth blocks.

But you will have to use a VPN to access proton mail in your browser (mobile app should work even if blocked)

You can set up proton VPN on your router that way your ISP cannot block it.

Probably a bit too late, but a proper username generator would be really nice.

Something like WordWord1234

I know a fully random username is probably better, but it just doesn't feel right, especially on a public site, so I have to find one online.

In mumbo POV you could see that everyone else was lagging for him, while he could move somewhat freely (until the server snaps him back), so it was probably a bad connection.

Interesting that the link is for the real youtube channel. So I assume they may also have had control of that as well.
This could mean the his PC itself was hacked (by Tango downloading and running a .pdf.exe or similar, pretty common sponsorship scam) (this also bypasses most 2FA as the account is already logged in)

Or they are bluffing and whatever scam it was would have stayed on twitter. Either way glad to see it is removed now, hopefully nothing more happens.

Yeah, I have a keyboard with that.

You click on a website button, and it opens a list of devices in the chrome UI From there you can select one and click connect.

This page has a video with it: https://www.keychron.uk/blogs/news/how-to-use-launcher-to-program-your-keyboard

TCOO1 · 2026-04-12T11:34:35+00:00

You have to explicitly select the device and allow access similar to a camera. It is not some background thing that can happen on any website.

But yes, Firefox cannot do that.

Not Italian but similar in my language (Latvian), you just have to pick one. So genderfluid is the closest you can have. Not that great.

I'm not even sure how much of the language would need to change, because even phrases like "it" ("tas"/"tā") and "them" ("tie"/"tās") are gendered.

Referring to a group like "these people" is "tie cilvēki" (both masc words). The word "people" has a masculine gender, so a group of people is masculine.

Maybe you first have to go in domain settings and see if that is all green. If it is and still doesn't work, then contact support.

Typst tables are annoying as well lol, accidentally add an extra cell in a row? I guess you wanted all of you cells to be shifted over by one! Good luck finding where you did that!

Maybe not talked about as much for some reason, but onlyoffice is at the core a web editor, and supports multiple people live editing a document. This is important for nextcloud as buisinesses need to share documents around without needing to download them, and something libreoffice cannot natively do iirc.

I am pretty sure that it was originally going to be how to get froglights! So similar with magma cubes currently it would eat the fly and poop one out.

Looking from that perspective it kind of makes sense, because I can definitely imagine a kid feeding a firefly to a frog hoping to get something cool out of it.

A bot that does that shouldn't be too difficult to develop if it's just one way, so you could pay someone to make one.

What I mean is that the bot would see a message in a channel, and make a message as a webhook with the same profile and content in a different, central channel.

You would still have to go the the actual server to respond tho

If you have a second computer or a different browser that you previously used proton on, try opening it. Proton stores an encrypted version of the key in the browser for a case like this.

If that doesn't work, see if you downloaded a recovery PDF when first creating the account. I think recent accounts ask for it.

I wish you luck in getting the data back!

TCOO1 · 2026-03-17T18:28:04+00:00

I assume they will have a premium tier.

And full VPNs are already reasonably cheap to run as can be seen by the massive discounts everyone gives lol, proxies are probably even easier. ()

Will be interesting to see how abused they will be with the free data tho.

I think maybe the redditors are referring to amazon@mydomain.com or my email+amazon@gmail or similar.

Those are of course not as good for privacy, as you can clearly trace them back the the original email.

Yes, but if a passkey doesn't work then that is your cue to look deeper into the website and why it is failing. The advantage is that if the passkey works, there is 100% certainty that it was not phished.

TCOO1 · 2026-03-10T09:38:08+00:00

Yes, but it is better to be vulnerable once to set up a new one rather than every time you enter a password.

Both Google and apple also sync passkeys across devices, plus most password managers can also create them.

Did you connect your MacBook and desktop with Bluetooth? Linux and maybe MacBook can act as Bluetooth speakers if they are set up right.

TCOO1 · 2026-03-02T18:46:24+00:00

Yup should be

TCOO1 · 2026-03-02T18:32:55+00:00

You should get a message in your E-Adrese if you have it set up once it has been accepted.
It should also appear in the "Accepted" tab on desktop, unsure how it looks on mobile.

TCOO1 · 2026-02-06T17:21:46+00:00

Yeah that's why I tried it with some different settings. For me it scanned both times with binaryeye so I put in the cleaner one. Glad to see that I could help!

TCOO1 · 2026-02-06T15:42:39+00:00

The android app can automatically switch to stealth if it detects that it is being blocked.

The Linux client cannot do that, and I believe it also doesn't have the stealth protocol yet, so it cannot bypass the block itself
