Do not trust anything I write down. I have this horrible habit of not checking sources.

  • 90% of the time, that’s a valid concern, but you can always read the script first.

    It would be a best practice to read any script you want to run on your system. Although the installation instructions tell you to just pipe it into bash.

    And also, if proton wanted to fuck you over, a malicious bash script isnt even a top 10 easy vector. Why trust them with encrypted email if you are suspicious of an install script?

    My concern is not so much proton fucking you over. There are pleny of attack surfaces between you and the server you’re downloading it from.

    Installing software on your system usually lets you check a gpg signature or a hash if you’re downloading a binary. This method provides no such thing.

    A company concerned with security and encryption should know better.








  • Great tool. Thanks for sharing. A simple generator where you can a) select the issues you oppose, b) generate a letter with the option to revise it and c) after selecting your country of residence get the full list of representatives, which you can select/deselect.

    The tool then lets you either send the mail directly from the tool or copy the mail and e-mail addresses if you wish to send it from your own e-mail.

    This is a great tool which lowers the treshold significantly for supporting the issue. (Don’t have to research the legal texts, don’t have to write a letter, don’t have to find the representatives mails).

    My gratitude goes to the creators.
