  • I have both Proton Unlimited and Mailbox. I prefer keeping my Mailbox account for mail, calendar and contacts. With Proton, I’d have to use their apps or some bridge, whereas Mailbox can be used with any app. I also have multiple domains connected with Mailbox and use plenty of aliases, so I don’t really see why Proton would be better in that regard.

    I don’t have any suggestions to add, but as someone who subscribes to both, I was simply wondering what Mailbox lacks compared to Proton in your opinion.



  • It really depends on your use case. Most of my simple chat messages are the same as I would have in any public space. I have no need for encryption, I have need for convenience in that regard. With Telegram I have my chat history on all devices and don’t need to use my phone to connect which are two must-haves for me. For my use case, Signal is the worse option. That doesn’t make Signal bad, just not suitable for me.

    As a privacy-concious person I am very much aware of the non-secure nature of my chats, but since that is not a factor of consideration to me when it comes to casual chats with a few friends and family members. The worst thing Telegram could do is analyse my chats and … then what?







  • Started out with Mandrake in 1998 and got into Debian shortly after. I moved to Gentoo in 2002. In the later 2000s I only used my desktop for gaming and stopped dual booting for many years. My home server runs BSD and I was using a 2010 MacBook as my laptop. The only Linux box in my home was my HTPC, running Ubuntu.

    When I heard of Proton I started dual booting again. In 2020 I got rid of Windows and the aging MacBook. Since then my desktop, laptop and HTPC run on Arch. The server is still FreeBSD.








  • 23.1 already has ray tracing support, although it doesn’t work on all titles. With 23.2 a notable example that should have rt support is Cyberpunk 2077. The rt performance should also increase by a lot, and even more in 23.3.

    That said, I also think I will turn it on, say the frame rates are too low and switch it off again. And that’s with a 7900 XTX. What I have seen of ray tracing I do not consider all that impressive. Maybe experiencing it myself will change my mind, but the Radeon 7000 series is not powerful enough in that department I think. And considering I want this card to last 4ish years, I probably won’t see ray tracing on my machine any time soon, unless FRS 3 proves to be surprisingly good.
