Also don’t underestimate the fact that OP has a new phone and is trying stuff out. The screen is usually one of the biggest power drainers in phones, so it could be that it just isn’t a fair comparison. I wouldn’t be surprised if the phone is just unlocked and awake more in the first few weeks compared to a phone you’ve been used to.
Keep in mind that in some tld’s (like .nl) the whois data actually dictates who is the legal owner of the domain. If you get into an argument with your registrar, and the whois data shows their name, you can’t take action to move it or reclaim it without their approval.
Also if you let it expire, for the cool off period, only the original owner can reactivate it, that means you can’t reactivate it through another registrar. Maybe your current registrar allows it, bit that’s a maybe.
Personally I’ve been very happy with time4vps dot eu. I’ve used it for a few years untill I finally started using my own hardware. Their support is (was) super quick and helpfull and just generally friendly. At the time they were quite cheap as well.
Then again, the guy giving you that remark usually doesn’t know the difference
The Dutch will be thrilled! The Netherlands second after all!
Yeah, great times… i kept using it as long as I could, at some point insta forced me to change my password every single time i opened it due to “suspicious activity”, then they outright banned my account completely. Never looked back (to insta) since.
I’m kind of interested on this as well. I started using proton a few months ago when my ISP stopped supporting mailservers on consumer contracts.
Should I find something else?
It would be, but thats because you already told it the answer to the original question.
Assuming you don’t know if 3307 is prime, if you ask it like this for any number it wil (almost) always say the number is prime.
For the first issue thats not realy true. To access the totp key you still need the actual device with the key, it’s only now split over multiple devices. Like having multiple bank cards for the same account.
For the seccond issue: Thats a good point, I have not found a good solution for that either, unfortunately
I use vaultwarden (selfhosted bitwarden), which stores both passwords and OTP keys on my own server, which I backup regulary. This allows acces to my OTP keys from any device, as long as it’s in my local network or connected to my VPN.
Must say I really like this solution. If one of my devices fail, I have a pretymuch seamless switch to any of my other devices, which are already configured anyways, since it’s also my passwordmanager.
If the server fails, my phone, pc and laptop all still have the keys cached, so I can use those untill I’ve restored a backup.
I have selfhosted my mail on my own domain, on a server in my closet, for about 4 years. In that time I never switched over realy important things, like government etc, out of fear of missing an email and not knowing. That was the only reason not to switch for me. I’ve had to move a few times in a short peroid and my career started taking more of my time, so I have less time to manage the server, thus I started looking around. Now I settled on proton, I don’t use any of their domains, only my own, and I’ve switched literally everything over, except for the recovery mail for my domain registrar login. Since proton hosts professionally, I trust them not to drop mails without telling me, and I don’t realy see a reason not to switch over. If I ever want to move provider, or start selfhosting again, I’ll setup the new provider, update the dns for my domain and done.
If you have some specific questions about my setup or choices, let me know, although I’m probably not able to reply in the next 12ish hours.
