Cozy.io as a replacement for Proton Drive?

Joan Westenberg mentioned this in her “Trump-proof tech stack” post; anyone have any experience with this? It says it’s open source, self-hostable, and based in France.

Unfortunate Andy Yen comments aside, a big plus is that cozy actually has a Linux desktop client (!), unlike Proton.

If the US wants your info they’ll just beat your ass half to death with a rubber hose.

Still worth doing. At that point they have to make a deal for your compliance.

The deal is they kill you, you are not that valuable to them in the end. If you are, you wind up at a black site with some guy who’s not in the military.

And at that point its up to you if you want to give it up. The point is you are enforcing compliance to protect your rights. Please go lick boot somewhere else.

Who’s enforcing whom to comply with what now?

If you encrypt then you enforced your rights protecting against unreasonable searches.

My friend, everything you don’t understand is not bootlicking. Grow up. I’m an anarcho-communist.

And yet you ask people to relinquish part of their defense?

Where did I ask that?

If the US wants your info they’ll just beat your ass half to death with a rubber hose.

Your statement here and every follow up suggest you are asking people to not encrypt. I am saying its worth doing regardless as you impose your own compliance on unreasonable searches.

You don’t understand what I’m saying at all.

You need to understand your exposure, and who your adversary is. Is it big corps? Hackers? Oppressive governments? NSAs?

What I’m saying is if you’re trying to hide stuff from the last two, you shouldn’t have anything encryptable that they can get to. Keeping that information digitally and not clandestinely is not good.

If you’re trying to not get tracked online by Google that’s an entirely different approach.

The rusty wrench approach
