Any good email service except tutamail and proton ?

I am now using disroot . I don’t care about anonymity or anything as I just wanna use it to connect to my bank, ID and buy/book shit etc. Which all have my phone number, address, name etc anyway so no point in that . I just want the security privacy to be good enough that no one can easily hack it, steal my OTP, inbox etc and...

I’ve been using Fastmail for a few years and I’m quite happy with the service. Being a semi-large organization I expect their security to be OK, but if anyone has comments on that aspect I welcome them.

As for privacy, I always consider e-mail to be a postcard. If I want to encrypt something, I use GPG locally.

In Spain (not sure about Europe in general) things are slightly different.

I have been living in Canada for 9 years, and there if you see a transaction you don’t recognize in your credit card statement you phone your bank and they take care of that.

Here in Spain you need to go do the police, file a report, then talk to your bank, then they’ll think about it.

So when I came back I was talking with some guys I know and they convinced me that, at least around here, it’s still a good idea to use Paypal. You also get faster refunds, etc (and that could be due to some European regulation, not sure).

I like it a lot, but sometimes I feel he’s going to get eaten alive by the character he’s created. He should tone it down a notch sometimes.

IRC still rules. No ads in my irssi.

If you mean that in some channels only some people can actually “talk”, I think it depends on the configuration of the channel, but it’s a possibility.

I thought people used Discord because you could have video / audio chats (not sure about this, I’ve used it very sparsely.)

And then there are Open Source projects that use Discord as the documentation repository. Hell is a place on the Internet, apparently.

You’re right, I completely misinterpreted the comment. The thing is that “voice” is a very specific term within IRC, and I got confused :D

Damn, I was used to work around shitty stuff on Teams. Are you telling me they’re going to push another, different set of bugs on me now?

You can generate a code grid and remove SMS altogether.

Wealthsimple and Questrade seem to support TOTP but I’m not sure if you can still bypass it with SMS. I don’t think so but I haven’t dug into it.

Questrade allows TOTP, SMS and some other methods, but you can select which ones you want to enable. I have only TOTP and it works as expected.

That I don’t know. I store the TOTP keys into an app on my phone an into a separated KeePass DB that’s different from my regular one. Two copies of that is good enough to let me sleep at night.

I trust there won’t be a hack and all that will get leaked.
