Amazing to see the progress that Home Assistant has made with backups, nice to see the first integrations adding their backup locations. I would love to be able to store my Home Assistant backups in Proton Drive. I think their API is very limited (most people integrate with it via rsync) and am won...
Well, that's... less than ideal. I use a couple of their services, it was a royal pain in the ass to get all my email stuff moved over to Proton in the first place.
I'll have to keep an eye on what they're doing, I'll take this as a warning sign. I'm moving most of my stuff to self host anyway, with the exception of email.
Addy user here! Been using it for years now and just last week, I saw an uptick in one of my aliases. Turned it off with a single toggle and no more spam.
The ability to self-host is awesome if I ever get to that stage. But right now, I want to keep giving them money.
For cloud storage it should be a different service anyways, it's best not to combine things with the same company. So for example Tresorit for storage, Bitwarden for passwords, Mullvad for a VPN, etc..
Proton is only encrypted between proton users. Proton mail to/from gmail or outlook is plain text, unless the recipient sets up PGP, and you can do E2EE with PGP over any host.
All mail is typically encrypted in transit with smtps, and Proton mail is encrypted at rest. But that's true, it's not e2ee, so I guess they could just scrape it all as it comes in, if they're not doing so already.
Both companies are based in Europe though so I figure US spying laws don't apply?
For what? I'm using Nextcloud self hosted on unraid and exposed via Nginx Proxy Manager for external access for storage.
Works fine.
I have not upgraded to the 2025 HA yet because of the backup drama of the first release. Probably will this weekend now that the major issues were addressed.
Unrelated to this topic but also zigbee2mqtt v2 seems to be a nightmare too I'm not ready to deal with that "upgrade"
