esdf··on Skiff – Privacy-first end-to-end encrypted email
openpgp web key directory exists and should work but I don't know if many email providers support or use it
esdf··on Skiff – Privacy-first end-to-end encrypted email
Skiff says they encrypt email subjects while protonmail does not. I cannot determine from browsing if they encrypt the sender and receiver addresses.

Skiff's free tier also has a 'generous' free tier with 4 aliases, 10GB of drive (only? combined with email?) storage, and custom domain support (? !)

esdf··on Proton Pass: Open-Source and Encrypted Password Manager App
Sure, for sending/receiving the email all of that is accessible/needed but some (all, even) of this could be stored encrypted by the user's password/mailbox-password.

If I remember correctly: one of the reasons they don't encrypt that metadata is so they can do the search box server-side.

esdf··on Proton Pass: Open-Source and Encrypted Password Manager App
If you are paying for Pass Plus or Proton Unlimited then you have integrated 2FA/TOTP which Bitwarden also makes you pay for, same with Yubikey/FIDO2/etc 2-step login, which I think is possible for signing into proton pass. And no desktop app for proton pass, maybe some day though?

You might be thinking of https://encryp.ch/blog/disturbing-facts-about-protonmail/

edit: I'd like to inject a reminder that protonmail doesn't encrypt all of your mailbox contents. From their privacy policy:

"we have access to the following email metadata: sender and recipient email addresses, the IP address incoming messages originated from, attachment name, message subject, and message sent and received times"

esdf··on The Last Days of Satoshi: What Happened When Bitcoin’s Creator Disappeared
I’m more interested in the original registrar (and ICANN?) of bitcoin.org having a name and payment that likely links directly to Satoshi. I would be amazed if nobody / nogovernment has looked at that information.
esdf··on Ask HN: How often do You write a comment/reply to this forum but not submit it?
Ha, you got me. I was about leave instead of saying how whatever comment I make has generally been commented already

It hasn’t rolled out to all users yet
esdf··on Tell HN: Never search for domains on Godaddy.com
ISNIC doesn't require domestic NS providers. They do require the nameservers to register a contact though. https://www.isnic.is/en/domain/req#req-hosts
