  • I switched over to Proton from Gmail about 8-10 months ago and it’s been great so far. Folders and filters have been like what I was used to. The only thing I haven’t played around with much is calendar and invites.

    I ended up going for the whole proton bundle since it included the vpn, storage, and custom domains (up to 10 addresses I think)








  • I think the same can be said for a lot of fields. E.g., just because someone’s an excellent architect doesn’t make them a good animator by default.

    There’s also so many variations on the types of programming. Maybe a mathematician might be better suited for data science rather than frontend stuff. And even then, each person is different and has their own set of skills part from whatever their formal training is.

    What I think makes good programmers is having the ability to bash your head against your desk while debugging, but still walking away at the end of the day loving the job and problem solving. Persistence and creativity go a long way in programming.





  • You could actually use Backblaze for both scenarios: as a normal cloud storage where you can access stuff back n forth or for long term backups and storage.

    I use Duplicacy to copy and encrypt my main folders once a week. But you can set schedules for backups as you wish. Depending on how much you’re backing up it may get a bit pricey though. I have a little under a couple terabytes backed up and pay around $6 for Backblaze. They have a client I’ve never used that might be helpful as well.

    One thing I wanna look into is using Duplicacy to also back up really important documents to my proton storage.
