Article: https://proton.me/blog/deepseek

Calls it "Deepsneak", failing to make it clear that the reason people love Deepseek is that you can download and it run it securely on any of your own private devices or servers - unlike most of the competing SOTA AIs.

I can't speak for Proton, but the last couple weeks are showing some very clear biases coming out.

I'm strongly considering switching to them! How do you like it?

I have been using them for the same reason after trying a couple of other ones. I didn't like their client for Linux, but I'm happy otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

The fact that they have so many clients for different Linux distros was something I liked. I was trying to figure out how to move to Bazzite, and they have an RPM build that you can easily install.

No complaints here. At first I thought the gui was inferior to surfshark's. But then I realized surfshark's only looks more polished (at least on linux/gnome). It works fine.

And if you really want to be paranoid (while also using an environment-destroying tech), you could pay with monero and then they don't really have much info on you (except your IP)

The interface - GUI and website - is straight out of 2008 and documentation could be better, but otherwise it works just fine for torrenting and browsing. No complaints there.

Can you easily get config files to set up wireguard without having to use their app? Secondarily to that, how easy is their port forwarding setup?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

They have their own config generator and port forwarding is really easy to set up IMO. Both need to be logged in to see, though.

Thank you. I'm going to check them out. Appreciate the links and info!
