  • Under Swiss law, ProtonMail should notify the user if a third party makes a request for their private data and if the data is for a criminal proceeding. However, there’s a big catch/ loophole here. On its law enforcement page, ProtonMail highlights that the notification can be delayed in the following cases:

    Where providing notice is temporarily prohibited by the Swiss legal process itself, by Swiss court order, or applicable Swiss law;

    Where, based on information supplied by law enforcement, we, in our absolute discretion, believe that providing notice could create a risk of injury, death, or irreparable damage to an identifiable individual or group of individuals;

    As a general rule though, targeted users will eventually be informed and afforded the opportunity to object to the data request, either by ProtonMail or by Swiss authorities.

    This incident seems to fall under the first case, and that’s why ProtonMail didn’t notify the user. “Some orders are final and cannot be appealed, that’s just how the legal system works, not everything can be appealed. The user wasn’t notified for the same reason that you don’t notify a suspect before arresting them,” says ProtonMail founder Andy Yen.















  • I ran swarm in a homelab and ended up switching back. I don’t remember all the details I had issues with, but be aware of quorum. Here is the link to high availability docs. If one of the nodes goes down then you can’t do anything with the other. I also had issues getting everyone back online when one went down (with only two). I had three nodes, but one failed and I didn’t replace it. If one of the remaining two went offline I had to manually setup the swarm again each time. I found it to be a hassle because I didn’t have enough need for multiple nodes and high availability.

    I now use Pangolin (Underlying traefik) on a VPS which VPNs back into my home where I host the sites. I have the VPN on it’s own proxmox container in the same VLAN as my servers.
