Manifestos, Fear, and ‘Loser Thinking’: Inside Proton’s AI Reckoning (www.404media.co)

Andy Yen, the CEO of Proton, had a message for an employee in the company’s security Slack channel who urged the company to at least take a few days to pentest newly written code before pushing it live. “That’s bullshit and loser thinking. Of course it’s possible to be fast and secure,” Yen wrote in the channel at the end of August. “Stop thinking always of how to be slower, and focus more on how to be faster.”

In a follow-up message, Yen reiterated his point: “only losers think like that.” His ultimate message for the team was to “stop lovingly handcrafting all our code and use AI more.”

Guess I need to make sure I get my email server up before the next renewal. Since that was recent, hopefully way before next renewal.

I'm not sure I can win the war for deliverable self-hosted email, and I send almost no email ever anyway, so I'm considering setting up a server that accepts email directly but relays outgoing mail through a relay that's actually trusted by email providers. Can anyone recommend good relays for that?

I did exactly this (except relay), started a few months ago as I don't have a ton of time to sink into it. Went with Mailcow Dockerized (Tried Stalwart, too much behind paywall) on my VPS. My renewal is next month and since I was already paying for a VPS I figured I should tinker with this instead of paying for Proton. I already had domain(s) so that part was fine, I almost never send either but tested sending to gmail and proton. Initially had issues with gmail but was able to resolve them by adding my domain at https://postmaster.google.com/

So far no other issues hampering the project, been receiving all emails fine including catchall. I do have in the back of my mind if I ever need to back out of self hosting to look into migado.com.
