cleaning out my gmail box

i will hold on to the google account to prevent impersonation, but please don't use it anymore, if you really need to mail me use my protonmail address (i strongly prefer other contact methods though like IRC+OTR or on here)

@orionwl I always recommend getting your own domain. Preferably self hosting.

@pete @orionwl are there risks of your domain host spying on you? I know it’s a wager of ProtonMail vs Godaddy, but I guess I trust PM guys more than most domain registrars.

@ron @orionwl Pretty low. It's kinda a complex topic, because there's a few different attack scenarios. But basically, subverting DNS records is pretty noisey in most circumstances, so it's not likely at all that a DNS provider would do it. Not entirely impossible. But I've never heard of one doing it.

@pete @orionwl I see, thanks a lot. OTOH, it could technically be seized right? More context from PM team regarding .com and .ch domain choice: protonmail.com/support/knowled

@ron @orionwl Depends on what domain name you pick.

Anyway seizure is a risk for any country code. It's not that common though.

@pete @orionwl Thanks, and one last thing: you mentioned “getting your own domain, preferably self hosting”. What do you mean by self-hosting domain, or were you referring to self-hosting email ?
