@lynn did you know there was an alternative to the official Protonmail bridge. I’ve had a hard time setting up the official bridge on guix (OS) and my first contribution to guix was actually to package this alternative named #hydroxide, therefore available in guix now. We can even plan a small video-interaction to show you if you are interested 🤷

Finally got #hydroxide package (#protonmail bridge by @emersion) to be merged into #guix. This was my first contribution to #guix. Still need to figure out how to fluidify the process.

set up #hydroxide on #android, can finally use #protonmail with the good apps #fossgirlies

@parvXm Protonmail charges for their bridge but there is a 3rd party FOSS package called #hydroxide.

But note that hydroxide broke for me recently. It also uses the shitty #golang, where the core devs don’t know the difference between a socks proxy and an http proxy. It’s actually wrongly named in the language and that incorrect naming bled into hydroxide. Anyway, fwiw.

@bojkotiMalbona I understand how to work around it. The “pointless” comment was because #hydroxide’s IMAP support is little more than an over-engineered local mail spool.

@bojkotiMalbona TIL about #hydroxide

“For now, [IMAP] only supports unencrypted local connections.”

Well, that sounds both terrible *and* pointless.

@Katy @k8vsy #Protonmail pushes CAPTCHA sometimes, unlike #tutanota PM’s app is not on #FDroid, & you’re trapped on their vulnerable javascript-based client unless you subscribe to their bridge or use #Hydroxide (but hydroxide was broken last time I checked). Protonmail also ditched the fedi & went exclusively #Twitter for announcements, calling into question their digital rigthts commitment

#Protonmail (whose microblogging presence is limited to Elon Musk’s assets) has become quite a burden in the past couple yrs. #Hydroxide is broken, thus pushing us to use the web client (because #Electronmail is broken too), and the web client periodically pushes a CAPTCHA. So it’s a game of trying to login as infrequently as possible, yet if too much time passes your acct is dead.

#Protonmail is playing a cat-mouse game with #Hydroxide, the FOSS alternative to PM’s bridge, and Protonmail is winning (sadly enough): https://github.com/emersion/hydroxide/issues/179
