    I like the idea they had in Spain of the community having events to incorporate nomads into the community more.

    But also I think the important thing hanging over it is how you can experience a place without making it worse for the locals. There’s a two fold thing that I’ve seen while travelling.

    One is the more obvious AirBnb scenario, which drives up housing costs. But there’s another.

    That other is that even if you do try to be a responsible traveller and stay in more community oriented arrangements, the money you bring in for both housing and expenditures goes to the local capitalist class, which makes them richer and still drives up prices, because they become the ones who can buy things up and increase prices. The general trend is that prices go up more than wages do, so people become poorer.

    I’ve been doing this for a while now, and even though I try to be conscientious, I know that even being there and spending money can be both a good and bad thing for the locals.

    Proton and its services have been pretty good. Some things to know about proton mail:

    • Search is only for titles, as content is encrypted
    • You can do search in the body in your browser. It downloads your email into the browser and searchers locally. It takes a while to do this and build up indexes. I haven’t had too much issue searching for things though.
    • Since they don’t read your email, no automatic calendar events if there isn’t a .ics

    The VPN had been great

    The storage isn’t enough for me to be able to move off of my main cloud provider. There also isn’t a way to pin a file on Android for it - and the 500gGB of space is less than I use

    The Pass app is handy and it’s easy to make aliases, though it often doesn’t know to fill in, doesn’t do it, or something, and I need to open the app to copy paste. Pretty trivial though.

    I’m sticking with them. I don’t really have a reason to leave. The aliases are really nice, the catch is that it’s not easy to have them go to a sub email address that I use - it has to go to your primary email. Not a huge deal though.
