The real downside to subdomain addressing is that very few other providers support it. I think Migadu is the only one I could find. If you do end up needing to leave Fastmail, you might have to configure each and every subdomain as a unique email domain somewhere else. I would avoid it if you're starting fresh.

Developers cannot issue refunds from the Apple App Store. Contacting the developer by physical mail doesn’t have any effect.

I could understand limiting new registrations, but permanently and irreparably breaking people's website domains and email addresses feels pretty hostile considering how little resources this must take up.

The historic information in here was really interesting, and a great example of an article rapidly expanding in scope and detail. How they combatted corporate IT “security” software by pretending to be a VPN is quite unexpected.

Cal Academy released their own press release[1] about this, which included a nice gallery of photos and videos[2].

They are working on an SDK, which they will use for their own Linux client: https://proton.me/blog/proton-drive-sdk-preview

If you want to get location accuracy lower than 500m without significantly impacting battery life, you can use region monitoring. There's two paths:
1. Set up a region around the user's current location. If they exit it, note the location and set up another one around that location. This will give you around 100m accuracy, which is the minimum diameter of the monitored region.
2. Set up regions in various cardinal directions that nearly-or-just-barely overlap. If they enter one of those regions, note the location and set up another set around the current location. This can give you something closer to 50m accuracy.
For (2), this is how I did it in the Home Assistant iOS app, largely for zones that people wish to monitor which are smaller than 100m. You can find some of the annoying math here[1] (and there's tests all over for it), the logic for setting up regions here[2], and computing them here[3].

You then use `restic` telling it to use rclone like...
restic ... --option=rclone.program="ssh -i <identity> user@host" --repo=rclone:
I've been doing this on rsync.net since at least February; works great!
