Slashdot. I have a very low 3 digit UID. I followed Rob Malda’s blog before he registered the domain.
I remember having Netscape open on the site and reading it. I walked a couple blocks to by a pack of smokes. Got back home and refreshed the page. Noticed a new post with site registration available, so of course I did.
To this day I still get password reminder requests to my email that I never sent.
I still comment and sometimes get some people replying noticing the low UID.
Silly I know, but it’s cool to me anyway.





Proton is using that as a marketing gimmick. Swiss banking secrecy laws have absolutely nothing to do with user privacy outside of that.
Proton has complied with and handed over user data on multiple occasions.
Yes there is encryption and they can’t see things, but they will hand over what metadata (IP address, device info, recovery email, payment data) they have whenever a Swiss court compels them too.
