Keen readers may realize there was a windows in there between Lavabit shutting down and Protonmail being available. While I searched for a solution, I used my even older Yahoo mail account. I do keep my Gmail account active so that no one tries to utilize it to impersonate me. Virtually zero emails go through my Gmail account.

• Is Cloud the new mainframe? - During my career I have always felt like someone was trying to build a new cheaper mainframe. I remember Sun doing something with thin clients that reminded me of the evolution of the mainframe. I said the same thing about cloud computing when it started. We held off diving in, mostly because we were healthcare and were concerned about medical data being in the cloud. Now our datacenter is cheaper than the cloud.

This is why I stopped using DuckDuckGo.

Using a simple link like I did to others in the past but might play with the API down the road.
