2025-07-03 Edit: WARNING: This export method DOES NOT PRESERVE EXTRA FIELDS from Proton Pass. I have an ever bigger mess now. T_T

What a mess. I changed email providers from Fastmail to Proton Mail a while ago. While doing so, I found that they also offered a password manager called Proton Pass. Thinking that being completely on the Proton suite would make my life easier, I moved my personal credentials into Proton Pass.

In time, I would come to regret that decision.

Well, pdx.sh is gone. The VM, DB and massive object storage are all deleted. I’m feeling a mixture of sadness and relief. I want to say that I’m hopeful that not being responsible for running that server is going to free up my creative energy for some exciting new project that I am announcing today but I don’t have anything to announce. I’m exhausted by both becoming a parent and by the general state of the world right now. What I need most is some time to rest and reflect while working my day job, then maybe some new ideas will come. If you want to do the social media thing, I can now be found as @[email protected].
