Exporting from Proton Pass to 1password
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.
Portlandish (pdx.sh) is Shutting Down
How times have changed– they always do. Just about one year ago, Samantha and I were celebrating the first anniversary of Portlandish (pdx.sh), reflecting on the joy of building a small, vibrant community. We spoke of how fulfilling it was to offer a little corner of the internet free from ads, fostering conversations about science, art, activism, and, of course, cats.
Today, we announce that Portlandish will cease operations on March 6, 2025. This decision comes in response to the shifting political landscape in the United States, including potential changes to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which could make it increasingly difficult for small platforms like ours to operate safely and sustainably.
