  • I live in Brazil. When I lived on the farm, father set it up so the water would come from a natural underground mine and it was entirely safe to drink. However, in the town, we always bought gallons of packet water instead of using it from the tap. In the city I drank tap water for some years and didn’t die, but the taste of the water changed when we began using a filter (thought it was likely that it was because the thing connecting our tap to the system was made out of rubber and a colony of bacteriae began to grow there).

    Still, Brazil as a whole is mid risk for intestinal parasites and everyone is recommended to get a filter or packed water by the UN, and also to take anti-vermin medicine once per year.



  • Proton retains your data definitively, and although it is encrypted, they’re the ones who generate your encryption key as well. If they want to act maliciously, they are totally able to. Also can’t register using a VPN or Tor without giving personable identifiable info. Tutanota has the second problem as well.
