Ding ding! After the Proton fiasco, I got a domain and have started moving my accounts to that email, which connects to Tuta

Getting pretty tired of shithead Nazis claiming they’re autistic. Autism doesn’t make you a Nazi

Yeah, I was in a mood this morning. Seasonal depression is a doozy this time of year.

I’m actually planning to do some containers on my balcony this year. I do miss having an outdoor garden, though

Spend lots of time gardening, reading, writing, and painting. Unfortunately, it seems like I’m going to have to spend the next forty years as a wage slave before I can enjoy that life

Less than Google is, for now. But still bad enough for me to be switching to Tuta

And you have to do it within the narrow time and energy constraints created by needing to work to stay alive.

I’ll definitely do that! Thanks for the recommendations

Why is that? I’m switching away regardless, so I’m just curious. I started using it because it made everything simple

I don’t use any *arr, though I’ve been meaning to look more into it. I do use Jellyfin though, so I’ll probably start there.

I’ll take a look at Nginx proxy manager for domain configuration, like another user in this thread suggested

Thank you! That’s helpful. How would you go about setting up a password and 2FA for your own site? I would like to make my services “publicly” available (to myself and friends/family)

Thank you!

Are there any simple services you’d recommend starting with to get a feel for things? I’ll probably start with AdGuard, unless there’s a better option

And I don’t plan to use both at the same time, so conflicting ports shouldn’t be an issue.

Is the process for configuring your own domain with Docket enough of a pain that I should consider sticking with YunoHost?

My issue was not that Andy Yen made the comment he did (as much as I disagree). My problem was the Proton account making an official statement doubling down on it.

He did make a subsequent post trying to clarify and apologize, but at this point, the cat is out of the bag, IMO. I’m switching to Tuta for email, Mullvad for VPN, and self-hosting Nextcloud for storage.

When I was in high school, I excelled in math and science, so I was pushed super hard to go into engineering for college. I ended up changing majors eventually, but holy shit did I not understand just how strong the engineering school -> “defense” industry pipeline is. They recruit engineering students hard

It was an eye-opening experience, realizing just how many people were comfortable working for these companies as long as they got a fat paycheck

4 days a week, 4-6 hours per day. Having a third weekend day is wonderful, and it really helps with running errands and making appointments. And I have a hard time doing anything for more than 6 hours in a day tops. Unless I’m on my meds, I’ve got about 3 hours of focus before lunch and three after, and that’s it. Which isn’t much of a problem in my current role, where I usually have more time than I need. What I hate the most is the obligation to sit at my desk for 8 hours a day, every day, even when there’s nothing to do

I’d love to retire to a cozy inn with an endless pot of stew

Exactly. If it wasn’t clear in 2016, it certainly is now - Trump is a symptom, not the root problem

Out of curiosity, why do you think it wouldn’t work?

Very cool! I had no idea this was a thing! Very up my alley - I’m going to dig in some more, thanks for sharing

I am a relatively new Yunohost user, and I’m a big fan. I’ve dabbled with Docker, but I’ve never been quite able to figure out how to make it work. Yunohost took the hard part away and made it pretty easy to set up.

That said, I don’t view it as a long term solution for me. I don’t like not really knowing entirely how it works, and I’ve had issues trying to configure the reverse proxy to connect it with a domain name. (I purchased one from Porkbun, which is apparently not supported.) Until I learn a little more, though, I like it.

I’ve heard this a lot - is it just a common joke in privacy circles, or is anyone using Tor/Tails actually likely to be on a list?
