  • Exactly the combo I use. Been happy with Migadu for the last 2 years. Although, purelymail also seems interesting.

  • ... I'm not a purelymail user or know much about it... But, I guess I am old now...

    I'm guessing the service being in beta for 6 years is a joke. It's a reference to Gmail being in beta forever.

  • Oooooh, wait. Does Quadlet let you run containers via systemd unit files??

    Quadlet is a tool for running Podman containers under systemd in an optimal way by allowing containers to run under systemd in a declarative way.

    That's cool! Thanks! TIL!

  • Minor gripe about the trackpad sticking intermittently

    Aaaah!!! It's not just me! I used a track pad on another computer and realized the Framework's stickiness wasn't just in my head!

  • I currently own a Framework 13... and... after daily driving it for a year, I decided I don't like it.

    The deal beaker for me is the high dpi display. Linux just isn't 100% compatible with hpi displays. I'm tired of my apps either having blurry fonts or tiny text. Ironic because hi dpi displays are supposed to look better.

    With Framework, you'll be pushed into using Fedora (it doesn't solve all the scaling issues) or pushed to stop using apps you like because they're using older GTK (some times there are no alternatives). You'll also have to dive into debugging scaling issues.

    I just switched back to my Dell XPS 13 9310 FHD and it was a breath of fresh air having everything just work. Any distro, any apps, no scaling debugging, text is readable and crisp, app UI elements look properly sized.

    I only ever switched out the modular ports once, but honestly it would have been better to buy a dongle instead because that would work on any computer.

    Oh, and I tried the higher resolution screen. It didn't fix the scaling issues.

    Oh, and, I actually had a display fail on me! After like 8 months, half the display went black. Thankfully, they were nice enough to send me a free replacement, but it definitely left me feeling like the Framework isn't that sturdy or durable.

    The shell also dents easily. I dropped a small music player from desk height onto the top lid and it left a small dent. (I have like 3 dents on the lid.)

    Repairability is the one feature that the Framework beats everyone else on, but to me the cons outweigh the pros.

  • Yeah, you're right. Bad advice actually. Oops.

  • Personally, I'm tunning it out. The only time I dive into it is around elections so I can make an informed vote. But, after that it seems like I'm utterly powerless to change anything.

    I used to think being informed would come in handy to change people's minds, but that never happens. People have to change their own minds.

  • My grampa made it to 104. I think running his store helped.

  • Shortcut: use Tailscale to create your own private network and avoid hosting on the big, bad Internet. Otherwise, you really have to be careful on how you protect your services.

    Minor downside (or upside) is that you'll have to install the Tailscale app on each device you want to make part of the network.

    This made hosting at home a lot easier for me.

    Update: Ah! I misread the post. Tailscale doesn't make sense for this use case. My bad! šŸ˜…

  • 7 years of updates is nice

  • True actually. Browsing Subscribed is better than All. Although, you have to venture out into All to find new communities to subscribe to.

    I also found switching between Hot and Active sorts mixes things up.

  • You have to block A LOT of communities. In fact, blocking communities is more important than subscribing to them!

    Also: Voyager (or other apps) with filters for keywords.

  • Fucking noice, dude. šŸ‘ Honestly, yeah, why even diamonds. They brainwashed us good.

  • Lab-grown rocks

    When I was getting married a few years ago, I remember thinking fuck real diamonds lab-grown are literally the same thing. I remember getting some push back from some weirdos about how "real" diamonds are some how better or how people will think I'm a cheapskate or how people will feel bad for my wife...

    Well, fast forward a few years and literally nobody cares, thinks about, or has said anything negative about my wife's ring. We are both 1000000% happy and satisfied with the decision to buy lab grown.

  • Well, that was disappointing. I guess that explains why he deleted his Mastadon account recently.

  • Forgejo

    I believe https://codeberg.org/ is a hosted Forgejo instance. It has a more familiar UI, similar to GitHub.

    Although, they have restrictions on the types of projects they're willing to host.

  • Hell yes. lemmy.world has always been slow for me. That's why I switched!

  • Being a DIYer is a good way to boycott stuff. Scumbag mechanic trying to screw you on the oil change? DIY. Scumbag cloud company, trying to hold your data hostage? DIY, self host or write your own!

    Obviously it doesn't work with everything, but for certain things it works really well.

    It's really hard to boycott when you've been de-skilled and depend on a service.

  • If all my friends, family, and coworkers could get off WhatsApp, I would be so happy.

  • Eh, names may sound stupid at first, but after saying it a million times it'll start to sound normal. "Google" sounded stupid and silly when they just first started, but now it sounds formal and makes you think of dystopia and dread.
