+1 for Fastmail

Since anything but fully on-device encrypted/decrypted mails is still inherently insecure due to being unable to control the receiving end I consider email an insecure medium by default.

That was my reason to go with fastmail when I moved away from Gmail a couple of years ago and I am very happy with their service and apps. I am also paying three years at a time and would like to pay even further ahead of time, but what can you do.

I tried proton but didn’t like being locked into using their apps or hosting the SMTP bridge at which point I might as well use a less secure approach to begin with that is more comfortable to use.

Well, technically you don’t need a domain. An IP is enough. If you don’t have your own IP (like a shared host) you’ll need to put it in a subdirectory but there is no need to have a domain to put something on the Internet.

A lot of people I know regularly use screen sharing through discord or opentalk. Both for work/productivity and while gaming (watching each other, helping, sharing what people are up to etc).

To get people to switch it sadly should support all features: text, voice, video and sending files/images/gifs/videos.

It’s tough.

I just bought an Innioasia Y1, which is an iPod classic clone for $50.

Put an unofficial Rockbox port on it and installed a 512gb micro SD card. Ignoring the mediocre DAC and comparatively unresponsive click wheel it’s pretty good. I finally have my entire music library with me again and look at my phone less often (both of which were goals of getting an mp3 player again).

I was big into mp3 players 15-20 years ago and used Rockbox on all of them so this is really nice especially at the price point.

PS: They are working on a Y2 that improves upon a lot of things. The Y1 was marketed as a kids device but is awesome with Rockbox on it and went viral the past few months.

Yup. Been on Niri for a couple of months and it works very well and is super stable.

Niri seems to have a vision whereas Hyprland folks just seem to push as many features and changes as they can with little consideration.

I moved on to Niri a couple of months ago for various reasons, constantly having to fix and re-check my config against the docs being one of them.

For me Niri performs better, I really like the workflow and the dev behind it is very deliberate with new features and changes. Feels like he has a clear vision on how it’s supposed to work and it shows imo.

I loved Q3CTF4 / SpaceCTF. Kinda sad that arena shooters mostly died out in favor of hero shooters with special abilities and stuff.

I feel like Windows 11 is just another Microsoft “Windows moment”.

I’ve used this neovim keybind for years:

vim.keymap.set({'n', 'x'}, 'gy', '"+y') -- copy
vim.keymap.set({'n', 'x'}, 'gp', '"+p') -- paste 

I was able to copy/paste between nvim and other applications on sway, Hyprland, Niri and KDE on Wayland.

The global clipboard register + should also work in modern regular vim afaik.

You must use a different Wayland than I do.

I play competitive multiplayer games with VRR on a 4k240 monitor in a tiling wm with direct scanout. Color management support (HDR, 10bit, anything beyond 8bit sRGB) is also coming along.

I’ve never had a better working setup than this. Everything on X was painful. Even just getting vsync to work properly used to be tricky in some cases.

I agree that wayland does miss features compared to X but a lot of them are conscious design decisions and don’t affect me personally. For example running graphical applications remotely through e.g. SSH or the complete lack of security allowing any application to easily read my keyboard input.

What does the log say? PROTON_LOG=1 launch parameter and then check your home directory.

When activating with MAS you might as well just install a Pro version anyways.

It wouldn’t even surprise me if some of the 150kg of cocaine went missing.

About 20% of global traffic is routed through Cloudflare so unfortunately Cloudflare is very much a massive case of centralization.

A Cloudflare outage would affect a huge number of websites and services and they have some degree of control over the way you host your and use their services.

What does that have to do with anything? Pretty much all monitors also support FreeSync which works just as well.

Nice. I didn’t know about that and will check it out later. I am also using ALVR to play modded Beat Saber multiplayer on linux and have a very well working setup and configuration by now but it’s still not great compared to Virtual Desktop on Windows with my Pico 4.

Good call. Useful site for those who take advantage of bandcamp Fridays regularly: https://isitbandcampfriday.com/

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-pound_burger

A third-pound burger is a hamburger containing a patty that weighs one-third of a pound (approximately 5.3 ounces or 150 grams) before cooking. It is larger than a quarter-pound burger (4 ounces or 113 grams), which is commonly offered by fast-food chains. The third-pound burger became widely known in the 1980s following a marketing campaign by A&W Restaurants in the United States. The campaign, which sought to compete with McDonald’s Quarter Pounder, was unsuccessful because consumers misunderstood fractions, making it a case study in consumer behavior and marketing communication.
