I use DuckDuckGo's email proxy service, you can sign up for one custom email and generate any amount of temporary-use addresses for the ones you don't trust to stop spamming when you ask them to. The purpose of their system is to be the address you sign up with, and they do their best to strip trackers and garbage, and forward it onto an email of your choice. You can change the forwarding email at any point, so it can be incredibly useful for a transitioning period.

I use Mailcow dockerized for a home domain, it is actually a very acceptable price for me being able to:

  • Control my own DNS rules (it was a nightmare trying to use DuckDNS for an mailserver because of the rules you need to set)
  • Run through a reliable service because DuckDNS occasionally went down, making my domain unreachable and breaking external access of any server I run
  • Have a personalised public home for myself, if I ever want to make blogs or provide public services or something

I used a very lovely and helpful YouTuber's guide for it, Opentaq (here)

Same for me. Although I accepted the apparent potential of it when I was asked to provide all my contact information, I'm happy to not find any of my information public.

Absofuckinglutely, I bought ten years of a domain for £50GBP/~$67USD, unique enough that the price bottomed out and I used a country sub (.uk) which is basically half the price of a .com/.org

I'd drink to that, or Amen to that, if I did either lol

I definitely understand their sentiment though - Google is obviously a search engine monopoly, and I simply found Chromium to be better suited to my needs than Firefox, and settled for a modified Chromium base.

You're absolutely right about Revanced taking the official app and adding mods, I pretty much rely on being logged in for now but the NewPipe etc. alternatives are definitely a more secure option.

Obsidian actually has more features that I appreciate than OneNote! It not only has community plugins, meaning any dev can bang together a feature, but it specialises in workflow, linking notes together, adding tags, and the golden egg of the app is their Graph view. I used this repo as a guide to set it up, except for manually adding the livesync configuration in-app

I'm on it, I'll do a test based on your suggestions

That's pretty accurate tbh, I'm ashamed to say I only know English, but a couple downsides include poor suggestions and aggressive replacement (doesn't save if you prefer an acronym to be lowercase), and it's amusing watching it freak out when I enter an email address. I do need it though - I'm glad it *does have those features, and a clipboard. Plus I often remote access my PC and my Linux server, and being able to use up/down arrow keys is an absolute must, at least for now. Not even the Gboard had that and it took a little while to find one.

I suppose the best keyboard for you is determined by your reliance on features like autocomplete, predictive input (i.e. listing emails in an email box), clipboard, multi-language support, and aesthetic customisation!

Yes, I'm so glad that operators like site: and before: are supported. Necessary for weeding out a few bad results aha

Oh I've been on that page before. What a doozy.

If you follow the conflict with Al-Qaeda, the furthest I could trace was those who ran the group orchestrated 9/11 because the USA murdered three of their members. Prior to that there was no intent to attack the US. The government is so hellbent on inventing conflict and convincing the poor lambs of their people that some localised conflict in Lebanon, if left unchecked, will end their family's livelihood, that they seem to create extremists that are hellbent on Liberating their families from the US.

I've always thought of the USA as a 'world police' and I do not like their overreach.

The US really doesn't get the definition of voluntary lol. Private churches with 'voluntary' demands for money (that's called a subscription), and this.

Jfc the article blatantly gets it wrong. The title says 'gender', the source it talks about says 'sex'. This is why everyone is confused. Gender is not sex. The bill isn't even about protecting identity

I wrote a script to run with Node JS that near perfectly organises (renames and moves) torrented movies. It is designed to work in Linux, to transfer to Emby folder convention. I was working on making a TV show version, maybe merging the two, and porting it back to Windows where I first built the script, but I recently discovered the *arrs do it all. Still, if anyone wants a script that does its best (with guidance and thorough logging), I've stored it here.

Edit: For other reasons I built another script that can clean up an existing media directory, deleting files with any extension the user chooses (subs, images, thumbs and movies with multiple qualities leaving the best one). I've added it to the same repo. This script was more of a WIP, but it gets the job done and includes a help argument.
