Convenience beats owning things. 99.999% of non-techies I've talked to do not want to manage their computer or media. They don't want to learn how things work or how to fix them. The video says it, "... it took away the burden of ownership."

I can't even convince them to use my seedbox to torrent media—heck I've even offered that I'll do all the work, they just have to access Jellyfin! But, no. They prefer to pay to get access to the media now instead of messaging me, waiting for me to get the media, and then watching it.

At the same time, they'll complain that "everything is a subscription now!" I'm like bro...

Holy moly, I did not know this existed! Thanks! Just turned this on!

I just sold my Framework 13 after daily driving it for a year. The HiDPI display bugs and workarounds just got too annoying.

I went back to my old Dell XPS 13 9310 and I'm loving it.

Any resources you'd recommend?

I suspect that it goes down and stays down whenever there is an app update, but I haven't confirmed it yet.

Does the plain wireguard app stay up during updates?

if the cameras don’t load, open Tailscale and make sure it’s connected

I've been using Tailscale for a few months now and this is my only complaint. On Android and macOS, the Tailscale client gets randomly killed. So it's an extra thing you have to manage.

It's almost annoying enough to make me want to host my services on the actual internet....... almost... but not yet.

One time, I was at a concert at a small-ish venue. I went to see a popular-ish band that I like, place was packed. The band started like 30-45 minutes late. When they finally got on stage, I happened to yell out during a brief pause, "Finally! We've been waiting forever!"

No one said anything and the show kept moving—but immediately after I yelled that the girl in front of me turned around and gave me a huge scowling look, like she was super embarrassed for me, like I had just done something really awful.

That look has stuck with me ever since.

OK! Fuggit. I'll write my own review... with blackjack.

I signed up. No credit card necessary so far, but also my account is half-activated. Someone has to manually approve me, which fine. Seems like an anti-spam measure. I'll report back more later.

Oh, wow. Didn't realize Tuta didn't work with IMAP/POP/SMTP. https://tuta.com/support/howto#imap

Not sure what they're running for email, but for the other cloud services, I think they just run Nextcloud?

As far as I know it's telemetry off and no pocket, plus container tabs. But for the most part, it's pretty similar (which I personally like).

Seems like these guys: https://nubo.coop/en/

They provide email, calendar, contacts, and cloud storage.

On their mission statement page they explicitly have:
