Cool idea. But since it doesn't seem to be open source and self-hostable, I won't trust it.

FWIW, I have no issues sending mails/having them be received from my self-hosted to Google mail
On many trackers, you get "paid" for time seeded. Usually in the forms of bonus points or the like. You can then exchange these for improving your ratio (or a freeleech token, or an invite,...).
It's a system that also rewards keeping media available even if you are not uploading to anyone.
Also, keep in mind that often, a large part of the available content is freeleech (meaning leeching it doesn't affect your ratio), but seeding those torrents usually still does improve your ratio.
Pimsleur. It's very different than Duolingo, in that it is almost entirely audio-based. However, at least in my experience, it actually gets you to the point of speaking and understanding a language much more rapidly than Duolingo. Way, way less gamified though. It expects you to put in half an hour a day where you just concentrate on the lesson.
Isn't that what Sichuan peppers do?
Sorry, I should have mentioned: liking bare-metal does not mean disliking abstraction.
I would absolutely go insane if I had to go back to installing and managing each and every services in their preferred way/config file/config language, and to diy backup solutions, and so on.
I'm currently managing all of that through a single nix config, which doesn't only take care of 90% of the overhead, it also contains all config in a single, self-documenting, language.
YES, WATCH STEINS;GATE!
Not Steins;Gate Zero though, that's a sequel.
The most common criticism is that the first handful of episodes are slow, but I hard disagree. Every moment is either re-contextualized later on, or is important character work.
Nice. My partner has a Proxmox setup, so we've adapted the Nix config to spin up new VMs of any machine with a single command.
NixOS :)
Maybe I should have clarified that liking bare-metal does not imply disliking abstraction
Containers != services.
I don't think I am better than anyone. I jumped into these comments because docker was pushed as superior, unprompted.
Installing and configuring does not an expert make, agreed; but that's not what I said.
I would say I'm pretty knowledgeable about the things I host though, seeing as I am a contributor and / or package maintainer for a number of them...
They are using a hosting provider - their dad.
"The cloud" is also just a bunch of machines in a basement. Lots of machines in lots of "basements", but still.
Ah, my bad then! I didn't see a repo linked in the post or on the site. That's great, then!
