I’ve used mailfence’s paid entry tier for several years now. Been happy with them.

They are on the “other excellent options” list, but wanted to give them a highlight.

Thanks for the tip!

Edit: I typed out two sets of the same numbers, one in a row, intonating one after the other, and the others in a column in an attempt to impart the idea of all at once.

My Lemmy client put both on single lines, which is confusing. So I removed the original comment.

You guess right! Thanks for providing the correct syntax.

I agree with this sentiment.

My guess is I’d fit u/but_my_mom_says_im_cool’s definition of a “Lemmy Linux bro”. I’m that person that responds to any post about bad behavior from Microsoft with some variation of “use Linux”.

But I won’t shame any individual for using Windows. That’s their choice.

I’m the Linux/open source/digital privacy person in my friend group. And I’m vocal enough about it that people know this, but I don’t shove it down anyone’s throat. But I will answer questions and offer suggestions when asked. And I’ve had some small successes in bringing people around in this way.

I feel like I was aware of this (much time has passed), but I think it’s something we discovered by trying it out of curiosity.

I built an office shed in my back yard. Almost all the grass is gone where I walk between the back door and the shed. I do this fairly frequently, but I’d think still quite a bit less than an even lightly trafficked hiking path.

I’ll put some stepping stones out there eventually.

Gross. I didn’t know that. I do occasionally use AirBnB. I’m aware of their impact on the rental market, so I favor hotels most of the time. But there have been a few occasions in recent years where I was traveling in a larger group and an AirBnB made more sense. But no more of that.

I looked in to this a little, and Joe Gebbia is no longer the CEO, but he is still on the board. Still a good enough reason to boycott.

Risk is also a factor re: self hosting.

• You’re exposing potential attack vectors, which is particularly concerning if self hosting = home hosting.
• Also with home hosting, it’s probably against your ISP’s TOS. It is for mine (I actually read it!). Will they do anything? Probably not. But it’s a risk.
• You could face legal issues if someone posts illegal content, since you’re hosting it. Even unwittingly.

Those concerns are what stop me. Because I otherwise think I’d enjoy hosting a little corner in the fediverse.

I’ll try this! I used to use caldav via my mail provider with DAVx5, but I had problems with it not retaining notification settings with recurring events.

I don’t know if that’s a problem with their caldav server, DAVx5, or my phone’s calendar. But worth trying with radicale and see if it works.

For those like myself who hadn’t heard of GoToSocial and are curious what it is but don’t want to watch a video, it is as you might guess an ActivityPub based microblogging platform. With a focus on smaller instances capable of running on low end hardware. According to their site, anyway. https://gotosocial.org/

It’s a novel idea. But despite the article’s claims this is not a practical alternative to a laptop in planes, coffee shops, etc. Nor is a minipc inherently more serviceable than a laptop as others have pointed out.

For traveling, if it’s a longer trip, it almost makes sense to me as you’d have it set up for a while. Though I’d do a mini ITX system. The ones with external power supplies and no drive bays or expansion slots are pretty small. But even then, I don’t feel like this would be significantly better than a laptop. And that’s a lot to buy for a niche use case.

Edit: spelling and grammar

By first gen I meant not a switch 2. I’m not too particular about which version or revision.

Yeah, the price point would have to be low enough to be worth it for the few console specific titles that’d interest me.

A search of the comments didn’t turn up any mention of seedboxes. So I’ll throw that hat in the ring as an option.

I won’t. And not even due to the bad PR.

I never bought a Switch. Thought about it, but never got around to it. I guess I’m just not the target audience.

Though now in thinking about it, I bet I can pick up a good condition used Switch on the cheap once this comes out. Maybe I’ll get the first gen Switch after all!

Clickbait title is unhelpful but did it’s job in making me curious. Guessing it’s this for those that don’t want to watch a video.

Maybe self host your own VPN on a VPS and connect the jellyfin server as a client as well as any other devices you want to see that jellyfin server as other clients and configure the VPN server to not override your default routing and to allow clients to see each other? In my head I don’t think that would conflict with your protonVPN connection.

Your traffic would be encrypted between devices so I wouldn’t say https is nessesary and thus no certs needed.

The rubs that occur to me are that I’m not sure you can do this on a free tier VPS which is the only option I see given your financial limitations. And your devices all need to be able to connect to said VPN.

Edit: Slightly less worse English.
