Have you ever caught a marketing or spam email sent using one of your email aliases?
  • Same, I think. Several years now with over 220 aliases and none sold/stolen that I've caught. That said, some may have ended up in the spam folder without me ever noticing.

    How bad is Microsoft?
  • Maybe I'm going crazy but I feel like I've been seeing this post or an identical one for many days, maybe even a week, yet the age is still one day.

    Still, fuck MS and all.

    What's a job you couldn't get paid enough to do?
  • What's going on at the standalone ERs? Genuinely curious.

    I have a few near me, but would never consider going to one if it's going to cost me the same as a regular ER that's most likely better equipped and staffed.

    Another Boeing emergency: Delta Airlines 737 plane makes emergency landing after one of the engines caught fire moments after taking off in Aruba
  • Another knee jerk reaction article. Although not common, these things also happen in commercial airplanes not made by Boeing. There's a multitude of possible reasons for this event other than Boeing manufacturing practices. Still, fuck Boeing, but this is click bait.

    Haneda runway ‘stop’ lights out of service in deadly collision
  • But ministry officials said the lights would not have been turned on even if they had been in service because there was sufficient visibility that day.

    Right, because there's already runway holding position markings that you do not cross without clearance - every pilot from private on up knows about these. The mentioned lights are for low visibility situations which this was not.

    What was the piece of media so emotionally overwhelming you just stopped it?
  • I also quit in the last season - not sure what episode but it was towards then end. Enough time has past that I have no interest in finishing it. I don't get so involved in series since then.

    What's a good daily task app that doesn't require an account/Internet connection
  • Yeah if I can’t find anything else I might try that, just trying to very slowly get away from Google little by little lol, thanks for the tip though!

    I see in your other response that you want to get away from Google. Check out the degoogle and selfhosted communities. I selfhost Vikunja to sync with tasks.org so I can access my tasks on my phone and computer. There's other selfhost options too.

    Tell us your definitive "I really should not do this" moment.
  • I did it twice. I knew for certain the second time around, yet I still did it . Didn't get me a third time, though. No regrets now, a long time later, but those extra years were hard.

    Sync to Nextcloud....without Nextcloud
  • I've been on this same journey for a long time - a search for something easy like Google Keep but private and preferably self-hostable. The problem I see with a lot of the options out there is they want to be a full-blown note taking / second brain app and focus on markdown as the input method. That's way too cumbersome for when I just want to jot down something quickly and make a quick to-do/shopping list.

    The next development/feature milestone listed in the Quillpad roadmap is "General cloud syncing", but nothing has changed on that front for a long time - seems like at least a year. I'll happily give them money if they'd focus on fulfilling their roadmap.

    I also don't want to spin up a Nextcloud server just to sync Quillpad. I have no desire to use any other feature of Nextcloud - I've tried it in the past and it wasn't for me. But I finally gave in this past weekend set it up using the linuxserver.io docker image. I removed all the plug-ins it would let me to try and get it bare-bones as possible. Not an ideal solution but it works for now.
