    Protonmail with custom domain instead of Gmail

    Jellyfin instead of Spotify, but I still use Spotify... :(

    Pixelfed instead of Instagram, but its still lacking content and useable mobile apps.

    Haven't escaped YouTube yet, but meaning to browse Peertube more.

    I've been a Linux-only gamer for years too, thanks to Proton, Vulcan, Lutris, etc. Still waiting for good VR though.

    FOSS or GTFO!

  • "No thanks, I research my own charities before making a donation"
  • Sure, but they also get to advertise that they donated X thousands of dollars to charity, while the truth is that the actual donors get no tax benefits at all. And like OP said, I'd rather use https://charitynavigator.org/ to do my own research before giving money to a corporation to donate to some organization that may be mishandling their funds.

  • Does anyone run their desktop environment containerized?
  • At work the only option I had was to get a Macbook, but I don't like MacOS, so I installed UTM and I run Arch Linux (ALARM for aarch64) as my desktop. It's functional, but of course I'd rather have a beat up, 5 year old Dell or Thinkpad so I could just run Arch natively.

  • Git Battle: YOLO Mode vs. Clean History
  • YOLO! I like my commit history to tell a story of hope, defeat, pain, ennui, and triumph. A story filled with cursing and humor. The code is WHAT was done. Comments in the code are WHY something was done. Commit logs are for entertainment purposes, and for batching changes together in bite sized chunks to make PR reviews easier.

    That's how I do it anyway...

  • VM suggestion for gaming?
  • I've been a Linux gamer for a few years now. I don't have Windows at all. Between Steam's "Steam Play" and Lutris, you can play most games without issue. To find out if the games you want to play will work on Linux, check https://www.protondb.com/ and https://aclist.github.io/. Good luck!

  • Does mountain dew taste better than black tea? Yes. Does it also cost 30 times as much to get the caffeine fix? Yes.
  • I love the giant, inexpensive tins of ceylon tea at my local international market. If you can afford it, buy a bottle of rose water to add to the tea. Perfection. And of course, don't throw away the leaves - steep them again - the second steeping is even better than the first one.

  • Whats a stupid ritual in your life that makes you happy?
  • Watching memes and weird videos with my kids and wife every evening before bed: Daily Dose of Internet, People are Awesome, Failarmy, pwnisher, 131216, You Suck at Cooking, Kotte Animation, etc.

  • Backlit keycaps for Keychron K8 Pro or Q3

    I'm considering getting a Keychron K8 Pro or Q3 keyboard, but the keycaps don't have backlit letters. Annoyed. Anyone got other recommendations for a bluetooth TKL mechanical keyboard with backlit keys?

    After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel. The oligopoly has won.
  • Do you have a recommendation on the least horrible big email company to use for a personal domain? I'm using Proton, but I'm mildly annoyed that they don't provide native IMAP - you have to install their Proton Mail Bridge app.
