My grandma uses WhatsApp. The only reason I’ve ever used SMS is to receive a verification code

I live in the Netherlands too, but I’m certain this was an online service from the US. It’s definitely a minority of them but it happens nonetheless

Apple is willfully hampering the ability to intercommunicate between iPhones and Androids

In what way exactly? All the messaging apps I use work fine. I even have the same Signal account logged in through both my Android phone and my iPad.

Nobody I know actually uses iMessage either. It’s a complete non-issue as SMS is quite an outdated technology.

Yep just delete the account while you’re at it. If it’s for work just don’t use it on a personal device

Caddy Reverse Proxy with Basic Auth for services which are critical like my 3d printer. Without auth for other services like my website or jellyfin and such. I use docker for everything so that’s another layer of safety for me.

I have port 443 open and use subdomains for most stuff. Some other ports for non-HTTP services but I don’t have any right now.

that service will keep working until the next billing day

You wish. I have had one too many services that cancel immediately upon request, even if you paid for the month 3 days ago.

At that point just use ‘man grep’.

Yeah that’s what I have too. One of my servers is exposed with key auth and I just tunnel to other servers from there. A few MB egress is nothing compared with the amount of spam my webserver needs to deal with

Samsung’s quick settings is okay, I should’ve clarified. I just think the rest of their UI sucks ass

I have used it in the past for a few years. I don’t think you should. Why?

• The Manjaro devs are idiots. They have broken the AUR on multiple occasions.
• Their packages break more often than upstream Arch since you get update bundles which they release. This isn’t tested as well as it should and may lead to things breaking.
• Arch is also easier to install nowadays, if you really want a rolling release distro.

If you just want something not-Ubuntu and easy to use, I tend to favor Fedora personally.

I think Samsung has done an awful job on their UI. I can’t place why, I just hate it.

I think OnePlus has done really well, keeping close to stock Android but improving on it too.

I use Cloudflare email routes. I make one address for each service and all of them forward to a managed email address. It’s great that I can just turn them off when I don’t wish to receive mail anymore.

It literally is. All premium options are a choice.

Ad removal lifetime is $20, Ultra (which brings extra features) is subscription based and a little more expensive.

Nahhh KDE is the one looking pants. In Gnome everything is very consistent and in KDE very much not so. Even something as simple as the toolbar looks ass.

Gnome is very intuitive too, I like the window overview and it just doesn’t get in my way.

I was an i3wm user before going to Gnome. All the defaults just work, which saves me time

I like the concept but they’re too expensive for me. About €2k for a fold and €1k for a flip is outside my (self-imposed) budget. I don’t particularly wish to spend more than about €600.

Once they become more mainstream and affordable, I’ll most definitely be checking one out.

Haha yes me too. I thought “hmm guess he hasn’t quite implemented that yet” but of course I have DNS AdBlock. Nice to know that works (:
