At this point if I have to choose between French government looking at my email and yellow man minions I go with French.

Email is not encrypted.

Tbh I’d try mastodon. Pixelfed is cool and all but there’s not much traffic there.

Mailo.com. French company. They have quite a quirky UI. like one can tell it’s made by a backend guy and the junior version is made by his younger nephew but technical wise it’s perfect. All standards are there plus price is OK.

You can also use some tools for easier discovery of interesting people. Like my mastodon search. I sometimes use it and got few mutuals this way.

Start with following some person who posts about things you care. Sometimes respond if you think you can contribute to the topic, be nice and soon you’ll get your circle.

Please make some firewall rules so it’s not available in Germany. Once the Germans will see this they will abandon all digitalization efforts and use this as a fax replacement everywhere over here.

Good read. Now I want to do it too.

I’ll add your blog to my small search engine I you don’t mind (kukei.eu)

Also, you don’t need that cookie prompt. If you only use technical cookies and no tracking, no consent needed.

So far it never happened but just in case I always leave one of my keys at some neighbors. I do it anyway because if something happens like broken pipe, it’s good when someone can just enter home without destroying our doors.

Holy fuck. What country was it? Some kind of small forgotten by world country where time stopped during apartheid?

Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid. On VHS, with Polish voiceover.

In Poland there are small bistros that follow a tradition of communist “milk bars”. Some of them even deliver in a subscription model. This totally makes sense financially if it’s for just one person. You can eat there for really nice prices.

Other than that, when it’s for a family of even 2, it never makes sense financially to get food delivered.

Ready to heat food is another topic. Those can also be very competitive in terms of costs and they can be really healthy as in EU it’s forbidden to do any preservatives in that kind of food (frozen or pasteurized).

If I recall correctly beehaw is the one that federates with nearly no one right? If that’s the one I also think that would be most appropriate. They have good moderation and are safe space by design so this would be least problematic.

What is this for a name? In Silesian “chachara” is a female from “chachar” which means someone with no job, heavy drinker and potentially thief.

Borg + hetzner backup storage (that supports Borg and rsync but I use Borg so my backups are encrypted)

They add referral codes to your sessions on Amazon and a like. This way all your purchases are feeding their ref accounts.

It’s not that bad practice if they’d do it as opt-in. I never consented to this and only figured out once when I looked at networking tab.

I use Edge on my Ubuntu setup. Tried all the browsers that integrate with KeepassXC and Edge won. It’s the only browser that has a nice UI with tabs on a sidebar, decent performance, nice devtools and is not doing shady shit like Vivaldi.

Looks like it is an actual LanguageTool server so it uses all the clients from them. They have tons of integrations that help a lot.

Source: using 3 languages every day while one of them I’m still shit and need this tool to not look like an idiot with no grammar

The Guardian for international news because they are cool with not doing a paywall anywhere. They encourage to pay only.

Die Zeit for German news.

Wyborcza to stay more or less updated with my old country.

For real time opinions I never ever go to X. Mastodon starts to be a good replacement and for something really hot that’s also hot in Europe, my mastodon search engine (https://masto.kukei.eu/) sometimes does the job, although it’s still immature and often searches nothing due to the nature of mastodon.

Check Borg documentation. Somewhere there there’s a way to pass the password as an environmental variable.
