I have been using Runbox for several years and I’m happy with them. I choose them because they are one of the few email providers that allow you to create aliases/identities.

They are not non-profit, but they say they take ethical (and other) responsibilities very seriously. They do use LLM, but again they say they use it only as a tool and it is used responsibly. They do take transparency seriously, so they have all this information written on their website.

O.o They allowed meetings without registration again? That’s nice!

Last time I checked (long time ago), they reguired an account for a meeting, however their platform didn’t support registrations… which made no sense.

From what I could gather:

RCS is not supported by the Android system - probably because Gurgle doesn’t want to (not sure about iOS). Also quite few carriers still do not support it. So if you manage to send a message, you have no guarantee that it would arrive in the same format you would expect.

The only advantage it has is that you don’t have to create an account anywhere and you can simply use a phone number to send it. However, that is also it’s biggest downside, because you would have to give your phone number to other people or services, which is not a good idea in this age.

It may have been a good idea around 2007, but it’s too late now.

Someone please enlighten me. I cannot figure out why does RCS even exist? It does not solve any problems… unless the problem was that Gurgle didn’t have everyone’s phone number yet.

Seriously, If I understand it correctly, RCS requires data (either mobile or wifi), so it cannot be used instead of SMS. But if you already have data, then you can use the communication app you use normally (Matrix, Signal, WhataCrapApp, …). There is no point in using RCS at all.

EDIT: I should have posted this as a reply to one of the comments here… too late.

It’s a great app. I just wish they would improve the list layout by adding edit and delete buttons. And especially making the edit window bigger and resizable. Right now it is so small that I don’t even see the game’s folder’s full name in the path input field, not to mention full absolute path.

It there any TV brand that we can still buy?

I’m not really sure how I will be able to setup TV or something that allows watching TV at this point.

That’s why I hate banking apps. It’s 5-factor authentication for me and it’s seriously annoying.

The factors for logging into the internet banking are:

1. Having a password manager - Something I have
2. Remembering a master password - Something I know
3. Having a banking app on the phone (🤮) - Something I have
4. Using a password to log in to a user that has the app installed (I have a GrapheneOS and the banking app requires Gurgle services, so the services and apps must be separated) - Something I know
5. Using a PIN inside the banking app to confirm the login - Something I know

You cannot call yourself an admin if this didn’t happen to you.

It’s not a bad idea but that idea breaks as soon as you have to change the master password. You would have to change every one of those passkeys. Which could be annoying, if you have a lot of them.

There is also an option to use an email provider that offers proper email aliases, like runbox. This way your real email address (login username) may never reach the internet.

I have written my CV in HTML, CSS, little bit of JavaScript and handlebars.js library (single JS file). I have all the texts inside JSON files (one file per language). I can switch between languages simply by changing a variable and refreshing the page.

When I need to update the CV, I just change the text and print the CV as a webpage into a PDF using an Ungoogled Chrome (Firefox has a bug that causes the page to print in a slightly wrong size).

It may be overkill for some, but for me it was easier to properly style the page using a CSS than using Writer/Word.

Every insteresting game I “bought” on Steam is backed up (including a crack if required).

It would be nice if they could do the update with a single reboot. It is annoying to type LUKS password multiple times.

Thanks. I did miss that one. I was looking for a “Add to this collection” button inside a selected collection.

However I’m not sure if this collection is visible only to a user that created it, or an admin has to create it and it is visible to everyone?

Thanks. It looks like Plex does have more user friendly features, but still no info about relations. That’s a bummer.

It is really important to know the watch order (even if I had to specify it manually). When I think about it, Jellyfin probably fails even for the simplest watch orders like The Lord of the Rings; not to mention Stargate (Movie 1 -> Show -> Movie 2+3).

Maybe I have missed it somewhere? The UI is pretty confusing.

I never had the chance to try Plex, but how does it compare to Jellyfin? What kind of features does Plex have and Jellyfin does not and vice versa?

Examples of basic features I’m missing in Jellyfin:

• Create a user-defined collection (like group of favourite movies)
• Adding user-defined tags
• Filtering by tags or any meaningful filtering
• Filtering by languages (however this could be done by using combination of 2 different plugins that add tags and create collections)
• [Important] No movie/show relations (e.g. The Lord of the Rings 1 -> 2 -> 3)
• No way to know if movie/show belongs to any collection

I’m really glad that me and my friends decided to build new PCs the second we saw the first rise in RAM prices. It would have been hard to survive this on our 7-10 years old builds.

On my Fedora system (KDE) I have unified all unused and pointless folders (Documents, Pictures, Public, Templates) into a single folder called Unspecified with a trash icon. You could probably do that as well.

And that’s why the only correct choice is a piracy. We just cannot afford to waste that kind of money on unfinished games. Especially while the economy is getting worse and worse.

Or one could play FOSS games. However, in such case I would still recommend supporting the developers as much as one can, if the game is enjoyable. Usually, those games are better than any AAA game that came out lately.
