  • I both love and hate this. I love to see IRC getting some love and these features are massive QoL improvements. I say this as a regular IRC user. On the other hand though, no touch da fishy.

  • You could always try printing in ABS and do an acetone smooth to make it a nice surface There are also filaments that can be smoothed with IPA (isopropyl alcohol) that might work so long as the goal is just to make a mold.

  • I only share my services with two groups of people: my girlfriend and my technical friends. These services do include critical ones like password managers. I'm ok doing this because a.) the services i choose to use won't prevent access to the data even if my server goes down and b.) my girlfriend understands its a one man band and my technical friends also self host so there's an expectation of down time. I wouldn't be comfortable with sharing what I host with anyone else though.

  • David was a menace dnd practically the davil incarnate iirc

  • I think your assessment is pretty accurate as for me it wasn't difficult to learn or understand, but I have a technical background and did when I was learning it. I learned how it does thins and why. I think most people who encounter it just want it to work, and like a lot of tech it's just magic to them once it starts working

  • I'm unsure how Hetzner does it, but confirm that you factor the cost of backups in. VPS providers might have you pay a flat rate for backups on an instance ignorant of size, but you'll have to pay for backups of each instance

  • I was there in 2017. It was glorious. I refused to participate in 2022. It was a cheap imitation. I won't even give it an ounce of thought in 2023. It's a disappointment.

  • I use Mail-in-a-Box (planning to move to ISPMail though) and i rarely have deliverability issues. My main issue is actually that the grey filter takes too long for my preferences! With self hosting mail, i consider that a good issue to have

  • Ah, totally valid! I hope my suggestion didn't come off too much as criticism! Best of luck!

  • I hated the chat function. DMs make sense, that stupid chat never did. And as I didn't really browse Reddit from my desktop (it was always a mobile app for me) and I used Boost, I never consistently checked my chats.

  • I'd say Windows. Android can be more insecure but the Android ecosystem is so fragmented that it's difficult to write malware or exploits that are ubiquitous or even work outside a specific Android ecosystem.

    Windows is just kinda a hot mess and has tons of legacy stuff that can be compromised. The attack surface is larger on Windows imo.

  • Please get your adorable pupper a seatbelt!!! And make sure you get a good and properly tested one as most suck. Remember, any unsecured object (including bodies and organic matter) can become lethal projectiles in an accident.

  • Nah tankies specifically are those that support Maxist-Leninism to a fault. Thats why they sypport the tanks rolling over student protestors. They'll fight for single party state socialism that winds up not as a vanguard, but as corrupt state capitalism. Other leftists despise them because revolution doesn't necessarily mean becoming the USSR, nor should it.

  • AirVPN is a solid choice, and depending on where you're going they may have servers near you
