Access to plugins and themes on WordPress servers.

Link it to your real identity, brilliant idea 👌

I'd book a flight through a travel agency if these still existed. Booking online is pure dread to me. I'm too young to have ever seen a travel agency but the concept of not having to deal with Ryanair and Wizzair is very luring.

Would

I just shipped n 8TB drive of children's shows to a friend. First, because many of the shows I wanted to recommend him aren't on streaming services and second, because he's moving to the mountains soon, where the internet may or may not be available.

Other than this instance, the last time was likely around 2007.

I'm not saying you're going to lose data or that it is a bad product. It's for a different use case.

I have a cluster of servers where storage box has been used for passing data between serves for batch processing. Not a lot of data but if it is not available, the while system is down. I learned the hard way. Plus they sometimes change IP addresses which is bad of you have a strict firewall.

But for backing up postgres and some other files, Storage Box is great value and it's not a problem at all if it's down for a few hours.

Presumably s3 will be highly available. Storage box is just a share on some server and has quite a lot of downtime. Okay for backups but not for your main data. We'll see if their s3 is indeed better, but it should be, given that price difference.

Is there a link for non-subscribers?

I got a cheapest Android smart TV and never connected it to the internet. On HDMI1 there is Amazon Firestick for the occasional Netflix use. On HDMI2 there is Kodi for every day watching. Because of how modern TVs work, both these extra boxes can be steered with the TV remote.

You're not forced to link your account with your real identity in fedi.

It is great as a private communication app for a close group. I'm running my own server because you have to trust your server operator with metadata, and because I found random public servers to be too short-lived for sustained usage by non-tech people.

Alright then, I guess it's time for attempt #3 with the newly acquired knowledge. Thanks!

Why?

Since when? I made two attempts over many years and an elaborate offlineimap and msmtp setup was needed both times.

Alpine is an email client.

Mutt is a maildir reader which you can use as a part of your DIY email client.

It may have to start being my thing, I moved to a place on ground floor with no sunrise or sunset view. I never thought about it when moving, so now I'll have to supplement my sunset intake

That is a great use of this tool that I have not thought about!
