I really appreciate your efforts with this. I avoided selfhosting for the longest time because "there wasn't anything I needed that bad" to learn it and sink the time.
These surveys opened my eyes not just into cool projects but also things I didn't realize were a pain that the FOSS community had already solved.
I use StartMail for email and I've been pleased so far. You can bring your own domain (though that might be restricted to annual subscriptions, like $60/yr), bring your own PGP key or have them generate one for you, and you get unlimited alias addresses.
I'm just waiting for the day to hear one of the founders eats babies or something, but they seem alright for now. It's from the same company as StartPage, which very early on was providing a proxy to Google search for increased privacy.
They aren't without concern based on their parent company. But they offer me enough features to mitigate that they seam leagues ahead of Google or Yahoo for mail.
It depends on your threat model. The actual crypto portion of it holds up, at least until we have crypto-relevant quantum computers.
If you want anonymization and PFS for basic messaging, yeah PGP + email isn't going to cut it. But if you're sending documents, for example, with financial or health data tied to my identity anyway, I'd take PGP with my own email provider over TLS to some tech company servers where it sits unencrypted any day.
Always made a brew that was too bitter for me. I understand why they went the Cuban route and add sweetened condensed milk.
For pour over I use a V60 style holder with a reusable fine mesh filter. Seems to work just fine.
That said, when I know I'll want more than one cup or I'm brewing for a group, French press is the way to go (for me). And as someone else pointed out, it can do cold brew when that's the vibe.
It very much seems to be a response to those regulations.
Recommend the book Safe for Democracy by John Prados. It's a damn doorstop and gets pretty dry at parts (think a full outline of the obtuse bureaucratic names various covert working groups gave themselves), but it's an exhaustive record of the CIA from their founding up to their adventures in Afghanistan.
It mostly focuses on armed conflict rather than the cloak and dagger spy games, but still shows the lengths the agency has gone to just because a world leader leaned a little too far left for their liking.
You a real one, much appreciated
Would you be willing to share that Quadlet? I also run rootless Podman on my main VPS and I'm approaching that point where I have enough services to justify a dedicated IDM solution.
+1 for Rotring (or rOtring if you prefer). I have both a pencil and ballpoint pen, the latter has been my daily driver for over half a decade now. Refills are readily available, it's all metal construction so I can throw it in my bag and not worry about it getting banged up, and it feels really nice in my hand.
They are more expensive than my other go-to, which is just a Pilot G2, but truly BIFL in my book. Also worth buying a 4 pack of G2s in my mind if you let people borrow pens a lot, I've had countless of mine walk away...
I'm getting tonal whiplash after their attempt to kick a guy off for wearing a shirt that criticized bombing children.
For those OOTL
Is there actually a source for this? It doesn't seem unbelievable in this day and age but there's a wide gap between supplying plutonium for tech startup power (as in electricity) fantasies, which they've openly talked about, and letting Palmer Lucky build nuclear-armed drones.
