  • Are you also scared of databases and prefer storing things in raw txt files?

    Yes, actually. 😅 I can’t manage a database for more than a few weeks before I screw it up or want to easily edit something and stop using it.

    I don’t think databases are bad. I think I’m too much of a fuckup to manage one.






  • I also learned the hard way that you should probably pick a .com (preferred) or .net TLD. Other TLDs may be blocked by smaller companies, especially .xyz. I had my emails go into a blackhole when I tried to email my town’s garbage company from a .xyz email.

    You gotta pick something:

    • that sounds neutral or professional
    • that people can pronounce
    • that isn’t a homophone
    • that isn’t hard to spell

    And probably a domain that doesn’t include your real name.



  • I’ve been on migadu for like 2 years now. It’s been pretty solid and I really like all the control and features they give you. I also really like they’re using standard protocols, so no lock in.

    Although, they’re missing WebDAV, but I guess that’s out of scope for them. And they don’t have all the privacy features other players do, which I’m ok with.

    I have calendars and contacts hosted at northmail.ca, which again doesn’t have the most private/security features, but for me that’s ok. I like that northmail.ca is just a Nextcloud provider. I also tried nubo.coop, another Nextcloud provider, but they were slow for me in the US.














  • I know some now legal immigrants, who were granted amnesty in the 80s, who support or feel indifferent about the mass deportations…

    Sadly, something I’ve realized that is part of our United Statian culture is that we believe: “If I suffered, then others must suffer as well.” We are not a kind or compassionate country. We do not care about our neighbors.
