When I switched to Firefox a while back, I also switched to using the Tree Style Tabs extension. It gives you vertical tabs which can be nested like a folder structure. I found it's way more convenient to know which tab was spawned from a parent tab, and keep similar tabs all in one little grouping. In my opinion, it's even better than Chrome's tab grouping. I lose a tiny amount of screen real estate along the left side of the browser, but it really didn't take long at all to get used to, and now I vastly prefer it.

I did the same thing with home assistant and just the stock clock app. Just looking at the "next alarm" sensor state.

Hah! I just recently got to switch off Comcast to a newer local fiber company. Comcast emailed and texted me for weeks telling me to return their equipment that I never had, but even their website showed I had nothing to return so I ignored it. Eventually the emails changed to "you've been charged", so I called to complain. They assured me that I wasn't actually charged, and then realized they owed me a prorated refund since I cancelled in the middle of a billing cycle. They absolutely weren't going to give that back unless I called.

I just set my domain email up with Zoho. Was easy enough and they have a free option. Although I pay $1.25/mo per user for two users, just to get a little extra storage space and be able to use SMTP and ActiveSync to send email from my servers for notifications and use a different mobile app than their default one.

Yeah I'm with you. Just say ACAB. No sense in obscuring it further than the acronym already does.

This will be down voted, but I also tried a bunch of launchers and never found one I liked better than Nova. I ended up installing TrackerControl and Nova has its internet connection fully disabled. It doesn't need Internet for any features I use, so I felt like this was a good compromise, personally. I ended up starting to block trackers in all my apps now because of it, so I see it as a net win.

Tracker Control on Android works well for system-wide tracker and ad blocking, and you can configure custom blocking rules per-app. Works without root by using a VPN profile (but no data leaves your device via the VPN, it just routes the traffic through this app).

Another place that's got good deals is https://nationalofficeinteriors.com . Learned about this place at an old job. They sell used stuff that's pretty much new but has like one little stain or scuff on it or something, so places making bulk purchases refuse it. Just doing a search for the Steelcase Leap (which I also highly recommend), they've got a bunch for like 50-70% off full price right now.

I think they don't take your phone, just scan it. I don't know how it works with this, but I have a trial for my state's digital ID app (the app works but isn't fully implemented as a complete replacement for physical IDs yet), and it has two modes I can put it in which generates a QR code on the screen with my data. One mode for police to scan at traffic stops which has my driver's license info, and one just called "age verification" which can be presented when buying alcohol which just verifies that I'm over 21. I like the privacy of the second mode, since there's no reason a liquor store needs to be able to see my home address.

Mine's "Abraham Linksys"

A great puzzle game with terminals often found in woods or other outdoors locations. Like so:

I thought the same, but it only took me like 2 days to get used to it.

You guys use more than just the +30 button? Weird.

It is now. Dream Theater, "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence" at 42:00 is a good one.

"Are you sure you don't want to lower your standards? You're still single..."

Haven't seen anyone mention it in here yet, but this is exactly why I use Aurora Store to search for and download apps instead of the Play Store. It still installs things so the Play Store can update it automatically if you want, but you don't have to deal with any ads.

If they're using a service to send the emails, like SendGrid or Mailchimp or something, that Unsubscribe survey is actually hosted by the email sending provider, and the more people that mark the email as spam or use the "I never signed up for this" option or similar, the worse it makes the user of the mail sending service look. If they used Sendgrid for example to send a mass email to 10k people, if more than 5% Unsubscribe or mark as spam or use the "I never signed up for this", the company might get their account locked down by Sendgrid until there's an investigation as to why they sent spam.

On the flip side of the argument, I have a pit mix and she's the sweetest thing in the world. Never has bitten anything other than a toy, and she doesn't even bark unless she gets the zoomies while playing. She's been great with my 2 year old nephew, too. Got her from the shelter when she was about a year and a half old. She's 50% pit, so I feel like if it was genetic she'd be way more aggressive.

Obligatory dog pic:

How hard is replication across servers with just debian and qemu? I'm honestly not super great on linux knowledge. I'm a Windows sysadmin by trade, with maybe 10-20% linux. I run a few Ubuntu server VMs at home and some RHEL at work. So I'm looking for something as easy to set up and well-documented and supported as possible. Proxmox just seemed like the "industry standard" for selfhosting, but I was also looking at Unraid (which is supposedly better at storage and less good at virtualization) or even ESXI, but I didn't want to get into the VMWare payment bubble if I needed anything more than a simple host.

Thanks, I wasn't sure about the data being taken care of first or last. First makes a lot more sense though. And prepping as many services into VMs ahead of time definitely sounds like it'll be the best way to reduce downtime, even if I then end up moving it into a different container again later on.
