I don't understand the usecase for tuta and proton. Their "automatic encryption" only works for people also with those providers if I am not mistaken, otherwise it just uses the same method as PGP (password that you have to send the recipient).

It seems to me that for 99.9% of emails going through the account, it is not any more secure that other providers like mailbox, posteo, nubo, etc...

Maybe I am understanding them incorrectly though.

Apple mail

It uses standards instead of a proprietary app like proton/tuta so you can simply add it to almost any mail client.

I mean, it isn't as thick as normal toothpaste, and the taste is different (like every brand switch of toothpaste to be honest), but they got a new formula for much much harder tablets in the beginning of 2025 more like real mints, so they don't get powdery or fall apart like they sometimes used to.

It doesn't sit on your teeth as much after you spit before you rinse, I find, but sometimes you get tiny grits in the molars from chewing them if you don't brush them out well enough.

I find it completely fine, just took a few uses to get used to.

That being said, there are also thousands of logos that go through proper design companjes and they pay a lot of money out and get literally just the name in a standard sans serif font or abstracted until it is unrecognizable as a name like KIA or TVA.

And the list goes on, Verizon, gap, tropicana, jcpenny, etc...

I mean, AI is trash, but it can also be extremely difficult to know if you will get a decent logo after paying thousands or tens/hundreds of euros spent (looking at you Belgium cities using millions of taxpayer euros for bad rebrands).

Also mealie supports SSO with OIDC so authelia/authentik can cover it and there is no need for separate accounts.

Also being a PWA on mobile instead of another electron app means that authentication in front of it doesn't break anything.

I kind of agree. I use accubattery on my phone since I got it so I know more or less how much I have used to charge it.

1526593mAh over almost 4 years. If we assume 3.9V charge voltage (about average between CV/CC and I only charge it to 80%), then it is a bit under 6kWh consumed, which is under 2€ with our high electricity prices here.

It uses literally a rounding error of power over its entire lifespan.

However, having a standard way to test battery life and battery cycle longevity in phones would be very helpful, but I am 99% sure it would be an unrepresentative test that manufacturers would start gaming within a year or two to have very skewed results.

Happy tabs! (happy-tabs.com, not happy tabs.com) Toothpaste tablets with fluoride, because they aren't anti-vaxxers like many toothpaste tablets

They are as expensive as the more expensive toothpaste because you can't stretch them out by just using less since you need 1 tablet, but they have 0 plastic packaging, the tablets are amazing for camping, they have 2 sizes of glass containers and the refills are just in paper and cardboard, they have actual reasonable subscription delivery periods and amounts, and they have versions with charcoal of that's your thing.

(You can find the standard jars, but not refills at Dille and Kamille in Belgium/NL)

https://bookshop.org/ (formerly https://www.indiebound.org/ebooks I think) donates a percentage to a local bookstore (of your choosing iirc, haven't bought or even torrented a book in a while).

They don't have everything, but a lot.

Kobo for other things.

Very funny, I stille have an old TPlink running now for 6 or 7 years, my parents had an old linksys that only did 2.4GHz running for 13 years or something. Before i replaced it for them.

I honestly don't know how a router breaks. It can become outdated or obsolete such that it can't interface correctly anymore or it can have a hardware failure that kills it by surges or physical damage, or it can be completely unsecure because it hasn't been updated in a decade but routing is "fairly simple" and just getting data throughput isn't rocket science software-wise.

I think with respect to the bodies, you should read up about Noble, Georgia, USA.

Dead bodies are ABSOLUTELY dealt with in very stupid ways because they are a pain to deal with, heavy, and people doing their jobs aren't thinking "what will this look like when it is found or on sattelite imagery". They throw a few bodies on a pile to deal with later, then a few more because they are too busy or the crematorium is broken, or their digger is broken, and then it gets out of hand and it becomes way too big of a job for the people who's job it is.

They are not in the middle of a city having to worry about people stumbling on it.

Ugh I hate excel. It can't do the most basic things like search and replace things reliably in all cases. I have moved literally all data analysis besides the absolute basic "count" and "sum" operations to python in spyder. 200x faster, repeatable, won't freeze up with large datssetd, and has never once failed a basic operation like a search and replace. Not to mention the localization issues and the fact that it will fuck things up completely if you install a new printer because Microsoft decided the printer has priority of your document and spreadsheet layouts over choosing a default.

I had some evaluation board software that whenever the value dipped below -1, would place the comma completely randomly in the floating point number.

Excel almost had a heart attack when I asked it to search and replace ”-1” with "-1," and it found all of the cases just fine, but decides to ignore the replace and not place a comma at all. If I tried to convert them to a number, it freaked out and placed the decimal place also randomly, different than the input. And of course trying to do in-place operations on a column for export is just painful.

Hell, in notepad++ I could just regex the digit range that was preceded by a ”-1” and get everything replaced using a few brackets.

Not to mention how terrible the graphs work in comparison and how bad they look with the default options 😅. But hey, you can automatically put in a drop shadow or frame it in a useless way.

There are some people who can work very efficiently and do some crazy things in excel (like the excel doom) but unless you have literally been using it daily for many years and actively looking for ways to speed up, then it is just as easy or easier to do things in an actual data processing program like matlab, octave, python, or R (And I am not a coder) and you can literally copy paste a file name for the next full dataset.

Yes,

Then you have 4 main plus these 5-6 extra. Just put your boot drive on a data drive instead of m.2 or get an adaptor and you are good to go. 8 data drives plus a boot drive
