Most people interested in the non-mini should buy a normal, non-subscription license: https://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/order.html

If you buy directly and not from the app store it isn't subscription: https://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/order.html

Fwiw, I switched from gmail two years ago and it was relatively painless. It took a couple hours and there were a handful of websites that didn’t allow changing emails (as usernames) but otherwise it was fine. And worth it to no longer get

I've updated my comment with what I use for hosting my site. But my intent was what you gleaned. Edit: Fastmail even offers website/hosting as a part of your email service. I'm just biased being a developer and cry at the tho

A few opinionated differences: - Mail -> Fastmail - Search -> Kagi - Photos -> Google Photos (sorry, but...it's fantastic) - Docs/Sheets/Slides -> Native/Non-Web Microsoft Office - Keep/Notes -> Logse

I heard a story that the inventor of python was once asked in an interview at Amazon to rate himself from 1-10 in python. The interviewer didn’t know who he was and it was just a standard question. He said 7. I don’t think you have to be a

You misunderstood my post - I was trying to make your point - there is always someone better. Just because you haven’t doesn’t mean others can’t.

No whiteboard, music video, or a published novel yet. But, come now, his point was he’d never worked with a full stack developer and that they don’t exist.

Fwiw, I’ve used all of those in my career, extensively here and there. I’ve written many thousands of lines of bash scripts. Even written my own php-for-bash-script style code tags that support arbitrary shells. I’ve written my own log base

Yes, probably for the last 3 years. I switched to Fastmail for everything but continue to monitor the old gmail account. It now only gets the spam emails. Reporting as spam or phishing has never blocked anything. I can’t recommend Fastmail

Kagi.com - paid for, ad free, searching. I don’t work for Kagi, just a very, very happy user.

I recently bought a Beelink U59 and set up Proxmox VE on it. I ended up running ~11 different VMs for my smart home set up, pi.hole, a local K8s cluster, etc. Now I have two Beelinks running in a two node cluster. I took notes on the entire

This makes sense based on my experiences with Alexa. Starting in the last two years it has increasingly, and aggressively, started “advertising” skills and products following a voice request. So much so that I began looking into alternative

You might consider going to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. It’s world renowned for diagnosis. My wife had various, random symptoms and all local doctors were either baffled or suggesting absurd things in desperation. In two days a doctor

I rarely had to do homework outside of school. Typically I’d just do it during the class.

Reminds me of Stephenson's "Fall; Or Dodge in Hell" where all digital media is signed by their anonymous author and public keys become synonymous with identities. An entire industry of media curation existed in the book to ha

That is definitionally situational: In my anecdotal situations things happened differently than in your anecdotal situations.

This sounds situational. I know someone personally that just landed a remote L5 position at Google. I have spoken with dev managers at Facebook who are hiring remote positions. I have spoken with dev managers at Amazon who are hiring remote

Anecdotally, I have absolutely ran off a bad diet. I burn ~150-250 calories a mile and have ran off 2000+ calories to eat what I wanted with no discernible increase in weight. Did this for years. In hindsight, it’s much easier on one’s knee

Sure - but these companies aren't doing that. They're sending emails without any means of preventing it, e.g. spam.

by berdon 5y ago
But...it is spam? If they don't give the tools necessary to stop the spam (unsubscribe or a link to "received this by mistake") then it's spam - intentional or not.

by berdon 5y ago
In 99% of the cases - there is no recourse. In one instance, I tried replying and they asked me to prove my identity as the customer to cancel the emails.

What about situations where your email somehow (mistype) gets set up for someone else's account? I have 2-3 people with similar emails to my previous email address that would mistype and I'd receive their emails. These weren'

I don't blame Firefox here though I do believe this was a change to perhaps the strictness or level of introspection. I've observed two websites with similar issues. Either way, I'm a-ok with these types of changes even at th

Sigh. Switching from "Strict" to "Standard" in the Firefox security settings "fixes" it. Or disabling Enhanced Protection for the individual website.
