(outside of GP's reply) Generically, life is messy and unpredictable, never put all your eggs in one basket. Your cloud server is sitting on a physical hyp which will need maintenance or go down, or even something in your VM goes wrong

I'm glad to hear the last section of Part 2 works the way it does. In reverse, if a person deactivates their profile, all comments you made on their posts completely disappear from your controls. If they reactivate, your comments are b

Hopefully constructive feedback: the namespace Thorium is already heavily saturated in the Google Play store; while you're the only one on F-droid, there's competition with what appears to be well established apps with high rating

This is indeed the crucial step, having had to do it several times as well. If you accidentally start the app before getting the backup file onto the device folder, going into the Apps setting and clearing all Signal app data is required to

Think more subtly - if you need to meet a metric/goal of 50% of your time on phone calls and 50% on tickets, a manager who wants to tank your metrics will game the system to feed you less than needed to make your metric on one or the o

I don't think it's necessarily a strange attitude, just more about what people might use email for versus what they might use instant messaging for - which target audience. My Signal experience mirrors yours, as I think folks rea

One thing that many don't talk about - what about Contacts, presuming we're using the Google Contacts integration? Email for me is kind of useless without being able to manage Contacts right alongside it, which Google integrates e

With the death of del.icio.us many moons ago, I imported to diigo.com and still use it. Many of the things i bookmark are technical learning related so tend to tag easily and self organize on those tags. I'm just using the free tier, n

Understood, perhaps my experience will help. I have had an account since 2014 according to their site, and I think I purchased my $25 lifetime in Jan or Feb 2014 (fuzzy memory - might have been cheaper back then? sale?) as I had more than 2

You get up to 200 books at LibraryThing for free, then it's either a $10/yr or $25/once for life. If you're using the service to that degree (>200 books) then you know the value of the service and should be willing to

You might even toss in running managed services externally in the second definition, for example DNS for your own domain - pretty much every service small to large offers a DNS hosting service with your account, typically at no charge. Othe
