FWIW I use Migadu and think they're great. But I have few needs. I set mailboxes up, I IMAP to them, that works. They're great value. Job done.

Ah that’s cool. I don’t think it did that when I used them, and I use Mail.app anyway.

There’s a single reason that I gave up on this method: having to send outbound mail to these companies. You sign up for a health plan using healthplan@example.com. Great, until you need to send them a document. You send it from myrealaddres

I disagree with the modern blanket assumption that meetings are bad. Meetings do not have to be bad. Now most meetings are bad, I’ll give you that. But a well-run meeting, with purpose, which doesn’t faff on and respects the participants’

Agreed. Transcribe-to-SMS is the only way. In my work circle a protocol has naturally established itself. If you call me, I assume you want something. Otherwise you wouldn’t have bothered calling me. So you don’t need to leave a message: I

Well I work in an industry which still uses an archaic version of Excel. 2016 for Windows I guess? No XLOOKUP for me, yet. But yeah I’ll switch when it’s available. INDEX(MATCH()) is clearly a janky hack. But once you get used to it, it wor

My partner and I are in the process of recording an Excel course because I walked past her desk and saw her doing her accounts in Excel … with a Casio calculator. She was reading a value, doing it on the calculator, and typing it back in. S

Oh hard disagree, friend. I know “Excel is not a database”, but at work it often has to be. Using table notation to reach across to other tables is massively easier than trying to remember which column your data is in. You can INDEX(MATCH()

It might be all you know. I'm not a web dev by trade but I have a website for a hobby project. I had taught myself React thinking I might make an app. (I never did.) So now I want to maintain this thing on the side with not much effort

I'll come back to my example above. A minute's silence is a meaningful moment because we all shut the fuck up for a minute, stand still, and actually think about those lost at war . I think about my grandad. It makes me cry. If i

You have mis-read this entire thing, my friend. To use your analogy, if everyone took a minute silence but spent it browsing Facebook on their phone, would that be respectful? No, it would be pointless. Edit: to be very explicit, I think Au

by jen729w 4y ago
Actually I've moved away and don't hang out with the same people so it's unlikely I'd use it now. So it worked out okay.

Life lesson: time comes around faster than you think. Melbourne’s MCG has a members’ club. To get in you have to be sponsored by two existing members, fill in a form, and wait. The wait list is something like 15 years. [0] I had this form i

The entire point of these hidden files is that the user should never see them. Otherwise they’ll think, what’s this nonsense?, and delete them. It should be difficult to see hidden files. And it is!

Lariam is the one which makes you a ‘bit nutty’, yeah. I hadn’t heard the homesick one, is that right?! Mad. Never had it myself.

Shows we’re all different: I really like it. I write and think in Markdown and there was something about seeing it laid bare that I enjoyed. Wouldn’t want it on every site, but for something a bit different, call me a fan of this one.

I think they’re just selling out that hardware because they made a quantity of the cases and Tim insists on running them out. I’d be stunned if any new Touch Bars had been manufactured in the last 18 months.

I’m fascinated by the idea that, once a company reaches a certain size – let’s say 100 – then it is, by definition, average. Any claims to be above average may be summarily dismissed. This exhibits most clearly in large IT integrators. I kn
