No, I would not.

Microsoft pivoted to Skype. Saved you a click and reading about 1000 words.

I’m not even interested in the username of the person I’m responding to. I tend to ignore it completely unless there’s a comment like “lol, username checks out”.

There are very few times I will bother to check someones profile. They have to either say something so awesome that I want to see more, or have given a take so hot I want to see if they’re trolling or if this is standard behaviour for them.

While it looks like the whole Jerboa/“miscommunication” thing has been sorted out here I want to chime in to say that no, I don’t think that checking profiles for anything is a reasonable expectation.

I must have been way out of it late last night. I totally missed that you were asking why people do it and not looking for recommendations. Sorry for the spammy nonsense response to your OP.

To the latter question, I’ve seen devices that do OTP and FIDO in addition to basically storing arbitrary strings (e.g. your cc number).

I get harassment scolding me for using Lemmy to advertise when I mention any of the products by name, despite having no affiliation with any of them outside of being a user, but they’re not hard to find if you look.

I’m curious why your listed options are all software that runs on the internet as opposed to a piece of hardware that you connect to your devices.

Is that just because this is the self hosting community?

Why not a piece of hardware instead of self hosting, cloud hosting, etc?

I’m a fan of ripgrep and lsd in particular.

Check out the fzf docs. It ships with helpers that offer better shell integration than you’re getting here.

It’s unbearably foggy and dreary like that 24/7 365. Would not recommend a visit let alone moving to Seattle.

Again: It’s terrible all the time, please stay away.

In addition to many of the fine points made in other comments I think it’s silly to overlook the power of celebrity worship and weird-ass parasocial relationships with famous people.

There exists a large number of people who aren’t really interested in discussing <topic_x>, they just want to know what <favourite celebrity whos life I have deluded myself into thinking is attainable by me> thinks about the topic so that they can regurgitate it and feel like they’re “the same”.

I’m sure if Chappell Roan or whatever “the kids” think is cool these days had jumped to Mastodon we’d be seeing something very different. TBH I’m mildly surprised that we didn’t see more record labels standing up instances. It’s always boggled me that people have just trusted the service desperately trying to be known as “X” as an authority on identity.

Configuration management and build automation are definitely worth the time and effort of learning. It doesn’t have to be ansible, find which tool suits your needs.

Ah yes, the core definition of communism: a small farm offering a delusion of independence, which is run within a capitalist system.

The AJFA book is full of nothing but lies. Buy another blunt or something instead ;p

Same here. Reference, particularly sheet music and cooking recipes work fine for me digitally.

I can sit at the computer and read social/news media for hours with no problem, but the way ebooks are displayed tires my eyes very quickly for some reason.

While I don’t have this issue with the e-ink/e-paper stuff, I’ve never owned one. I also appreciate that physical books are often much harder to damage and will work without electricity.

I also have a small domain that is relatively low traffic. A lot of the “all in one” software on the list you linked looks pretty cool, I can’t deny.

What I found is that I make very few changes. I used to add mailbox aliases fairly often, but the fact is there are only two users and enabling the “+” syntax in addresses put a stop to me needing to make new aliases when I wanted a new address.

I just don’t feel like I need a management interface. Because of this I’ve just sort of frankensteined my own setup together and I love it. It operates how I expect it to, and enforces the standards I care about to the extent that I desire (e.g. which SPF result codes am I ok accepting?).

• Postfix as SMTP/Submission server. I chose to go w/PAM based for outbound SMTP auth.
• Courier for IMAPS
• Dovecot for LDA (sieve is delightful)
• Snappymail for webmail (served by apache httpd)

Bonus tip: Many distros make this info available on the cli by including a “hier” man page that you can read using the command “man hier”.

said the liar!
