Flashbacks of r/askreddit 😔

I also use Windows. I get the attraction of Linux, I use it for my selfhosting, but I absolutely hate it for day-to-day operations or work. So, don’t feel too bad about it, people love shoving shit down others throats.

It’s the easiest when in bed to scratch an itch! Imagine you’re going downhill on a bike, and your back is itchy all the sudden, or you’re swimming in the olympics and you’re now itchy… people take this for granted!

I would prefer to say sane, but maybe you’ve had a taste already and it’s messing up your thoughts…

This ^. A very big downside of defederation. Just be more concious with what you post, and change up ur typing habits.

I’m not from or in America, but imagining a school where every person in that building (kid or adult) is holding a gun walking from point A to point B is very dystopian.

Yeah drive is a pretty good feature. Do be warned though, proton’s overall Linux support is bad, including the VPN and drive. $8 for unlimited (which comes with everything you mentioned) a month is a little steep, but if you’ll use the VPN and the email it’s definitely worth it. Enjoy man.

Which ones? I mentioned more than 2 lol

What made you adamant on getting proton? Curious, cause I could mention some cheaper, but very competent email services.

I have an account I bought from an Indian friend for around $20/y, and the only way I use it is for my TVs. They are “smart”, but not android-based, causing me to not be able to install smartube or the likes.

• Tutanota
• Protonmail
• Mailbox.org
• Posteo.de
• Runbox
• Fastmail

I would recommend either Mailbox or Posteo simply because they cost 1€/m. For email I find that anything more than like $2 is a waste of money, but that is my opinion.

Both Tutanota and Protonmail offer freemium versions of their services.

I was not saying that spending time with my dog was meaningless, just that I prioritized my work, indirectly issuing “less” meaning to the time I spent with him. Either way, the past is the past, I can only go up from here.

I would recommend Navidrome + a subsonic player, but it is alot more effort.

If you live thinking this you’re only focusing on stuff which, at your point in time, find meaningless. Finding meaning in things changes drastically over time, and your point of reference is based on what you believe at a certain moment. During your childhood you probably found playing with toys to be “meaningful”, but now during your adulthood (assuming you’re an adult lol) you look at playing with a firetruck to be meaningless.

See the difference?

The time wasted on meaningless tasks are usually memories and experiences which we hold very dearly to. I’m sure as you get older you will regret not doing a certain thing because you’re too worried about the future, and how different actions will cause different results if you waste a little time. I know for a fact that I already regret not doing the “meaningless” things I thought were a waste of time, like spending more time with my now deceased dog. I took for granted that he was alive, and never really spent nearly as much time as I wish I did, thinking that an hour of work was more important.

Contrary to what I’ve been saying though, the manner of living life like “you’re going to die young” is also pretty valuable. You don’t want to be on the extreme that you simply don’t care about the future, and try to attach meaning to every action you take - it’s destructive.

Really, there’s no “right” way to live life, you can only live, make mistakes, take insight from your mistakes and mistakes from others, and to create your own way of living. It does sound corny as hell, I wont even lie, but think about it and do what you want with the knowledge you have right now.

It’s somewhat of a common topic (life and living) between my wife and I, we share similar philosophies in life so it’s pretty normal for us to expand and better define what we believe. I would like to say we have found a good standing on where and what we believe to understand, but everything changes overtime, and I’m sure that I’ll understand something completely different.

Have you heard of that infinite happiness machine thing btw?

I don’t believe so haha. Sounds strangely dystopian though - mind explaining it?

At some point it would become exhausting. You’d be mentally drained all the time; I honestly do not think it’s the best to live life as if every day was the last, else you’d be missing out on life itself. Every single day that we are alive is a day that we experience life. Ups and downs are impossible to avoid, it’s apart of it, but it’s that experience which makes us happy to live - and thinking of every day being the last is allowing yourself to live in a parallel world, experiencing life as a mirage.

Ah okay that makes sense, hope the transfer goes well !

Voltage isn’t an issue iirc, just that it isn’t in our “culture” to use kettles. Of my extended family (20+) there’s only 2 who have kettles.

In Canada, but we’re basically the same as the states. Of my extended family, which is 20+ people, I only know 2 who have kettles… So it’s a luxury to most people who come to my house lol.

A water kettle. Doesn’t have to be any fancy one, but it really fucking rocks for anything you might think of : want hot water for tea? No problem. Need hot water to steep something? No problem.

Most mid-range ones are insanely power efficient too, often being alot better than just boiling water on a stovetop, or using a microwave. And, depending on insulation, heat can be stored for over 6! hours.
