I spend lots of time in south korea and VPNs are fine to use. I primarily use mine for getting around region blocks or for added privacy when on public networks.

What a garbage TIL post

Exactly the same here. I loathe kakao

Depends on the city. I was just in daejeon and it was really clean

This is true.

Just a heads up about people’s suggestions on signal. If you don’t open your desktop client often and it needs to be logged back in it will not sync your latest notes to self messages (perhaps other messages too).

I do exactly the same thing. Some more spam from time to time but usually thunderbird catches that for me.

Mxroute with thunderbird as a client and mail on iOS for mobile.

Unlimited domains and rock solid. Just don’t expect lots of hand holding the company focuses on making email work you have to sort out your own details. That being said they have good documentation.

A phone plan with a phone. You pay more over time and you get stuck with a contract.

Buy a phone and get a plan from a MVNO. Your monthly plan will be better and cheaper. Also since you own the phone when a better plan appears you can just switch.

If you want kids, don’t put it off for too long. I waited till my late 30s because I was never ready. Here’s the thing you will never feel completely ready. As long as your life is basically stable (job, housing, and no serious issues) you will be okay.

Kids are hard but super rewarding. If you have them young then you’ll get to see them as adults in your 40s. By the time my kids are adults I’ll be pushing 60 and hoping that I live long enough to meet a grandchild.

People have successfully (shades of grey here I know) been having kids for a long time. You’ll never feel “ready” but rest assured you’ll figure it out.

Also regarding university figure out your reasons for studying whatever it is you’re going to study before going into massive debt for it. Too many people my age went to university a bit aimlessly because going to university after high school is what was supposed to happen. Then they spend the next decade or two kicking themselves about their debt and how they were naive about what they studied.

I think you would be better off using something like org-roam. It’s all text so script can still be used and it can be searched fast with ripgrep. Also org mode has loads of features that a homegrown system will never be able to catch up with

I can vouch for this. My coworker has his password post it noted to his monitor now

Kids. The whole world is new and interesting to them and that is infectious.

Brewer

Org roam could work if you’re your cool with emacs. Create files on the fly that are named with the date/topic and it could be setup to allow timestamps since you mentioned that. Notes can be linked to each other or easily merge or split as it develops.

Also org roam comes coupled with a daily diary that attaches to emacs calendar system.

I don’t know of any tool like that but would be cool to see. Especially if it had a region aspect so I can see beers available in my local area.

Belgian beers are tricky. The categories are extremely vague and applied just so it can be classified somehow. For example Belgian pale ale covers such a wide range of flavors it is almost meaningless as a a guide other than the beer will have some Belgian characteristics.

If you have a local brewery you could saddle up to the bar and pick their minds. They may not make what you want but they could point you towards places that retail what you want.

You are correct. Matrix is the only one that has an option to use e2ee. Rocket chat has it it beta but that may take some time to roll out.

I’ve recently been testing Mattermost for a family communication platform. I also tried matrix/element and Rocket.Chat. I’m leaning towards Mattermost since the mobile apps (essential for my family) feels the most intuitive.

Element required knowing what features existed and then finding them which isn’t going to work for grandma.

Rocket.chat was good too just leaned towards Mattermost for some reason.

I really wish matrix had a well polished iOS app. The best I found was FluffyChat but even then it felt…not right.

Natural wine maybe has some active yeast left in it. Many non natural wines will use metabisulfates to stabilize the wine. I imagine this isn’t beneficial to cropping yeast from it.

Other sources of yeast? It’s literally everywhere. Have you attempted spontaneous fermentation like Belgian’s do in lambic beers?

Congrats!

TL;DR: this is a bug fix release with no new features.

I’m willing to try but I’d be stretching what I know to find that. Might be a good excuse to learn

Does Diaspora have a mobile app? I thought it was only progressive web.

I currently use Nextcloud and using photos on mobile is rough. Although I had forgotten about that comment feature on files.

You're awesome. I'll go dig deeper on this :) Thank you

Oh that is promising...do you know if that can be selected as default or does it always have to be applied per post?

I'm leaning towards Immich at the moment if I can't configure pixelfed to my liking. On the chat side of things that is sort of what we do now but I was wanting something a bit more asynchronous. With chat we can send photos, but what we were wanting is somewhere to just post stuff and other family can view it on their own time or go back and see a previous post. With chat it's a bit too ephemeral for the grandmas and grandpas...they keep asking us to send the same photos because they cant find it in the chat history :/

I thought about this route since I'm using Yunohost for testing at the moment and it has it's own authentication. But the authentication prevents mobile apps from being able to access the server. Mobile apps are a must for the older people in my family who are less tech able.

I tried this but the post are not private even when federation is disabled. The post are publicly visible if you find the URL.

Yes you can via a VPN and an “address” in that country. I wouldn’t recommend doing this with your primary google accounts though since you are working their system some they might retort in some way.

A fruited kettle sour is an easy drinker for me but my go to would be an Oude Geuze from 3 Fontinen or Cantillion
