I've been using CloudFlare for my DNS registration. They're incredibly cheap (I think they sell at or near wholesale rates).

For hosting, I tend to use Dreamhost. I think that it's about $100/yr, with unlimited email inboxes, unlimited bandwidth (no porn or video hosting, or other things like that in the TOS).

Personally, I use Fastmail for my email (and CloudFlare's email forwarding to forward to it), although Proton is pretty good to look at as well.

And I've got an ice maker and a bottle of Johnny Walker Black Label. Who needs the expense and time of a commute when their perk is right downstairs for me?

A lot of the mods for big providers like FB require counseling after the horrible crap they see (not just CSAM, but also terrible things like animal abuse and mutilation, etc). Unfortunately, the big companies have outsourced much of it to other countries where there aren't as many worker protections, traumatizing people and replacing them when they can't meet some arbitrary metric.

The ability to see up sieve filtering is great too. I've got a massive script that automatically sorts and files away most of my emails.

I want to like Proton Mail, but their sieve filtering kind of sucks, and with large mailboxes it slows down to an almost unusable amount.

Fastmail is awesome. If you want to set it up as receive only, you can set up CloudFlare email forwarding for free and have it forward to your regular account.

Definitely more. It's geared to note taking, with hashtags, wiki-like linking, and loads of other features. The main page is here.

I'm a big fan of Logseq. I use Syncthing to sync a folder between my desktop and phone and it works great. Tagging, everything is in markdown, and it's easy to navigate around.

Remember the I Am Rich app?

17+ years. It had been going downhill for a while, but the disdain for the volunteer mods and cutting BaconReader and the API changes was to much.

Great, instead of one overvalued company, Jeff Bezos will own majority stakes in multiple overvalued companies.

I'd rather see the gas engine as nothing but a glorified generator and have everything run off of electric rather than try to smash together two different drivetrains into some sort of franken-car like they are now.

A permanent ink marker making a big slash across the container for one of your eye's contacts ahead of time makes things easier to find. Just look for the big line across the container and you know that it's your left or right eye, and the other isn't. The important thing is to always do the same eye between orders, so you don't get used to the line always being the left and all of a sudden it changes to right from one order to another.
