Usually I quite like self check

Except at ALDI.

Before they put in self check the cashiers sped through transactions at lightning speed. Now they've cut the number of cashiers and people sit at SCO slowly scanning and bagging everything....

It's ALDI bruh scan that shit and go to the bagging counter.

I run Tumbleweed on my PCs and Leap on my server.

It feels so weird to update my server after a few weeks and have like no packages to update.

Yeah YouTube brings me a ton of value and I wouldn't mind paying a bit for it.

Not $14 a month though.

SearxNG. FOSS, selfhostable. Don't pay for a search engine.

It is. But as said, for personal email what's the huge risk? You find a new provider, transfer your DNS records, and upload your old emails.

Make some backups of your emails, you should be anyway.

But they have a specific FAQ for this: https://purelymail.com/docs/companyPolicy#bus

I've been using this docker container over a year, with no issues. https://hub.docker.com/r/oznu/cloudflare-ddns/

But there's also this script: https://github.com/joshuar/cf-ddns

Use Cloudflare or PorkBun.com for cheap, no bullshit domains. As for the email host, self hosting not recommended. It's a long battle to be not blocked by every other provider.

I recommend purelymail.com - no cost to add (even multiple!) custom domains, unlimited users, only pay for mail usage and storage. Go for advanced pricing until it starts costing you more than $10/yr. (Which it shouldn't if it's just you. Seriously this thing is cheap!) I just passed my one year anniversary with PurelyMail, and have spent $6 so far. This is my most expensive month, 85¢. And that's only because I host a public Lemmy instance (small) and we had a few hundred spam signups which sends an email each time.

This will give you a total yearly price WAY under what Google or Microsoft will give you. Google is like, $7.20/user/month.

And if for some reason that service goes down one day, as long as you still have a mail client with your email stored in it you should be able to just switch providers and import your emails from your client. Make some backups.

DuoLingo imo is kinda crappy anyway. Boring, repetitive, and terrible at teaching listening comprehension.

I can give it credit for getting people interested in language learning in an approachable way, but that's about it.

"Drop in" as in "You can drop this in your Home Screen where Google Photos used to be and notice very little functional difference."

It's undergoing massive development, it basically went from nothing to nearly full featured in two years.

The breaking change just means you need to actually do something before updating. The software isn't quite ready to be put on auto-update yet. Honestly the way the devs aren't afraid to break things I think has contributed to the fast development.

Just be sure to keep a secondary backup of your photos which you should do either way.

Yeah, I already run Vaultwarden. But like others I don't really want to combine my tokens and passwords.

It's really amazing, it's a drop in replacement for Google Photos and the like with good mobile apps, face/object recognition, etc.
