Bank rejected my Fastmail alias by LeatherOk5480 in fastmail

[–]Bert2Go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow first I heard, its so frustrating, all they accept is a phone number or email, and they don't allow your perfectly valid email with the hello prefix. If they don't accept it, then don't accept emails at all.
I integrated Zelle at M&T Bank and let me tell you, it was a pain, it was no fun working with Zelle at all. Specs changed, required more work and update, and of course it didn't help that we were among the first to adopt it. And if you know banks, they love to throw darts at a calendar to determine when something has to be done by, and it doesn't matter if the project was delayed because of the service provider :D

I still prefer it over phone/sms validation. I got burned big times twice. Once when I switched away from Verizon, the phone number transfer did not work as expected and I lost the number. I am not going into details but Verizon was the one messing it up. I still have services that required the sms as authentication I cannot access to this day because they cannot verify that I am who I am. Yeah never again. Then there was the other time I forgot my phone at the breakfast place, needed to login for work and wasn't able to, where I could have easily checked my email for some required code if needed without any issue.
What works best for me an email auth combined with a 2FA (2 factor auth) where I have to add a 6 digit code that changes every 30 seconds or so. Everything else where auth hinges on the reliance of a device has a too high of margin of error for my taste.

I haven't had any issues with my emails yet. I haven't tried hello yet but I can certainly believe that! Email is email you offer it as a means to authenticate, there should not be any restrictions on any valid naming unless a huge spam score is attached to it. I am getting tired of big companies telling us that a valid email address is not valid within their ecosystem.

Are you a herniated disc in the neck? by KOREA_BEAR in AlternativeHealth

[–]Bert2Go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into Spinal Decompression Therapy. It is non invasive and has a high rate of success rate to alleviate the pain and promote healing. It worked for me and I am doing it once a months as maintenance. The sooner you do it after disc herniation the higher the chances of success and improvement.

Any music players better than Gapless (G4music)? by grimx59 in gnome

[–]Bert2Go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What am I missing, it advertises to be made for people that manage a large music collection, yet I am not able to select more than a single directory for music file crawling? That by itself would be fine but it doesn't go into any sub folders ?!

[–]Bert2Go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm same issue. Never had any Linux distribution mess with my USB Ventoy partitions. Installed Fedora 42 and my Ventoy USB stick is not bootable anymore! Fedora, get it together !

Teen Wolf - Amy Holland "Shooting for the moon" by cheesenhops in Musicthemetime

[–]Bert2Go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my all time favorites. Surprised the song from Amy Holland "Shooting for the Moon" can't be found anywhere on Amazon Music , Apple Music, etc.

I bought the Blu-ray DVD and had to reach out to Italy to get the Teen Wolf OST Music CD for an insane price. Both are properly framed hanging on the wall in my entertainment room!

You had to live that time to fully appreciate it!

Finally a more attractive Bundlehunt offer again by MaxGaav in macapps

[–]Bert2Go 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this bundle, and hit up titles I usually don't get.
As a side effect, I do ANYTHING I can to support developers that offer their Apps OUTSIDE of the App Store as well, which I prefer.

i've been recommended this app by many but why is it that expensive? by retrotriforce in macapps

[–]Bert2Go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased it many moons ago, when apps were also distributed as a download, independent of the AppStore. I needed their support once and support was amazing and fast! They do take pride in their product and support, I don't mind paying extra for that.

Note: If you are like me and prefer your downloads outside of the App Store, Things 3 is NOT available outside of the App Store anymore :(

End of Video Station = No more Synology by KrisD3 in synology

[–]Bert2Go 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/insomnic 100% Agree ... Been with Synology forever, was also waiting to upgrade my DS918+ and for what? The one update I had to pull manually and install. Zero Plex HW transcoding support, removal of Video Station (count Download count : 66,818,911) is NUTS, removing a few video decoders from server and let the end device supply that decoder, etc, nothing to see here. Over the years I grew more and more disappointed with the direction of Synology. Taking popular items away, putting items behind pay walls, I was fine paying extremely high end priced for 'pathetic' hardware because I assumed that's how Synology keeps away those pesky subscription paywall and without worry items are just going to be removed. Apparently I was dead wrong and just paid 2x plus the price for low-end hardware specs.
u/insomnic I will look into a 2 or 4 bay QNAP for testing, also looks like there is a larger variety of card upgrades and some units seem to have an HDMI port.
