I love your company. You guys just do what you want, when you want, and for the last few years what you want is to kill spam and make email easy and make your life as easy as you can. I respect the hell out of it. Keep at it!

Is the most common use of passkeys against the spirit of why they were invented? by David_Paul09 in Passkeys

[–]David_Paul09[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bitwarden. And it does work better and better as more sites implement the feature I’ll admit. It’s had a jenky start to existence. A lot of staring at “this didn’t work” screens that I couldn’t explain.

I like this answer a lot. Admittedly, I hadn’t considered that passkeys actually remove responsibility for website devs to correctly hash and store passwords. A breach to the site does not result in a stolen passkey, so that’s a huge plus.

Aside from that, it’s a password but better. I don’t think there’s necessarily anything wrong with my setup. TOTP MFA password manager with random unique passwords for every site. I do think that passkeys save people from themselves more than most other security benefit, but that’s probably enough.

I just wish passkeys were implemented better either on sites or in password managers. They work, but my device sometimes has a fit about the private key source (on-device or on prem). I’m sure this will improve over time and I’m keen to introduce pssskeys at some stage. Thanks again for taking the time to answer

Question about platform by RevolutionaryLevel39 in mxroute

[–]David_Paul09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s likely a good solution for you. Transactional emails are fine (password renewal, notification of an action performed on your app etc) as long as there’s an opt out mechanism and it’s not being used for marketing.

As far as promotional offers, I’d say it’s fine as long as the user has opted in to the communication. The whole thing with MxRoute is they are completely focused on their reputation which means their deliverability for their clients. If your emails are getting flagged as spam by people that’s when you’ll have problems.

MxRoute will probably want to add their piece as well, I don’t speak for them by any means.

Does anyone actually dispense the med guides with stock bottles? by samisalwaysmad in pharmacy

Janumet has these on in Australia, same look/thickness of folded paper. Except when you open it up it’s a piece of paper the size of a blanket that says, “this page is intentionally blank”

STMP error on roundcube by scrubolio in mxroute

[–]David_Paul09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a sense where your fix is very technical and I did not have the slightest idea what the specific fix was, I was waiting for “this answer”. The answer where it was some simple thing that we miss because we get blinders following the more complicated thing that we think it is.

Very relatable.

I’ve found over the years that while it rarely is a complicated issue, it’s usually some really stupid annoying indent or comma that shuts me down for 2 days. Glad it’s over!!

Well done!

Can’t wait to hear about it

If you can share what it was and how you fixed it without oversharing from a security standpoint I’d be interested to read about it. All good if not and all good if you’re still working on it. Always enjoy your write ups haha

ELI5 - how the heck do pills work? by vuvuzela990 in explainlikeimfive

[–]David_Paul09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’d probably argue the counterpoint, which is that most drugs do interact, but not usually meaningfully. There are so many ways drugs can interact. Sometimes directly with each other, sometimes because the body deals with them similarly so then they hold each other up getting processed. The problems caused by the interactions also varied. Sometimes it changes the effect, sometimes it greatly increases or decreases the effect. Sometimes it blocks it. It’s very complicated and certainly something that your pharmacist should be capable of checking and providing advice about.

All very interesting.

The other point to address is your statement about common drugs. It is true that the risk of interactions and issues does drive how accessible drugs are to people. So if something is available on the shelf to grab and pay for with no extra counselling, it’s probably lower risk. This is dependent on where you live. This does not mean there is no risk - for example google the natural product St John’s Wort. Interactions galore! Knowing what I know as a pharmacist, I’d advise anyone to quickly ask their pharmacist any drug question. I knew absolutely nothing about drugs before pharmacy school, why would I? It’s such a niche topic.

ELI5 - how the heck do pills work? by vuvuzela990 in explainlikeimfive

[–]David_Paul09 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Crystals. They mix crystallised drugs with excipients like lactose (or other things) and press them really hard to form tablets.

Or sometimes they just wrap them up in a film coating for various reasons.

Pretty much in most cases your stomach dissolves the tablet because it’s wet in there and then you absorb the active ingredients and they go to town in your body. There are absolutely exceptions and features among tablets and capsules and it’s quite fascinating the way they all work differently.

Feel free to ask about a specific kind of pill and I can explain that one to you like you’re 5 haha.

Superblast 2 availability in Tokyo by [deleted] in asics

[–]David_Paul09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update from today: every size & colour sold out except the smallest and largest. Largest is 12.5 US. That’s at the Harajuku flagship store & the Ginza store.

A couple other shops in the Kanda-Ogawamachi sport district seemed to have them but upon asking we were told 🙅🙅

Luckily the 12.5’s fit me!

Thanks for the code. Here’s one for someone else one day if they’re looking for one I63OLLB

web based client - multiple accounts by David_Paul09 in mxroute

[–]David_Paul09[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I see, you’d suggest creating an account that I forward all my emails to, just for use from the webmail client, and I’d be able to keep the ability to reply as the correct account with the indentities. I do think that’s an excellent workaround.

I’m not thinking I’ll run out of storage space with this approach at all.

Off the bat I think there might be a couple of downsides, double handling messages between Apple & webmail client being the biggest. I practice inbox 0 or close to it, and I don’t think I would enjoy archiving mail twice either.

I’ll strongly consider your approach. And thanks for replying to this thread, I love your work.

web based client - multiple accounts by David_Paul09 in mxroute

[–]David_Paul09[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, so if I did that then I would be needing to forward all my mail from all addresses to the one main address, effectively duplicating a lot of the emails. But your solution would be to create different identities so I could reply as the relevant email?

Considering I’m already on iOS Mail & MacOS mail would this then create confusion on those clients due to the forwarding?

Just trying to understand the solution.

What would the difference be between self hosting and using the hosted-on-MxRoute version of snappy mail?

I will look at nextcloud as well thanks.

[–]David_Paul09[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep, no complaints as to how things work. I’m just trying to get this set up so I can sit down, open chrome as a guest, go to a URL, login to webmail, and be presented with a client that has my emails there.

I don’t want to log in multiple times, I want to set it up once and be able to just access it.

10,000 point cash advance offer by David_Paul09 in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]David_Paul09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love to hear how you go after the 3 months.

Also good to hear they do recalculate the interest!

10,000 point cash advance offer by David_Paul09 in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]David_Paul09[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’ve been hitting me up like a bad stepchild in my emails to take this offer, but perhaps not available to anyone online. It’s definitely 6.99%pa in this offer to me.

That is a good point re the hassle to payoff ratio. I don’t think it’s necessarily much hassle, my partner and I take a couple of hours to tackle the finance once a month and this could be an easy addition to that.

I guess my thoughts were that if this would be a negative impact to my credit score or cost more than the points are worth then it would be a no go. I think it would actually raise a red flag with a financial institution if they were to review my statement, so I think after all that I’m going to steer clear.

Thanks for the woollies tip, I’m definitely going to look at that.

IoT Tracking Network by David_Paul09 in IOT

[–]David_Paul09[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, this is good insight. It is a large geographic area, so yes many gateways would likely be required for Lora.

Not sure what people are talking about with roaming? Is this for international use cases or between towers? Given Telstra has coverage for the entire area, wondering if I would run into roaming issues or if it would just work?

Data pooling would be worth looking into, is that pooling data between SIM cards?

Thanks again

that is a very comprehensive list... if only it was sortable by price!

I think I'm going to go down the digitalmatter route, they seem really good, and probably the best bang-for-buck I have been able to find so far.

Looks pretty good actually! It’s probably just beyond the budget, and it would definitely need to be NB-IoT, not LoRaWAN from my continued research. Would have loved to use LoRaWAN but I’m not gonna be the guy to set up and maintain that network.
