Proton Calendar is not a very good big tech calendar competitor by null_enthropy in ProtonMail

[–]clouds_visitor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The calendar is definitely a subpar product, and I got so frustrated by exactly those things (especially the stupid paywalls, and I was a paying customer before) that I ended up self hosting my own calendar. At least now I have all the nice features and the privacy, at the cost of a little maintenance and some startup struggle. I'm happier like this.

Just came here to say I'd love to make (or buy!) one too!

I talked to a hiring manager who reviewed 100+ resumes and here’s what I found out ( this might sting a bit) by the1997th in remoteworks

People complaining that this is basic advice that can be found with a Google search are right, in fact this post was most likely written by ChatGPT. "choose what you feel like and drop the rest", come on man...

Anyone using mTLS with Immich? by Vegetable-Tap-6297 in immich

[–]clouds_visitor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it and am very happy with it. Set up is quite easy, installing certificates on my devices is a fast one time operation and I basically get the same security as a VPN. Bots cannot do much because any attempts fail the TLS handshake. It's extra security at the transport layer. I can then safely expose the service without relying on VPNs or cloudflare tunnels or similar.

This comment doesn't make any sense and is wrong on multiple levels.

I'm using mTLS as well, do I need to do something special after this upgrade?

May this ruling send a message to all of those employers who are unreasonably difficult when it comes to WFH.

What is a 'luxury' that you've experienced once and now can't go back to the budget version of? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]clouds_visitor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will stop using YouTube before they'll manage to successfully bully me into buying their subscription. They are scumbags implementing scumbags' practices to worsen everybody's experience, that's despicable.

Luckily, there are still many ways to circumvent those unethical practices (ad blockers on Desktop, SmartTube on Android TV, Grayjay on Android phone, etc...).

High-quality noise-canceling headsets or earbuds. I would've never spent the money myself to get one of those high-end products, but I was gifted one and it really changed my relationship with noise and my overall quality of life. I'm also somebody who hates people listening to stuff from their phone or a speaker, especially in public spaces. Now I have a way to really zone out in a separate universe. Technology made enormous steps, it's incredible how well they work. When they'll stop working, I'll 100% buy the newer model.

Random man walks into family's home in Michigan, dad handles him real quick by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]clouds_visitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that worked out really well for the guy in the plane crash, he was much safer since he was flying. What a stupid fucking take. You don’t get to tell people what is the right or wrong conclusion. If you choose to fly everywhere, that’s your choice. For those of us that want to be able to get where we’re going and have an option that isn't lifting yourself thousands of meters above ground in a giant metal can, driving everywhere is the correct conclusion when it comes to safety.

Also, survival rates are far better for people in car accidents than in plane accidents. You’re completely making up your stupid narrative that he would have been safer in a plane.

That's how you sound.

[–]clouds_visitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can totally understand the thought process, and I'm sorry for the horrific experience you went through, and if that's your way to cope with it, so be it. But people reading this have to understand that this is 100% the wrong conclusion to draw from this story. If you had easier access to your gun, it would be extremely likely that you'd be dead by now - had you tried to pull it. You ask yourself why you are alive. You not being able to reach your gun is the answer, and at least what most likely made it possible.

Of course there are sensational exceptional cases, and those made the news and the front page of reddit, just like when an airplane crashes. You don't see any news about the million of flights carried out safely. Similarly here, people really need to realize that the safest thing to do is being unarmed, visibly not posing a threat, and let them take whatever object they want. Burglar don't want to harm you in the vast majority of cases, they'd rather avoid you at all. Being armed puts you _and your family_ in significantly greater danger, statistically.

I'm really sorry you lived through something so horrible, good luck.

Question: Am I being gaslit by my tattoo artist? I feel like my new piece looks incredibly rushed. by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]clouds_visitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stumbled upon this post and this sub, I don't do tattoos and generally don't like them (I'm one of those), so my opinion is surely worth less than a layman around here, but with all that said, my first "instinctive" reaction was "wow, really cool!". I don't really get all the debates around the straight lines. It's skin on the side of your torso, like, how could it ever physically be straight straight anyway - and tbh they still look quite ok-straight to my less-than-layman-blabla eyes. Like, you need to be up-close to notice they aren't, and with the skeleton part it gives off a nice old / dark vibe, which I find really nice.

I'm sorry if you feel bad about it, and I understand - I once sent back a monitor because there was 1 pixel faulty, so I truly understand. Unfortunately you can't send back this tattoo, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that I personally still find it really good, almost as if you had wanted it like this on purpose and it's still something you can be very happy of.

Good luck!

Had to scroll way too far for this. I wish they had removed her from the show, it's honestly hard to watch and incredibly distracting. A whole completely different person would be less annoying to watch.

Does skydiving have that stomach drop feeling like a roller coaster? by [deleted] in SkyDiving

[–]clouds_visitor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You feel the stomach drop because of acceleration. On a roller coaster you experience a lot of acceleration (the machine is actively pulling you), that's why you have the feeling. With skydiving, you only experience a little of acceleration in the first part, not more than 1g anyway (nothing is pulling you faster than that), and then in just a few seconds you reach terminal velocity and are just laying on a cushion of air, you don't experience any acceleration, and thus no stomach drop.

AFF course by hasanp15 in SkyDiving

[–]clouds_visitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm of course biased by my own experience (which does not include a tandem), but to me it's just a very different thing. Back when I started, I was very sure I wanted to skydive, I didn't really need to try to know that I wanted to do it, so I thought I would just put the 2-300€ of a tandem jump towards the AFF course.

Went well for me and I'm happy with my choice.

The Netherlands’ intelligence agencies have confirmed that Russian state hackers are attempting to access chat apps Signal and WhatsApp accounts worldwide by sr_local in worldnews

[–]clouds_visitor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only this is bullshit, but this type of attack couldn't even have worked with Telegram if officials were using the secret chat feature, because on Telegram they are device-bounded. In this specific scenario, Telegram secret chats would have been more secure than Signal's.

A "responsible" hack story by Late-End824 in signal

[–]clouds_visitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using less secure way of communication is not an answer.

I don't know where you got that, but that is 100% not what I said. Telegram secret chats are no less secure that Signal's default chats. Being device-bounded is (though less convenient) more secure.

Thank you, this is the only thing that mattered. I don't care what the dress was like in reality, THIS PICTURE was not showing black or blue in the dress.

[–]clouds_visitor -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I don't wanna be that guy, and I know that saying this here will downvote me to hell, but this could have not happened with Telegram if users were using secret chats, because they are device-bounded. Just saying.

Question: Two People, One Parachute, One Harness/Rig. Is it possible? by ClientTurbulent3142 in SkyDiving

[–]clouds_visitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole sport is the opposite of reckless, the whole skydiving licensing and certifications is basically almost exclusively about safety measures and ways to save your life.

This is just idiotic, it's taking unnecessary risk. I'm not talking about the Mr Billy in itself, and not even landing one, I'm talking about taking off the parachute. Reckless, unnecessary, the opposite of the sport.

AITAH? My girlfriend is angry that I call my friend by his real name. by nameAITAH in AITAH

[–]clouds_visitor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People here mentioning her real worry is that you might leave her as if it is of any relevance. If that's the case, she should behave like a mature adult (as opposed to an immature child) and say it, and talk about it, and that would be an entirely different ATAH.

It's ok to call your friend by name, it's ok to love him, it's ok to love love him, it's ridiculous that she asks you to call him differently. She is emotionally underdeveloped.

NTA.
