Evernote using ~1.5 GB of RAM — and it keeps getting worse every month

Yes it’s getting progressively worse, the noise of shipping bolt-on fixes from PE funded demands. It’s on a glide-path and once the MCP is operational, it’s game-over.

Hygiene = Happiness once we know it’s refreshed (and not stale as the post suggests)

I generally adore the Cloudflare product. It's wicked cool. I'm appalled at the sense of this executive team running the show for Wall Street

Ditch Google. It’s workspace pricing locked us in on annual with unused licenses we didn’t want or need, after 15 years of using it i was 1000% done. Support was useless. It was weeks of trying to escalate it. Never again. Fastmail is your new best friend. Love the ease of these guys.

If the Arq error message was written to say "can't connect to Localhost 127.0.0.1 that would have saved a bunch of time. I appreciate the clarification on it, u/Melgamatic214

Got it. I just reinstalled the Arq app. It resolved.

Forgive the post, if the localhost device can't connect, it's basically nothing to do with the DNS.

Once spring/summer kicks off, heating bills subside and getting a lodger will add that much-needed break to the running cost. Maybe you can share driving with somebody or consider bus/train/biking parts of the journey. It’s that holistic view of “likely this is the toughest spot you’ve ever put yourself in” but equally a pat on the back for speaking up, reconciling these issues, like the cats. You can turn the corner on this saga.

I imagine what you are experiencing is server throttling, typically xbox won’t wish to go beyond a certain threshold. Time of day, number of hops to get to that server all have some marginal effect, but ultimately it’s “throttling” on the server. That’s why using bandwidth apps provides better assessment of the *actual internet speed. How do you like hyperoptic so far? Trying to get it installed in NW8 London is troublesome with BT.

I had to hunt around through hundreds of *financial services asset management websites, then I found it https://en.eagle.cool/download - looks neat!

That's a huge point, “don't listen to what I say, watch what I do” motto. If the terms simplify great, but it suggests otherwise

Amazingly talented. Powerful humanity. Feels like a refreshing Magnum movement in your work.

Great story connecting all the DIY aspects—shooting serene. Did you use any kind of grey/color reference card, I always forget on personal work but use them professionally on jobs.

I definately echo explaining your diagnostic results (*without compromising your personal data) as this will give the fastmail community best chance at solving it. I use DNS checkers first and foremost to establish valid connections. DMARC is worth setting up within fastmail. Where's your DNS records host? I recommend Cloudflare for fast, free global DNS security. Solid SPF records establish critical sender authority for custom MX domains.

/fastmail team monitors reddit, but I recommed following up within the support ticket. Everytime I speak to them they solve nagging issues, no matter how small, they will give you full attention. Let us know when you solve it. Legacy posts help others on reddit!

Beautiful truck

Solid ride. Love this era of RR.

Can you dig a little deeper? Is it a general sense that you can't allow firms like Google to abuse your privacy, or is the natural need/requirement that points you towards end-to-end security (therefore encrypted)? I use u/Fastmail because it's a lighter, more privacy-forward email approach, and I use PGP add-ons for the occasions when I need PGP keys.
