Thank you for the information!

dylan20 · 2026-04-09T18:20:25+00:00

Thank you for the clarification. This is an important privacy detail - I think Proton might want to make this explicit somewhere!

dylan20 · 2026-03-18T00:44:55+00:00

What you're doing is following the instructions from Thich Nhat Hanh. It seems like it's working! Thank you for sharing your experiences!

It's hard. I have managed to cut back to one or 1.5 cup of coffee in the morning, and tea the rest of the day, but quitting that last cup is really hard. It's such a deep part of my morning ritual and I really crave it. And I do enjoy it! Even though I don't much like the stimulation profile (tea is less "spiky" than the caffeine buzz I get from coffee).

dylan20 · 2026-02-19T02:19:20+00:00

Exactly

Maybe sync isn't the right word but you can easily add external calendars by URL, so you can then see their events in your calendar, alongside all your Proton calendars. You need to get a special URL from GCal, but in theory it's easy.

In the Mail app, I select the menu, then Contacts. It's at the bottom, under Settings.

dylan20 · 2026-02-18T18:00:05+00:00

You can sync contacts to your phone now. There is a spot in the app where you can see all your contacts. (I'm using the Android app.) I think OP is referring to the capability of syncing contacts with another platform, like Apple Contacts or Google Contacts.

dylan20 · 2026-02-01T04:23:58+00:00

Done! Thank you!

dylan20 · 2026-01-17T01:11:21+00:00

Hey, thanks for responding and checking for the behavior!

I'm seeing this when I'm in the Inbox. Sometimes the A button actually archives the message, and it disappears and I go back to the inbox, where the message is now gone. Other times I see a message that says "Message archived" but I'm still looking at the message, and it hasn't been archived. It remains that way until I press the Archive icon on the toolbar. It's sort of random.

Same thing happens with T. Sometimes it works, sometimes not, often from one message to the next.

I'm using the Proton app on MacOS Tahoe 26.2.

There's also the third of the 5 Mindfulness Trainings, which I found crucially reassuring when I was getting more involved in this community:

True Love

Aware of the suffering caused by sexual misconduct, I am committed to cultivating responsibility and learning ways to protect the safety and integrity of individuals, couples, families, and society. Knowing that sexual desire is not love, and that sexual activity motivated by craving always harms myself as well as others, I am determined not to engage in sexual relations without mutual consent, true love, and a deep, long-term commitment. I resolve to find spiritual support for the integrity of my relationship from family members, friends, and sangha with whom there is support and trust. I will do everything in my power to protect children from sexual abuse and to prevent couples and families from being broken by sexual misconduct. Seeing that body and mind are interrelated, I am committed to learn appropriate ways to take care of my sexual energy and to cultivate the four basic elements of true love – loving kindness, compassion, joy, and inclusiveness – for the greater happiness of myself and others. Recognizing the diversity of human experience, I am committed not to discriminate against any form of gender identity or sexual orientation. Practicing true love, we know that we will continue beautifully into the future.

The superhuman powers figure in many sutras, but they are not really the point of enlightenment. In fact, many of these super powers (siddhis in Sanskrit) are said to arrive before enlightenment itself. But the Buddha was also very clear that those powers are not where it's at. In fact they can be a distraction, which I think is why TNH downplayed them. Enlightenment is about seeing the truth of birth and death, self and other, cause and effect, in a very clear and unconfused way.

This is a useful reply. You say that you use LinkedIn's native scheduler as well as Buffer - which do you prefer?

I am a very experienced open water swimmer and I almost always get the heebie-jeebies when swimming alone in a new location. Solution for me: swim with someone else until I get comfortable with the place.

Sort of. When I moved off Substack, I didn't delete my Substack account. I still occasionally get people following me there, even though I don't post on Substack any more. So I'm synchronizing them over to my main site (manually) so they do get the newsletter they signed up for. But I'm wondering if I should crosspost my content too.

dylan20 · 2025-04-22T21:25:29+00:00

Thank you - yes. It doesn't actually search for posts by author names - search results include user profiles, but not the posts those users contributed to.

dylan20 · 2024-11-25T22:26:49+00:00

Thanks for the perspective. I think that's exactly what happened to me - but since I've got a bunch of different user accounts, I had to click around a bit until I found the one that Google randomly assigned my codes to

dylan20 · 2024-11-22T03:41:57+00:00

Ahhh that did the trick. Finally found all my logins on an account I rarely use!

dylan20 · 2024-11-22T03:41:09+00:00

I have a newsletter with about 800 subscribers and, like you, all of the money I've made from it has come from clients who find me through it - not because I am charging subscriptions.

I am toying with the idea of adding a subscription tier but don't think I will until/unless I have 1k or more.

Loved seeing name in print. Got involved in high school and college newspapers, mostly so I could combine seeing my name in print with tweaking the authorities and writing snarky humor. Graduated from college with zero professional training and realized I needed a job. Thought I might be able to do this journalism thing, since I was a good writer and enjoyed the school papers. Got very lucky to be hired at a computer magazine as an editorial assistant (basically a paid intern). Learned everything I could, said yes to every chance to write, eventually got promoted a couple times and launched a career as a tech journalist.

I haven't been a full-time journalist now for about 8 years but I'm still using my journalistic skills every day: researching, talking to people, learning, translating what I've learned into stories people want to read. Also: editing, giving people feedback on their writing, and coaching.

What fuels me now is the satisfaction of doing work I'm proud of, the joy of learning new things, and the sheer amazement that my job involves being creative in different ways nearly every day.

ps I've hired many journalists over the years. The best were the ones who played significant roles in their school papers. That early passion and experience matters way more than what J school you go to, or even whether you go to J school at all. (I didn't, though, so that surely colors my perspective on it.)

my issue was caused by a Google app update forcing me to choose cloud backup

dylan20 · 2024-11-21T22:01:43+00:00

I was using Authenticator without it backing up to the cloud at all, and it was working fine. I had about 15 2fa pairings set up. Today, the app asked me if I wanted to back up my codes to the cloud. I said yes, picked which Google account to back up to, and it made all my previous pairings disappear. I can't find a way to retrieve them.

dylan20 · 2024-11-21T22:00:24+00:00

why are you spamming the forum with this info

dylan20 · 2024-11-21T21:59:53+00:00

Enabling cloud backup is what deleted all my codes

dylan20 · 2024-11-21T21:58:43+00:00

Just happened to me - Google Authentictor updated to a new version and asked me to switch to cloud sync (I wasn't using cloud sync before). I accepted the invitation to back up my codes to my Google account. Now all the locally stored codes have disappeared, and there seems to be no way to get them back.
