nice metaphore to how people use the social media nowdays… they spill their mind into a public discussion forum and then they are pissed at the “reply guy problem” and try to come up with ways to stop people from talking instead of adjusting their expectations… i get it - everyone wants to be treated nicely but come on!

you are technically right… but, i mean… comments like this are the reason why this is not a place for any serious discussion. you just have to find any crack or disambiguity to attack and destroy anyone you disagree with, don’t you?

Do you think them having kids would change that perspective?

yes, i do. i don’t doubt there are some actual abusive parents out there but many more of the conflicts between kids and their parents is caused by the kids having their child perspective. and sadly, mentally developing to the point where the understand what their parents are going through typically takes longer than it takes for the relationship to be destroyed. therefore it is mostly up to the parents to keep it together but they are just people. and their kids talking shit with other kids about them surely does not help…

those people clearly don’t have kids of their own.

the mom is not “having beef” with you kid, she’s lost her life and her mind and cracked.

and the dad was on his third mental breakdown that day looking for anything to rationalize why he’s hyperventilating.

it was not the kids fault and any parent taking it out on their own kid is fucked, but they are not irrational monsters either.

i mean each of the individual programs that can load your keepass keyring is a password manager.

the keyring itself isn’t a password manager and the main reason why i use it is because each of the individual programs that i actually use to open it (keepassxc on windows, keepassdroid on my phone, keeweb hosted on my vps on other devices…) can use the same file with the same specification that is shared everywhere.

i’m not bound to any particular program with a particular set of features. just use anything that can open that file format from a place where i choose to host it.

keepass

it’s technically no password manager but an encrypted file format.

there are dozens of apps that will work on any platform, including soft keyboard with “password” button for smartphone that will just work everywhere and browser extensions, static website, apps that allow you to use your yubikey to unlock and anything else. you can host your vault anywhere including a google drive or your own webdav or ftp server and keep local copies on your devices synchronized…

this is a problem with fediverse in general imho.

the tools admins and users have are blunt (defederate or block). with all sorts of content moderation policies and opinions you will inevitably end up either alienated from everyone or surrounded by people that think and talk just like you.

fediverse does offer many advantages… creating a better online “town square” is just not going to be one of them.

i do not control mozilla leadership or their mishandling my data. the most influence i can exert as an individual is by not being a willing participant to their mischief. i’ll be happy to come back if the leadership changes and i get some guarantees.

I tried both hosting my own mail server and using a paid mail hosting with my own domain and I advise against the former.

The reason not to roll out your own mail server is that your email might go to spam at many many common mail services. Servers and domains that don’t usually send out big amount of email are considered suspicious by spam filters and the process of letting other mail servers know that they are there by sending out emails is called warming them up. It’s hard and it takes time… Also, why would you think you can do hosting better than a professional that is paid for that? Let someone else handle that.

With your own domain you are also not bound to one provider - you can change both domain registrar and your email hosting later without changing your email address.

Also, avoid using something too unusual. I went with firstname@lastname.email cause I thought it couldn’t be simpler than that. Bad idea… and I can’t count how many times people send mail to a wrong address because such tld is unfamiliar. I get told by web forms regularly that my email is not a valid address and even people that got my email written on a piece of paper have replaced the .email with .gmail.com cause “that couldn’t be right”…
