Gotta have something to do when we’re unable to retire. 😉

Another DIY option to look at is Mycroft. They used to sell devices, but they’ve since stopped all development as of 2023. There’s likely still a community tinkering away, so I’d imagine you could still run your own if you wanted.

As will I, but those look like legit release notes and not a joke. Nothing jumps out as too good to be true or just bizarre.

Fr, though, duck typing in Python is one of my biggest annoyances.

On that note, indie gaming has never been better!

I use Bazzite on a laptop that’s shared by family, and it’s great. I never have to worry about downtime, and I know they’ll always have a computer should something happen to me.

I once had a bad update, and I just used rpm-ostree rollback, and I was up and running again. Really great for anyone that wants to set it and forget it.

That sucks. Been loving their remakes, but it’s also a very niche interest. Myst just doesn’t grab the headlines like the latest AAA slop.

I always liked KeeWeb as an alternative front end for KeePass.

True, but I would suppose that depends how intertwined your account is with your life. A couple of new accounts probably wouldn’t matter that much. I just more meant that they wouldn’t try to sue you, or something.

How far away/when did this version of the galaxy exist? I didn’t see anything in the article that mentioned it.

Good. Go throw Spaghetti-O’s at billionaires instead. Opening the can, optional.

Sounds like a market opportunity.

TBH, I doubt instance admins or Mastodon devs are surprised. It’s probably just a handful of people that think software changes should happen on their timetable.

The Fediverse has always had an “interoperability optional” design.

Bit of a clickbaity headline.

Pixelfed admins should update to v1.12.5 ASAP, but upgrading can be a major hurdle.

So it’s been patched, it’s just not necessarily simple to upgrade.

I’m able to reply just fine. They have a special address that goes to your inbox, and when you reply, it looks like you’re replying from that alias and not your main email address.

That was one of the first things I checked on, since replying is sometimes necessary.

You can also send by going into your Aliases and clicking “Send” by one of your aliases. This will open a dialogue that creates the recipient address you need to use in whatever email address is verified with Addy.

ETA: and to be abundantly clear, I’m using the free tier. This is all included in the free option.

Perhaps, but you’re just guessing. I don’t know their operating costs, and I would suspect that neither do you.

If you know better, please enlighten me.

Free for me. I haven’t paid them a cent. Depends what you need out of the service.

Ah, see, I was talking about two separate devices, not an all in one: a modem and a router. But if OP needs an ONT for fiber, and the router is within the same device, I agree that they should just use the one provided by their ISP and add their own router.

A very good distinction, and a better way of saying what I said. I might have to amend my rhetoric.

Perhaps, but if I connect from my IP and then 30sec later to a different account on the same IP, and that happens routinely for the same accounts, one could reasonably assume it was potentially one person using two accounts.

You could circumvent that with a VPN, since those IP ranges are usually known and known to be shared, but probably not with a residential IP address.

Anyway, it’s just a guess. I don’t know with any certainty how they might sus out somebody breaking the policy. I just believe that if they find people doing that with regularity, the free tier many people enjoy can be revoked, and so it would be a dick move to try to abuse account creation.
