I’ve been working on writing my own forum in C# lately. Meant to look like some places I went on back in 2009-ish

I use proton vpn

I was perfectly happy with streaming services for a couple years when there were only like 2 good ones. I stopped torrenting for a long time and now I’m back to torrenting again

I had a bitwarden premium family plan

I recently moved my digital life away from google and microsoft. I previously had the following subscriptions:

• ExpressVPN
• Onedrive
• Bitwarden
• Office 365

And I had a gmail account, which I often used for SSO. I realized that, the total monthly cost of these subscriptions together was more expensive than a single Protonmail *family * subscription, so I cancelled them all, got the family subscription, and now my wife and her sister all have protonmail accounts as well as storage, a password manager, and VPN access. In the process of moving my logins to my protonmail account, so that I don’t have to keep my ancient Facebook account around for signing into things like spotify anymore. Coupled this with moving to the federated internet from reddit and instagram

I also dropped office for libreoffice. MS Office provides dubious value over the free competition, especially with a SAAS model.

Finland. Coffee, cigarette, and vodka. Called blöro

Neither is tiktok. It’s just media

I’ll take “dad’s who die alone in retirement homes” for 3000, Alex

I like planet money from NPR

Need to reorganize liberal politics from the ground up. Liberals need to justify their existence and the value of their policies at the city and state level and use that to build a national brand. Democrats in federal government seem to be totally unwilling to push their agenda in deference to political norms, but in my state they get quite a lot done when they’re in power

Quick call? 5min
