Exactly, I was surprised that 989 was even a valid area code tbh, just doesn’t look right

Smart, I wouldn’t want anyone to know I lived in Michigan either

What about New Outlook (New) with New in the icon?

How else are you to know which version you’re using??

It also breaks your ability to do some actions with steam such as changing your email address because god forbid you enter the TOTP instead of pressing accept or something in the app

This is currently me, wanting to update my email but not wanting to go through the hassle of changing my authenticator back to my steam app then re exporting the key to put it back in Bitwarden.

So frustrating that they have to be ✨special✨ with their authenticator algorithm AND ALSO require the app for people who have reverse engineered it.

Damn I am unoriginal

What if you have a backup of your partner’s / child’s / family member’s passkey?

They said in the post that Ko-Fi is preferred due to the lower fees

Ooo fantastic, I’ll switch over to Ko-Fi!

Is there any preference for y’all on Opencollective vs Patreon? I would us Ko-Fi but not in a place right now to do $5/month, and that seems to be the minimum.

Can you explain what this does? I’m thinking something along the lines of reverting all commits except the very first one?

No I definitely get it… I’ve definitely been more than mildly infuriated when my FOSS replacement doesn’t work as well. All a journey, best of luck to you!

In addition to the other comment, if your school has a paid O365 or Google account it’s far less likely that they’re vacuuming up your data because you’re now an enterprise account that they actually care about keeping, unlike a personal account. Even more so if it’s an account for a child, which usually requires stricter privacy controls.

Honestly though, as much much as I despise Microsoft and Google, I would never recommend anything else to my parents / family because I know they just don’t care as much as I do, and they’re not willing to learn or change anything. It doesn’t sound like you’re quite that way, but perhaps still less comfortable with something that’s not 100% rock solid. It’s not necessarily a bad thing to go with some of these paid services if it means you’re going to be happier.

They’re free on desktop as well. Microsoft would so much rather you learn and love their tools that they’re happy to let you use them for free because it means you’re going to keep using them as an adult / professional / senior. My parents will never leave Excel / Word / Outlook because it’s what they know and love and they’re happy to pay for it in perpetuity.

Yep, my thoughts exactly… my company doesn’t want us to use OneDrive because of some security fears, so none of our work has autosave. Just because it’s 2024 doesn’t mean everything has autosave. Even working in a browser doesn’t always have autosave, I use some online programs daily that you have to remember to Ctrl + S.

Same here, quite literally this morning, it was fucking DNS

I believe the synology DSM should have a feature for this. Try the storage manager app and it should tell you SMART info.

Can you share the origin with the rest of us?

Yep, and if you’re using docker, gluetun can make it fairly easy to set up portforwarding, then you can call the API from the qbit container to update the port forwarded setting.

I don’t have a great answer for you, but hopefully I can provide some ideas that I hope can get your ideas flowing

1. Use a config file and use the built-in VPN configuration. Not very flexible, but you can be pretty confident it should work.
2. Use some containers (with docker or podman) to set up a qbit and a gluetun container.
3. Use the new version of the app for linux if you’re not already.

Whatever you do, I hope you look into the option in advanced settings in qbit to a specific network interface so it only works through the VPN. Unfortunately you definitely right that the Linux app is a second class citizen :/
