purelymail.com is brilliant, have been using it for 4 years and am using it with thunderbird and k9.

furrowsofar OP ,

I was wondering about these guys. Seems too small to early stage. It says Beta. Feels like a one person operation though maybe I am wrong. Also web traffic is really low though maybe it is because they do not use trackers.

Happy to here any insights.

eikihj ,

It is a one person operation but it is very stable, I have not had any issues during the 4 years. I had some questions when I signed up and they were answered quickly (within few hours). The ‘Beta’ sign has been there always, in my opinion it doesn’t mean anything. The is a news page, news.purelymail.com and there are about 5 ‘items’ (mostly some disturbances) per year since 2020. There is a ‘free trial’ so you have nothing to lose :)

furrowsofar OP ,

Thanks.

Yes

I get many many emails from a website that specializes in gifts for spouses …

I unsubscribed from all… they doubled down. I unsubscribed again… and they Kept sending emails.

I flagged the entire domain as spam in Gmail and it all just goes to spam now.

Fuck all that noise

callouscomic , to retrogaming in USA Retailer?

I’ve had decent experiences with Lukie Games online over the years. They almost never have good sales though. So it’s not a cheap place, but you know exactly what you’re getting.

Otherwise I get picky on eBay with a lot of filters for things like location of item and watch items until sellers offer me a discount.

superweeniehutjrs , to android in Are you excited about the upcoming Pixel 9, or have you given up on Google hardware?

I have a pixel 8, and a pixel 6 before that. The same bugs have followed me the whole time. I guess PiP, keyboard, bubbles, and graphical issues just aren’t being worked on. I’m waiting on Apple sideloading updates before I’m upgrading, but this is a piece of shit. I would try another OS, but I am afraid of getting banking apps and Google Fi working.

Auzy , to linux in So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?

You already announced you use Arch… So you’re doing good

boonhet , to linux in So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?

Yup, that’s it.

Next, join us at !gentoo spend a day or 2 setting everything up and compiling every package from scratch, rice your setup, and realize that even that is barely different from Ubuntu to use once you’ve actually got everything set up.

Maybe Linux From Scratch feels a bit more special, but I never got to the finish line with that one, even as a teen I had better things to do with my time lol

Don’t.

lemmyvore ,

The graduation from Linux from Scratch is to be able to make your own mini-distro. I reckon anybody who gets that far is above petty feuds about the install process or packaging in this or that distro.

dion_starfire ,

This amuses me, since I literally went from Gentoo to Arch because it felt like the same bleeding edge distro without having to wait for the compile time for half of the packages.

That said, I generally don’t recommend Arch (or Gentoo) to newbies. It’s great when it works, but the number of times I’ve had to troubleshoot some random dependency issue because I took more than a week to update my system would scare any newbie away. It’s a bit like the parable of the cobbler’s kids having the worst shoes, or the mechanic always driving a project car - when you have the skills to fix something, you’re willing to put up with a lot of bullshit that a normal person wouldn’t.

pipes , to piracy in audiobook syncing

Those big files like .m4b (b stands for book) should have chapters within it, if you open them with mpv on your pc you should be able to see them on the time bar. On Android I’ve been using Voice, it’s really well polished and shows a big chapter name so I usually remember where I was if I switch devices, even if not to the exact minute.

I figured out how to encode to a single m4b in fre:ac so I only use Voice now (or my ipod, which was the reason why I learned how to use fre:ac).

I know you asked for syncing (one day I’ll try adding the audiobook plugin to my jellyfin), but this works for me.

If you prefer a folder of files, you can use fre:ac or many other encoders/tools to split them up.

BillDaCatt , to android in Are you excited about the upcoming Pixel 9, or have you given up on Google hardware?

I tend to get a new phone every other year. I bought a phone last year so I will probably be excited to see the Pixel 10 next year!

tiredofsametab , to android in Are you excited about the upcoming Pixel 9, or have you given up on Google hardware?

Neither? I am more wary after the launch of 6 and the issues, but I also say 'neither' because I'm simply not in the market for a new device.

What exactly is it that people obsess over? The ricing?

Please refrain from using racist terms. Here’s a good thread about it.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Of course! Thanks for being cool. It always sucks to learn a term you’ve been using has a shitty meaning you didn’t intend, and some people react to that realization quite poorly as we can see below lol

lemmyvore ,

Ricing comes from car customization. It’s only racist if you make it racist.

It’s like saying “bad driver”, it’s racist if you say “all Asians are bad drivers” or mysoginist if you say “all women are bad drivers” but “bad driver” by itself is none of that.

booty ,
@booty@hexbear.net avatar

It comes from racist car customization slang, yes.

@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Outside of the meme, the only people who make it their personality are generally younger and less experienced users who feel extremely empowered and proud by doing anything useful on the command line. Not like those users on Ubuntu (which they just switched from) who install stuff from a store like losers, nuh uh.

Before Arch you had the same type of people on Gentoo feeling superior because of use flags and watching hours of compiler output, after switching from Mandrake.

snrkl , to android in Are you excited about the upcoming Pixel 9, or have you given up on Google hardware?

They run GrapheneOS Wonderfully…

chevy9294 , to linux in So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?

I’m using Arch because you start with nothing and you can make any system you want. I have disk encryption, btrfs as a filesystem, secure boot with my own custom keys, I’m running self-build kernel, I’m using apparmor and I can use any program from AUR, etc. Thats my personality. Things that you can’t see but are important to me.

On other distros some of these things would be very hard to do. Especially without Arch Wiki.

thepreciousboar , to asklemmy in Is it wrong to report email as spam when you previously opted out and they either add a new subscription/newsletter, etc.?

Just a remainder that auto subscribing to a newsletter is illegal in an entire contibet now (thanks GDPR). So no, report as spam something that is literally spam is not bad
