Does proton mail allow me to use custom domain names?

I went in to that interested in the topic (I too loved Pokemon glitches) but bounced hard off of the author’s writing style.

That’s some awkward looking ergonomics.

Track pad, way at the bottom, buttons way at the top. You want to go from using the track pad to pressing a button you have some serious distance to travel and then on top of that, you have to hop over the thumb stick in the way. Plus no back buttons to map the face buttons to (if you wanted to avoid thumb travel all together).

Seeking: Kid-friendly Adventure/Exploration Games (PC)

My daughter (4) is very into exploring cities, homes and villages in Skyrim, feeding aliens in No Man’s Sky, and cleaning houses in House Flipper. She gets annoyed in games like House Flipper because she can’t leave the property to explore all of the visible houses on the block. I’d like to find other PC games that are...

There’s a few short indie adventure games that may fit the bill:

I haven’t played Stray, but it may be a good fit. I also haven’t played past the opening scene of Firewatch, but if your daughter can manage walking around Skyrim then I think it should be okay.

I searched for indie exploration games. City of Muse came up.

There’s a list of 3D exploration games on Itch.

At least running Pihole eliminates these ads, same for the Android outlook app.

The constant shitty changes that I have to combat are enough to make me explore other options, however. I don’t want to have to fight against the software I use.

I’ll give Thunderbird another go (used it years past and bounced off), and failing that maybe I’ll pick emClient back up (used to use it for managing multiple Google work accounts).

My difficulty is that I use a Microsoft hosted email, and integration with third party applications for contacts & calendar has always been an issue. Maybe it’s time to move those to my Nextcloud instance?

That’s an interesting thought. Thank you, I’ll toy around with that.

I appreciate the thoughtfulness. I’m not dead set on self hosting - I figured that the relatively simple functionality might already exist in some tools. The client side of the solution would involve no interaction which is why I considered the self hosting route. If the server goes down, as long is it continues to display the time/date/last know notes/messages without any intervention then it would meet our needs. A dashboard tool that runs some elements independently and queries a server for updates on occasion.

I did find MagicMirror, which looks like it could be set up with an SBC connected to a monitor. I haven’t yet had time to dig in to its workings to see if would meet the offline/online requirements.

I also found calendarclock.app which, while not self hosted, is purpose built for this scenario and would allow the recycling of existing hardware.

Similar to atzanteol’s reply, I appreciate the thoughtfulness you put in to this. Our use case is luckily not so severe as needing reminders for important tasks (medication, eating, etc)… yet. A dumb clock would almost meet our needs, save for the desire to leave notes about our interactions (remembering when we last talked/saw each other is the major stressor).

uninvitedguest OP ,
@uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca avatar

Thanks, I did look in to it and had the same thoughts you raised.

uninvitedguest OP ,
@uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca avatar

The desire to have it internet connected comes from my wanting to leave notes on the screen. Currently, the major cause of anxiety/stress for the family remember is not remembering when we had last interacted. Leaving a kind of “journal” of our most recent interaction by phone/in person/etc may be helpful for reducing that anxiety.

Legally? 🤔

I came to explore Lemmy with the migration after Reddit’s API changes. Baconreader was my app of choice, and it died with the change.

I didn’t have any anger against Reddit - there was no righteous “fuck you!” in my actions - but the reason I stayed on Lemmy and very rarely touch Reddit is because the concept of the fediverse really speaks to me. I want to see a more decentralized internet succeed and so that is where I will spend my time, niche as it is.

From 2020 I planned on building a new gaming PC. Bought an ITX case and followed hardware releases closely… And then got disillusioned with it all.

Picked up a Steam Deck in August of 2022 and couldn’t be happier with it. The ITX case is collecting dust.

Polycentric is an Open-source distributed social network - Similar in some ways to Nostr (beehaw.org)

I’ve not done an in-depth look at this network but reading through their documentation shows it has a lot of similarity to the basics of the Nostr protocol and network. There is just not as much information available on the Polycentric site as there is already for Nostr. Nostr is also censorship resistant, with distributed...

I believe polycentric is built in as an optional comment system in Grayjay. Beyond that, I don’t know what purpose it serves. (Don’t know what Nostr is so that comparison didn’t help me)

I used a Kindle, but get the lion’s share of my ebooks from Anna’s archive. Books are often delivered to my Kindle through the email to Kindle service.

I have no illusions that every single book I read is fed through Amazon’s data machine. The Kindle estimates the time to completion of a book based on your reading speed - everything that it could possibly interpolated from your reading… Will be. And you can bet it will be sold, or at the very least advertised to you on Amazon.
