  • I also learned the hard way that you should probably pick a .com (preferred) or .net TLD. Other TLDs may be blocked by smaller companies, especially .xyz. I had my emails go into a blackhole when I tried to email my town’s garbage company from a .xyz email.

    You gotta pick something:

    • that sounds neutral or professional
    • that people can pronounce
    • that isn’t a homophone
    • that isn’t hard to spell

    And probably a domain that doesn’t include your real name.



  • I’ve been on migadu for like 2 years now. It’s been pretty solid and I really like all the control and features they give you. I also really like they’re using standard protocols, so no lock in.

    Although, they’re missing WebDAV, but I guess that’s out of scope for them. And they don’t have all the privacy features other players do, which I’m ok with.

    I have calendars and contacts hosted at northmail.ca, which again doesn’t have the most private/security features, but for me that’s ok. I like that northmail.ca is just a Nextcloud provider. I also tried nubo.coop, another Nextcloud provider, but they were slow for me in the US.












  • Wow! It’s so nice that the company got back to him! /s

    But, seriously, I’m not doing take home projects anymore. I recently interviewed at a company that rhymes with Lagi. They asked me to build an app for them for 2 weeks. I did. I sent them the project and then they just fucking ghosted me. I sent them 3 follow up emails and nothing. Not even a rejection.

    Should be popular distro so if i have a problem i can ask about it

    I mean, Arch has the Arch Wiki which is very good. (I use Arch, btw.) 😸

    I’m surprised Mint is giving you trouble. Where you doing something… risky? Or maybe the hardware you’re running isn’t very compatible?

    Otherwise, a distro like VanillaOS (or any immutable distro) might be able to keep your system more stable.
