I’ve been using Fastmail for years and all my accounts use unique email addresses like [email protected] through the catch-all option.

It takes a bit of time to set everything up the way you want at first, but Fastmail supports custom sieve scripts. With wildcards in sieve, you can automatically create and apply labels to these kinds of per-account addresses without naming them all in advance. You can add specific ones to get additional labels like Shopping or Travel too.

Fastmail’s catch-all implementation doesn’t force you to manually create the named alias in order to send either, i.e., on the rare occasion you need to reply from an account email address, the from address uses the address it was sent to. This feature only works on Fastmail’s apps or the website, not with 3rd party clients. I still use Apple Mail most of the time, but can easily switch to the app real quick when I have to reply from a catch-all address. Regular named aliases can be created and added to Apple Mail without issue though.

Pretty much every other option I looked into supported catch-all aliases too, but required you to manually setup the alias before you could send from it. That’s such a pain in the ass.

At the per kWh price a lot of these miners contract for, it’s profitable even with older hardware. These arrangements also help extend the lifespan of older hardware.

If you’re asking why a referral program would forbid the listing of referral links on coupon sites, I’d imagine it’s because most people visiting a coupon aggregator are already on the website checkout page ready to make a purchase. You’re not referring these customers and bringing someone new to the table.

Not all electricity is created equal. I don’t think Bitcoin miners should be allowed to fire up an old coal power plant just for the sake of mining Bitcoin, but in the case of renewables, like hydro, wind, solar, etc., there is going to be, at times, more electricity generated than we can use or store. All other use cases aside, the ability for Bitcoin miners to turn excess or otherwise wasted electricity into revenue is to the benefit of 99.9% of US citizens by way of lower power bills and/or property taxes.

That’s pretty cool if you ask me. Being able to approve and move forward with a big solar or wind farm project because you have a Bitcoin miner willing to partner with you for the excess electricity generated seems like a win-win to me. Again, we obviously don’t want Bitcoin miners using dirty electricity or straining the grid in peak times where higher priority use cases arise, but that’s a matter of governance and oversight.

It’s relevant now. We don’t have ways to store days or weeks worth of the excess energy many renewable sources produce. When you have somewhere for that energy to go when it can’t otherwise be used, and you’re getting paid for it, you can subsidize the cost of producing a more robust infrastructure that eliminates or greatly reduces the need for traditional power plants that cause environmental harm.

Bitcoin mining is globally distributed and doesn’t come to a halt when a particular facility or even a whole region has to shutdown because excess energy is not available.

What does obsolete mean to you? There’s nothing obsolete about a 2019 iPad Pro. It received the most recent iPadOS update and it’ll certainly receive an update to iPadOS 17. The hardware is as good or better than current entry level iPads. The battery should still be good, but maybe yours needs replaced.

How is POS an improvement?

I run Vaultwarden and still buy a license. I wish they’d offer an optional self-hosted license specifically for those who want to support the project while hosting their own server.

The effects and editing on that video are pretty awesome, that was a joy to watch.

Unless something has recently changed, Apple One gives you either 200GB or 2TB to share in a family group. It’s not per user. Each user can purchase an iCloud+ plan on top of the shared iCloud storage included in Apple One.

I imagine that's what a lot of hosts prefer.

If you're a professional Airbnb host, you probably have a deal worked out with a cleaning service or you do it yourself full-time. But if you're the day-job-having Airbnb host who just rents out a single room or nearby vacation home, you probably don't want to be managing multiple check-ins/outs and cleaning multiple times a week.

Using a 3rd party email host that isn't Google has the same effect with a lot less effort. I switched to FastMail for this reason, even if Google claims not to scan paid Gmail accounts for marketing purposes.

I just logged in via Bitwarden on Safari to reply here. My vault is self-hosted via the Vaultwarden project, which is a lighter-weight implementation written in Rust. It is hosted on the free tier of GCP, which is proving more than enough for personal use. The self-hosted server interoperates flawlessly with the official Bitwarden clients. I have no complaints regarding the user experience on MacOS/iOS/iPadOS. However, I was not a fan of the user experience on Android. I recently setup Bitwarden for a couple family members who use Android and it definitely didn't feel as frictionless as it does on my Apple devices. Not sure if that's because of how Android implements password managers or how the Bitwarden app for Android is implemented.

Most emails are still going through servers owned by Microsoft or Google, so what does self-hosting email accomplish in reality? Some government entity likely has warrant-less access to most of your emails regardless. I like email as a way to communicate, but speaking pragmatically, it’s just not a secure means of communication in 2022.

I don’t get it? Why would the answer be *******?
