Same experience

Oh , that’s cute this spammer thinks there must be an admin@mydomain.com etc

Only other downside I could think if is when my catch all cant be used to send a mail or reply.

So I do use them a lot for suppliers en services, but for registering initially and password reset. But I can’t use it to contact support by mail.

Mostly I rely on forms or self service portals when I need it as a customer.

For example, because its autocorrect in a multi-language setting is pretty bad (autocorrecting wrong language even if its manually switched).

Was wondering…

If I would invest $10 a month … How many computing power I could get … For an Adnauseam-As-A-Service server … And how many ad-budget that would vaporize?

Would it make $100, $1000 or more ad budget worthless?

Just curious what the numbers would be?

One of the few times I miss Files-on-demand for Win11. Connect an Office365 library with 500 GB to my laptop with an 128 GB harddrive. Integrates with file explorer, only caches local what you open, after a while you can “free space”, meaning deleting local cache version. NextCloud has the same on Win11 because its an OS feature.

Did you over engineer? Yes! Also: this is very cool!!

Cwtch

https://cwtch.im/

Decentralized and Open

Participants in Cwtch can host their own safe spaces, or lend their infrastructure to others seeking a safe space. There is no “Cwtch service” or “Cwtch network”. The Cwtch protocol is open, and anyone is free to build bots, services and user interfaces and integrate and interact with Cwtch. Privacy Preserving

All communication in Cwtch is end-to-end encrypted and takes place over Tor v3 onion services. Metadata Resistant

Cwtch has been designed such that no information is exchanged or available to anyone without their explicit consent, including on-the-wire messages and protocol metadata.

To illustrate even more: I follow a Lemmy privacy “group” with an Akkoma account.

Also the reason I pay the €3 monthly fee covering 2 laptops, 3 tablets and 2 phones. Worth it imho.

It consistently drops 20 - 25% of DNS requests.

You were right:

Thanks everybody, I learned a ton these 2 days. Like a ’ jump’ in understanding. Not only the specific answer to my concrete question but also on a conceptual level as well.

The thing that makes Linux next level for me now is the extra ‘abstraction layer’.

Thing is, for me, digital files always were as tangible as the analog object they represent. A digital document is as ‘real’ as a paper document. An email as real as a letter. But untill now files where ‘real’ digital artefacts. And thats … a bit different with ‘virtual’ files, sort of.

Anyway, new concepts to explore which is great!

Yep, I learned they have ‘portals’ for file-managing on their own.

Thanks, gives me direction in which way to do research.

When I let fsearch index from root, it counted 1.9 million files, which baffled me a lot. Before knowing the things in this thread. A typical windows install can have 50k ~ 100k files, but … 2 million I thought it was insane.

But in this context its something like if LibreOffice Calc had an API and upon start it registers a filesystem with a ‘folder’ for every worksheet and a ‘file’ named A1, A2, B1 … for every cell. Not real I know but a novice way of understanding.

Sound advice, thnx

Thanks, definitly positif first time experience with posting also.

I learned a lot in these comments but in this specific context:

• a flatpak app uses a base directory (mp3 player).
• I set it to my NextCloud folder.
• Now run/usr/1000 is “filled” with all my thousands of pdf from personal archive, several times per file (because multiple flatpaks).

These don’t need decluttering I learned, but aren’t managed by package managers either.

Ow … this … just realise its my Windows “legacy-skills” to unlearn …

Although its indeed more confusing it does explain rather well I cant just “port” my habits from Windows to Linux (Debian Gnome in my case).

Also it gave me hints for more research. Thanks!

Thanks! And I will remove it from my search index to restrain from “decluttering”. 👌👍

Or it comes back the same way but doesn’t pose a problem either?

Thanks, this doesn’t say anything tho about 2 levels deep in bullet 10. But I get anything in run/user/1000 serves the same purpose.
