Ha-ha-ha, yeah — I'm mostly a desktop guy myself so I tend to forget about the "app" side of things.
Using a browser is an option, but last time I checked I didn't like Masto's mobile web UI — sidebar on the right taking too much screen space and other minor details like that. Again it's possible to fix with CSS injections, but using a dedicated app is more comfy for a lot of people and integrating proper "night more" would sure be welcome!

@gemlog
Yeah, I totally like your approach — computers are fun, but once you start doing that all day everyday, eventually you start hating it — at least that's how I usually ended up with: having a good job and making good money, but burning out — and taking to take an extensive break, which I could afford. It's fun, but I don't think this can go on indefinitely.
Being able to work outdoors, doing physical work, is good — but it's hard to maintain proper balance once you get a desk job.

@gemlog
It would certainly take time to adapt, but I'm open to learning whatever language I have to and culturally I'm quite openminded.

@gemlog
I have a few friends who moved to Germany and they like it there. Again, I wouldn't mind if I get a good job — having friends to hang out with is also a plus, but somehow this still doesn't sit right with me — probably due to German political establishment and their role in failing to act decisively and stopping this disaster.
I have friends in Spain too and they like the warmer climate, but I'm not a fan — but again, I probably wouldn't mind, I'm not picky 😅

@gemlog
Depend on where I would be able to secure a job — beggars can't be choosers😅
For me getting a job I would be comfortable with is more important than… location.
Originally I was aiming for Poland — culturally not too different, but now I doubt it would be possible, or in the foreseeable future, I don't expect everyone to be hostile, but it's still hard to avoid being prejudiced, especially for Poles. Same goes for Baltic states I think…
So Western Europe most probably 🤷

You mean c@t.net terminal, so you? 😺

@lss @romin @vertka
…and has access to top-secret zero-day vulnerability acquired from the KGB! 😱

@vertka
Good idea, I think it would be greatly appreciated 😏

@vertka @romin
No, you should try it at the office, preferably updating all servers and client workstations at the same time: systems crashing, fires breaking out, numerous human casualties — fun! 😈

@gemlog
Nah! I'm currently unemployed and living in the city I don't have to go out much — unless I do it on my own volition. It's only raining here — it did snow a couple of times, but it fails to stick yet. This type of weather: neither raining, nor snowing, nor clear — botches my sleep schedule and I'm in this permanent state of half-asleep half-awake — not great, but I'll be fine.
Good luck with your routine!

@gemlog
Sounds nice! I'll check it out too — thanks again!

@gemlog
I mean sure, it adds an extra layer of security — as they (supposedly) do not store your messages in the clear, this makes using SMTP and IMAP impossible, but if you do need them, it's an extra hassle.

@gemlog
It's one of the motivations behind switching to self-hosting for me — to be able to use it with DeltaChat, as with Proton I'm unable to — they aren't providing direct SMTP access, only via their own proton-bridge, which is intended to be run locally — and running it on a phone doesn't sound like a good idea 😅

@gemlog
Did you ever try DeltaChat — the thing that adds an IM-like interface to e-mail?
They have developed a set of scripts to help people self-host e-mail serviced compatible with it: https://github.com/deltachat/chatmail
They expect the distro of your VPS to be systemd-based so I probably won't be able to use it as is, but essentially, they are just deploying dovecot and postfix and I intend to do something similar.

@gemlog
Yep, sure, I'm keeping my addresses on Proton domains — protonmail.ch and others, but I'm thinking of switching to self-hosting for my own ones: m0xEE.Net .Org and .Com
I'll look into Contabo, thank you!

@gemlog
Does it come with a dedicated IPv4 address?🤔
Maybe it's time to ditch Proton and self-host my e-mail?

@Mek101
Yeah, true in many cases — could probably be mitigated with proper design. I mean at least something like exception within exception handler leading to runtime abort won't happen, which, again, depending on design, might be okay or a total disaster 😂

@Mek101
In C that would probably be okay though: no exceptions (on programming language level) and no destructors 🤔

@pmwisse
I've switched away from Macs to sway and dwm to not have any fancy effects at all 😂
Starting with OS X 10.10 when Apple doubled down on transparency it became too heavy on the eyes for me to use comfortably — what maybe looked nice on a 15" laptop screen was absolutely unbearable on two 30" displays, it was giving me headaches. They have since backed down on it a bit — but I'm not looking back.

@j @Turkleton
He sure enjoys being near the water — not the first time I see you taking him for walkies and he always enjoys exploring this small pond/canal 😸
Does he always stay nearby when you take him outside like that?
