  • Are you a troll? Why would he lie about this? I’ve been on both sides of this, I self-hosted my email for over a decade, then just this year made the switch to proton. This guy isn’t lying, if you set up your DNS, DMARC, SPF, etc, properly, you don’t get the issues you’re describing unless the receiver has misconfigured or over-protected their inboxes. And surely you’re not thick enough to think the same line of code on Proton’s side is responsible for sending an upgrade link in the web-app, and in an email. That means it’s a separate issue, a different bug, if you could even call it that.

    Its seems like you’re just angry and feel like yelling at anyone else that doesn’t coddle you and your particular perspective. They’re trying to share their knowledge with you and you’re getting angry at them for that. Aim your anger at those who actually deserve it.

    My guy they (formerly I) know. After you’re hooked it feels out of your control. It becomes a mechanism your brain uses to alleviate stress or to relax. For me, for a long time, it helped me socialize, as I was alone in a new city, working a serving job. After it became a part of who I was, stopping wasn’t just ceasing buying and smoking cigarettes, it was now changing my identity and my personality.

    I’ve quit now but I’m here to tell you its big ask of someone, and you shouldn’t judge folks who try and fail, but treat it as a vallient effort, and encourage them to try again.

    I hear you though, having been a non smoker for a few years now I can smell it and I know what you mean. Just try to remember those are real people behind the addiction, and that for those of us old farts, some of us thought it made us look cool, and were led into it, despite the warnings.

    Hey I’ve been there, and after reflecting on it, the truth is, (at least from my perspective), you don’t really, truely want it yet. Don’t take that as judgement, I’m certainly not in a place to judge, but I’ve kicked severeral multi-year addictions, and weed was one I had the pleasure of just “deciding to quit”. For me quitting weed came with breaking a friendship of the longtime smoking buddy I had, though after getting off of it and reflecting, I realize he was just using me as a convenient spot to store his weed. YMMV, but I think you got this, and hopefully my experience lends some light onto your difficulties with quitting.






  • Hey, I’m not disagreeing with you here, but keep in mind none of those things are necessary for survival, and most such products can last decades if properly maintained.

    I think you’re arguing against the most extreme interpretation of what this person said.

    To give you an example, I’ll show you what it looks like if I were to interpret your comment in the same way:

    In some capacity, you have to admit, self sufficiency is possible. Forged metal, magnets, and batteries aren’t necessary to sanitize water, grow, forage or hunt food, or to build shelter.








  • These are good notes. Just what I was hoping for. I’m using a dutch oven with a splash of water added just before the dough to get it steamy.

    Next time I’ll

    • nix the sugar completely
    • use at least 50g of starter
    • use my hand to mix
    • try to resist the urge to add flour

    The last point will be the hardest. Every time I’ve attempted sourdough before this it’s been extremely wet, no matter what I do. Like, so wet that the scoring cuts just immediately heal.
