Oh not a troll, just a moron. How sad.
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.
Nice. Do drive next!
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.
Oh I thought that was an April fools joke! I’m pretty sure I saw something about it on April 1st on the homepage. Had no idea it was a real thing.
What the heck is archinstall?
Me too, though, while I’ve seen him be critical of tactics, admittedly I’ve never seen JCS do an entire episode about crimes committed by the police themselves.
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.
I think that’s how they said “gold digger” ~2700 years ago
S6E4 Game Changers dropped literally yesterday and you wasted no time recycling the joke
Ah yes, I know the feeling well. I know it sounds crass, but I see this as one of the features of Arch.
Solving this will teach you things about your computer, and computers at large, that you’d otherwise never encounter.
If your box breaks due to updates often, one of two things is wrong:
Let me tell you what I mean by that:
dmesg
or journalctl
to search for problemsI wouldn’t be half the sysadmin I am today if I hadn’t spent literal weeks fixing things I broke by upgrading, changing something and rebooting, or similar practice.
The next level is finding the commits to the FOSS responsible for your problem, and pushing the fix yourself.
That being said, there have been several occasions when Arch will post an update on their homepage titled “Manual intervention required”. Following the contained advice, if you’re affected by the issue, will usually be the easiest path forward.
I know you came here looking for answers, I’m sorry, I don’t have them for you. What I do have is encouragement, and the wisdom of someone who’s gone through the same gauntlet you’re going through now. Stick with it. You will succeed if you try hard enough, and it is worth it in the end.
My solution is to host a virtual machine with my dev workstation, and use Windows or Mac for business admin stuff like email, slack, etc.
Are you sure there’s a conspiracy here, and not just a bunch of folks laughing at and copying a popular meme format?
Because its funny, I like Taylor a lot, no one is totally guiltless. This isn’t about making people accountable, its about making people laugh.
Got a link? That sounds extremely interesting!
It doesn’t have to be a compromise
You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.
Any change to appease you would be a compromise, you understand this, yes?
Yeah pretty much. It obviously depends on your company’s continuity priorities but you’re going to have a pretty hard time doing a better job of backing up databases and keeping them safe per dollar than Amazon does.
