Not only do I use it for my non-primary email accounts, but I use it for NNTP too. :)

I am the same, self-hosting for many years and while I have the occasional question about it, it's easily corrected. I now have a short .com ___domain I use because my .fyi one was even more confusing to people, and simply didn't work with some systems I needed to use.

A bigger problem in my opinion is just how heavily people have associated "Google" with "the internet" and "Gmail" with all email in existence. They don't even think about outlook.com or even hotmail anymore. All email is Gmail to many people.

We have HomeConnect on our new Thermador appliances. I actually went ahead and installed the iOS app and brought everything into Homebridge. (thinking about switching to Home Assistant, though...)

One of the big reasons that I did it is so I'd know when consumables needed to be replaced. The big hope was it would give me a warning when the fridge water filter was full and make buying the exact part easier.

It has failed to do this one thing. But I can get recipes from within the app. I still have no idea what water filter I need and have to try to find the model number.

If you're going to build a cloud setup for appliances, at least make it useful for the end user, eh?

edit: we actually considered a GE washer/dryer for the smart features until I sat down and realized that I was trying to over complicate laundry. We went with a Speed Queen model instead. My dryer now has two knobs and a button to start it.

I see a fair amount of that here in Sacramento. People having block parties, chairs out in the driveways, etc. One of the newer neighborhoods in the area seems like it was designed with this in mine as well. '

It's been a lot of fun. We know our neighbors, people are frequently out walking, talking to each other, and so on.

This is awesome. Thanks! Sensible, easy to use, easy to understand the results.

I've been trying the google one, for example, and it doesn't even work. "request timed out." Fishy, because yours works great.

much appreciated!

for a while back in the early 2000s it felt like Weirdstuff Warehouse was getting pallets of surplus gear from failed dot-coms. along with the office chairs/etc.

Add increased labor costs and your profit margin for late night coffee drops significantly. Add a safety factor, and it becomes a more cost effective option to reduce hours.

We've been seeing that here in my Northern California city for the past few years.

To be clear, I'm not mad at the homeless.

If anything local governments should provide more for these populations, showers at libraries and pop up clinics would do wonders.

Of course the bigger issue would be housing costs going straight to the moon. Rent should be 70% of what it is.

I can’t help but think that adding facilities like shower or laundry at libraries would just make them de facto shelters

Homeless people are going to hang out. Would you rather give them the opportunity to clean up and get some medical assistance or not ?

Ideally you'd plug them into housing assistance programs so the overall numbers of homeless go down overtime.

I've been a paramedic for a long time and I completely agree with this. Years ago I may have been against something like MAID, but once I got into healthcare and especially this job, I now fully support it. It's something that I would hope is there for myself when I need it.

If it's not, unfortunately, I've seen what people will do anyway. Allowing people to die with dignity and on their own terms is something that I believe in.

Rogue reminds me of the Zork series. A simple text interface with your own imagination. The best GUI ever.
