  I don’t know what you mean by “ethical”, but I use Sendgrid. They have a free tier that can send up to 100 emails a day.

  Highly recommend. I moved my web hosting from my home server to a CPX11 server for better uptime (my tinkering around in the homelab was always bringing things down) and couldn’t be happier. It’s dirt cheap (cheaper than shared web hosting, even), performant (performance is better than shared web hosting) and reliable. With a 20TB bandwidth limit at the lowest tier, I can reverse proxy for most of my homelab, too.

  Has someone being awkward or a bit weird ever dissuaded you from having romantic interest in them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asking a girl out for comic book store date?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  "Hey, wanna go on a comic book store date with me at [store name] on [day of the week]?

  The ask, the expectation of a date (and admission of romantic interest), and a specific time and place. Don’t leave the question open-ended or vague. Then she can respond in a few ways: 1. Yes. 2. I’m not free that day; is there another day that we could go? 3. No thank you.

  This makes everything as clear as it can be, with little room for misunderstanding. And it’s not a dumb idea at all to have a comic book store date. If you have a hard time talking to girls, don’t talk to girls. Talk to humans who happen to be girls. They’re people, and you’re a person too, so you don’t need to overthink it.

  You got this! Good luck!

  Yeah, my dad and I would actually take them up on these offers. Win-win. I imagine you haven’t looked at wood prices in a while. Even firewood is expensive. We’d turn some of them into boards (walnut, in particular), and get plenty of winter fuel with the rest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨File size preference for Radarr?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It can save data by excluding data streams that you don’t need. For instance, I don’t need French, Italian, Japanese, German 5.1 audio streams that each have 700Mbps bitrates or higher, nor do I need an English 1.5Gbps master audio stream, a 700 Mbps English stream, a 500 Mbps descriptive audio for the blind, and 5 different special edition commentary tracks for a film I’ll watch once or twice. All those tracks can really add up, and torrent sites are often country or language specific, so remuxes might have original language and/or native language audio only.

  I don’t know what a hundredweight is, but I’m just guessing based on American experience that it’s a unit of volume equal to 132 quarts.
