Has anyone played along to see what the end scam is?

Induction is the best, I’ll never go back
- Comment on Proton will no longer post on Mastodon 2 days ago:
Tuta has catch all addresses, meaning you can create any email on your domain and it will go into your inbox. For passwords, you can’t beat Bitwarden/Vaultwarden. Tuta has a calendar (but I don’t really use it, I use self hosted WebDAV instead). I’ve not needed a cloud drive (I have a NAS and nextcloud) so I can’t really suggest anything for that.
- Comment on Calendar Options *other* than Tuta / Proton 2 days ago:
Self hosted WebDAV is probably your best bet. I have Tuta but use WebDAV for my calendar.
- Comment on Removing Jeff Bezos From My Bed ◆ Truffle Security Co. 1 week ago:
You can build a simple bed presence sensor using one of those pressure mats used to hook up to alarms in nursing homes and a water/leak detector (I use the aqara detector for this). You just have to strip off the end of the cable from the mat, find the wires that do the circuit inside of the mat (I just used the leak sensor to find them) and wire it up to the sensor. Boom, bed presence sensor!
- Comment on is it wrong/selfish to cut contact with my trump-supporting father? 1 week ago:
No, it’s not selfish, although I’m sure that’s what he would want you to think. You should do what is best for you.
- Comment on EU consumers don’t trust US goods: a look into Trump’s trade deficit claims 1 week ago:
Are you sure you want to talk about facades when you use LLMs to generate your comments?
- Comment on EU consumers don’t trust US goods: a look into Trump’s trade deficit claims 1 week ago:
The “user” you’re responding to uses LLMs to generate comments. Look at their profile if you want to see what I mean.
- Comment on Mail-in-a-Box - simple email server 1 week ago:
It should be noted that email servers, no matter the setup, require you to follow strict standards to achieve proper delivery. It’s very easy to get blacklisted, and it’s next to impossible to get off of said blacklist once you’re on it.
I used to host my own mail server with this, but it got to be too much to get my emails to actually send, I was always wondering if my email was actually delivered or if it was silently bounced or sent to spam. Email is the only thing I’m not willing to self host.
- Comment on Google Calendar Malware Is on the Rise. Here’s How To Stay Safe 1 week ago:
Both Proton and Tuta have almost all of those except for maps. For maps, just use Organic Maps or OsmAnd.
I use all of mine separately anyway, because I care about my privacy and it works better. Google products have become so enshittified and bloated that most alternatives are faster at this point.

Step 1: Don’t use Google Calendar
- Comment on Man who lost $780 million in Bitcoin in a landfill now wants to buy the entire dump before city closes the site 2 weeks ago:
There is no way the storage medium survived all of that time in a dump. If it made it that far, it’s probably crushed, turned to rust, or both. It’s a lost cause.
- Comment on Home server rebuild automation workflow 3 months ago:
I’m now using Fedora CoreOS which can be deployed from config files. It’s really neat to be able to define everything the way you need it and just start up the VM with no further config necessary. I’m using podman to host my services.
- Comment on Is there is any rss feed reader for android that accept the following feeds? 3 months ago:
Bummer, that’s strange.
- Comment on Is there is any rss feed reader for android that accept the following feeds? 3 months ago:
Just took a glance at the settings in Read You, it seems like you might be able to use it locally or with FreshRSS. Might be worth a try. Image
- Comment on Is there is any rss feed reader for android that accept the following feeds? 3 months ago:
I use FreshRSS (a self-hosted RSS aggregator) with Read You (for Android) and have Techdirt and Cascade PBS working. Of course this might require you to self host FreshRSS, but FreshRSS is well worth it.
- Comment on How Ukraine Tortured and Slaughtered Donbass (Al Mayadeen article from July) 3 months ago:
That makes you a moron too since you’re using “such a janky website” just like us, right?!
- Comment on How Ukraine Tortured and Slaughtered Donbass (Al Mayadeen article from July) 3 months ago:
That’s not how federation works. Blocking an instance doesn’t block the users of the instance, at least not right now or by default. Maybe don’t call people morons when you’re the one that doesn’t know how something works?

It was already forked as classicpress.
- Comment on how can i self host my music? 4 months ago:
There are many different ways, but personally (and hopefully I don’t get crucified for saying this) I use Plex and Plexamp. Plexamp has got to be the best music app I’ve ever used. I even tied it into Last.fm to get recommendations for new music based on my listening.
You’d need to set up Plex media server to go this route: …plex.tv/…/200264746-quick-start-step-by-step-gui…
Personally I host via Docker.
It might be a little overkill if you don’t have other media, though, and it’s not fully open source.
- Comment on I'll share a troubling fact with you if you share one with me 4 months ago:
Paper towels are able to absorb water because of cellulose’s natural gaps and spaces:
Most bacteria are about 1 micron, and these gaps range from around 1-10 microns.
Especially if damp, it can be argued that they don’t stop the transfer of bacteria. It’s possible that your bacteria transfers through it and vice versa. This is all before the fact that paper towels can already harbor bacteria on their own.
That being said, paper towels do block some. You just shouldn’t think of them as sterile or a magic blocker for bacteria.

- Comment on I'll share a troubling fact with you if you share one with me 4 months ago:
I have bad news, most (?) paper towels, toilet paper, and even the toilet seat covers are microscopically transparent, meaning there are plenty of gaps for microbes to get through.
