A true role model.

Here you get a debit card by default with your bank account, and that one’s free. You might get a credit one, but credit limits are typically low. I lived in Canada for 9 years and by the time I left I had a CC with a limit of 26k CAD. Here my Spanish credit card has a limit of 1.2k euros, and I’ve had it for quite a long time.

In Spain at least there’s quite a lot of confusion with this. People call any card type a “credit card”, even debit ones.

I’m not completely sure. Sometimes I find stuff in one site I don’t find in any of the other two. Also, I don’t know how often catalogues are synced.

Yes. I combine libgen with Anna’s Archive and Z-Library and there’s very, very little I can’t find.

Combine that with KOReader and this is pure bliss.

I’ve been using Fastmail for a few years and I’m quite happy with the service. Being a semi-large organization I expect their security to be OK, but if anyone has comments on that aspect I welcome them.

As for privacy, I always consider e-mail to be a postcard. If I want to encrypt something, I use GPG locally.

In Spain (not sure about Europe in general) things are slightly different.

I have been living in Canada for 9 years, and there if you see a transaction you don’t recognize in your credit card statement you phone your bank and they take care of that.

Here in Spain you need to go do the police, file a report, then talk to your bank, then they’ll think about it.

So when I came back I was talking with some guys I know and they convinced me that, at least around here, it’s still a good idea to use Paypal. You also get faster refunds, etc (and that could be due to some European regulation, not sure).

I like it a lot, but sometimes I feel he’s going to get eaten alive by the character he’s created. He should tone it down a notch sometimes.

Damn, I was used to work around shitty stuff on Teams. Are you telling me they’re going to push another, different set of bugs on me now?

What has been your involvement with Reddit as a user so far? I’m trying to understand what users are getting those offers.

Some people have already commented how to find it.

However, on a tangential note: last I heard, they stopped adding new papers due to a trial in India, but I never found out the outcome of that. Anyone has news about this, or did I dream it?

With the new EU’s interconnection laws I hope I can WhatsApp from Pidgin, or even from irssi!

But no, I don’t use pidgin anymore. irssi, yes.

Also, some (most?) RSS readers don’t need the path to the feed directly. You give them the regular URL and they’ll figure it out. TinyTinyRSS does it.

Gnomon. A massive disappointment.

Wealthsimple and Questrade seem to support TOTP but I’m not sure if you can still bypass it with SMS. I don’t think so but I haven’t dug into it.

Questrade allows TOTP, SMS and some other methods, but you can select which ones you want to enable. I have only TOTP and it works as expected.

You can generate a code grid and remove SMS altogether.

I wish I had known about Power Delete Suite. I nuked my posts / comments by hand :-(

In case it’s useful to more people: https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite

I trust there won’t be a hack and all that will get leaked.

Yes, these things are never dead. They just come back under a different name / pretensions until they pass.

I just spent a while today deleting all my posts and comments. At this point they’ll probably have plenty of copies of it, but at least the content is not up for them anymore.

Just trying to see if I can survive without an account there (the “forum fediverse”, if that makes sense, is getting better and better) and then it’ll go to the same place my Twitter and Facebook handles went a while ago.
