Yep exactly this. Creating a new account is a pain in the ass. Every now and then you’ll likely still run into some annoying services that refuse to accept anything but a “well known” email provider because we live in hell. Plus you might still have some old things tied to that account that may be needed in the future.

Set up email forwarding and then just keep it around in case you need it

There’s a fork that does exactly this already. It works but yeah it kind of eliminates the point.

Every time this asshole speaks it just throws the entire company even further off a cliff lmao

I’ve been phasing mine out. Some junk and old things still go to it, but nothing remotely important or interesting to big data. Definitely need to sit down and clean it out for good though.

I didn’t even think of that but honestly yeah that’s kind of insane LMAO

Like I have no problem with appimages for smaller tools, and at least things like Shelly make maintaining them much easier nowadays, but for something like this, what the fuck

It’s also a vibecoded mess and they’re literally advertising it as such: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:k6kg5ccozcphfcmp4zyx3s64/post/3mxtzp6xtwc2u

Legitimately I’d suggest ditching it entirely, or at the very least removing any financial or personal info from your account, because this shit just screams “massive financial breach” in 3-6 months tops.

It just seemed like the most similar choice that meets my needs. I looked at some of the other options - I’d go with Proton if it weren’t for the issues mentioned, I used them for a bit and the service works very well. Nym seemed interesting, but I don’t believe they offer Wireguard configs? I could be wrong.

This sums it up well. Their products are fine, but putting everything into one company isn’t a good idea, and the political statements leave little faith.

I use their free Drive for sharing files, but I’ve moved to Tuta for email and just about everything else selfhosted. I’m still running out a mullvad subscription but I’ll be switching that to IVPN when it expires.

All of our work laptops just updated this month and everyone’s having all sorts of bizarre issues. My KVM switch is fucking up now but only on the work machine, my personal desktop is fine. Classic Microsoft.

Probably triple as many as they claim to have fixed

Replacing them with the email threads about it is actually so goddamn funny though.

The only weird bit I see with this so far is it resets if the system powers off. I’m definitely gonna keep an eye on this though and hope for a more permanent solution.

I’ve seen one somewhere that changes AI PRs to nothing but the word “meow” which was pretty funny, but this is so much better than that

I held on to my old phone when I last upgraded just for this reason. If I ever need to travel internationally in the next few years, that’s the one that’s coming with me. And as much as I’d like to bring my steam deck for travel entertainment, that’s staying home too.

Takes some tinkering but I’ve been liking it. Like so many FOSS projects right now there’s some LLM involvement unfortunately, but this dev’s been putting out really solid projects even before all this stuff came about.

Definitely works better than SearXNG, plus the customization and the plugin system are excellent. 4play for google searches didnt work well for me, but the Google CSE engine solved that problem.

This thread is the first I’m ever hearing of this thing and god this looks like such a mess.

I’ve gotten a few updates to go through after repeatedly clearing the cache and trying new accounts, but yeah it’s pretty fucked lately. Google’s probably trying to crack down on the burner accounts it uses.

I’m using my Steam Machine partially for the same purpose, but this is the first I’m hearing about this receiver. I got a shitty little PC remote that kind of works but isn’t great, I might give this a shot
