  • They’ve stuck it under its own app entry. Both K-9 and Thunderbird end at 8.2 for suggested releases.

    I just installed Thunderbird, looks identical, just a rebrand. They’re so identical the import function is seamless mostly seamless.

    Not sure if it’s a quirk of GrapheneOS or just the way things are now, but for gmail accounts, you’ll need to go in to something like Settings > Account > fetching mail > incoming server and then hit next.

    This will dump you back in to the google web login auth page, so you can approve the app for each account.

    Otherwise, the sync and alert settings are copied just fine, so it’s good enough.












  • Lots of people have been talking about products and tools. It’s docker, tailscale, cloudflare proxmox etc. These are important, but will likely come and go on a long enough timescale.

    In terms of actual skills, there’s two that will dramatically decrease your headaches. Documention and backup planning. The problem with developing those skills is, to my knowledge, they’ve only ever been obtained through suffering. Trying to remember how to rebuild something when you built it 6 months ago is futile. Trying to recover borked data is brutal. There’s no fail-safe that you haven’t created, and there’s no history that you haven’t written. Fortunately, these are also the most transferable skills.

    My advice is, jump in. Don’t hesitate. The chops in docker/linux/networking will come with use and familiarity. If it looks cool, do it. Make mistakes. You will rapidly realise what the problems with your set up are. You will gain knowledge in leaps and bounds from breaking a thing vs learning by rote or lesson. Reframe the headaches as a feature, not a bug - they’re highlighting holes in your understanding. They signpost the way to being a better tech, and a more stable production environment.

    The greatest bit about self hosting for me is planning the next great leap forward, making it better, cleaner, more robust. Growing the confidence in your abilities to create a system you can trust. Honing your skills and toolset is the entirety of the excercise, so jump in, and don’t focus on any one thing to master or practice before hand!






  • How someone is pronouncing W is actually a good way to guess where the speaker is from, or where the person that taurht them learned english.

    double you for british/american accents

    dubba you for some american accents

    Dablu or dabloo is a clear indication that the speaker is not a naitive western english speaker, usually indicating indian for the speaker.

    double v (often pronounced as double we) usually points towards somewhere near germany/holland/belgium

    I’ve never heard anyone say just dub, curious if anyone has?

    Edit: I lied. W pronounced ‘dub’ is only ever used to indicate a ‘win’. e.g. ‘Took the dub’

    Maybe this is explained somewhere if I could be bothered to research it, but how can he be actually illiterate?

    He has an instagram account. How is he reading anything to do with it if he’s illiterate? Sub numbers, password resets, comments? How would he even know people are watching if he can’t read numbers?
