Sun Tzu nods, wisely.

I gnu y’all would find a way to pun it up.

Seriously? Some steganography going on in here?

I think you’re going to lose a few people with that first number being off by a decimal place, but the substance of what you said is still relevant and gives insight about the Lemmy experience right now.

I hitched my horse to just what I consider the basics–zip and unzip–and that has made it easy for me. But I’ve been stuck on those.

Extract anything:

tar xf <archive_file>

Create a tbz2 archive:

tar cjf <archive_file.tbz2> <stuff to put in it>

(And tossing in a -v is pretty universal, if that’s your thing.)

Some day, instead of commenting on a reddit Lemmy post, I think I’ll Google how to tell it to use .xz.

Ok, you know what? Today is finally that day. It’s just capital -J instead of lower-case -j! That’s easy enough to remember, I guess.

Well, careful there, ZZ is like :wq; ZQ is like :q!.

Macs are basically BSD, and Windows has WSL.

Hot take? This should have been a major version update.

Ok, I always mistakenly assumed === was the identity operator in JS, too. TIL, thanks! As much as we like to poke fun at JS, every time I’m taught the rationale behind some aspect of it, I find it redeeming and even a little endearing.

“Oh.”

Ah, I should have said “from a domain you own or one of their own”.

The use case I’m talking about, which is the use of arbitrary domains, not Proton-provided ones and not domains you own and control.

I see that Simple Login provides aliases from its own domains, but not a way to use an arbitrary domain.

Proton’s address support overview mentions organizational addresses, but clarifies in the same doc that this is referring to a business plan where that whole organization will be using Proton.

Proton’s switching guide discusses forwarding, and it only instructs the user to tell their contacts about the new Proton address, which defeats the purpose of forwarding addresses.

Here is further discussion about the missing functionality.

Meanwhile, Google lets you use up to 99 of your own email addresses from whatever domains they are.

It only requires you to demonstrate you control the address.

Proton, on the other hand, only supports you owning the whole domain, as their only verification is through DNS TXT records.

I do like Proton, and I needed something like it for a forwarding problem with Gmail.

But it actually lacks one bell/whistle that Gmail offers. Both services work to receive mail for forwarding addresses, but, on Gmail, you can also send from your forwarded addresses. Proton will only send from a domain you own. So if you get mail forwarded from my.name@alumni.myuniversity.edu or treasurer@myclub.org, you won’t be able to reply or send from those addresses on Proton. Judging by how long people have been asking for that ability, I doubt Proton intends to ever provide that.

Maybe off-topic answers since you probably specifically meant fediverse communities, but here’s my thoughts:

• Local Buy Nothing groups can be a great way to keep things in use and out of landfills.
• I would think any craft communities might be a great way to get general ideas.
• I see what you did there.

Just my thoughts, fwiw.
