Very accurate. But don't worry, there are worse places along the way!

Recommendation for Email-Provider in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Proton and its services have been pretty good. Some things to know about proton mail:

  • Search is only for titles, as content is encrypted
  • You can do search in the body in your browser. It downloads your email into the browser and searchers locally. It takes a while to do this and build up indexes. I haven't had too much issue searching for things though.
  • Since they don't read your email, no automatic calendar events if there isn't a .ics

The VPN had been great

The storage isn't enough for me to be able to move off of my main cloud provider. There also isn't a way to pin a file on Android for it - and the 500gGB of space is less than I use

The Pass app is handy and it's easy to make aliases, though it often doesn't know to fill in, doesn't do it, or something, and I need to open the app to copy paste. Pretty trivial though.

I'm sticking with them. I don't really have a reason to leave. The aliases are really nice, the catch is that it's not easy to have them go to a sub email address that I use - it has to go to your primary email. Not a huge deal though.

I recently was talking with someone in south America about things in the US, most of which they hated, then when I got to "yeah, a lot of people sell plasma to help get through school" they were like "WTF! I hate your country! Here we do it as a donation! And you do it to help get through school!?" 😂

Tl;dr - fediverse probably won't do too much, and it does have discoverability issues, along with migration issues

Do most digital nomads have a "home base", or are most of you truly nomadic? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

I know this is quite late, but I sold everything and have been fully nomadic for the past year.

I cycle between wanting to travel more and wanting to have some stability in relationships, places, etc. During those times I'll rent space for longer in a CoLive arrangement so that I still have social interactions.

I may be interested. What does being a moderator actually look like in doing it?

Device Recommendation - Anker Power Cube (www.anker.com)
 

I wanted to share this useful gadget. It's a power cube with 3 ac slots + 2 USBA + 1USBC with surge protection, etc. It's much more compact than what I was using before and since the cable is flexible, it effectively uses less space in the bag. I overbought and went with the 10' cable, but the 6' should be fine. You may be able to find it for less on amazon.

A Story about the Tourism Industry in Oaxaca, Mexico - and a story of censorship (www.youtube.com)
 

Bianca Graulau

While reporting on the inequality and unequal treatment between tourists and locals in Oaxaca, Mexico, Bianca was told to not mention the hotel chain because they were affiliated with the company.

In Oaxaca, there is a water shortage that has a great impact on the people there and in the surrounding area. But if you're a tourist, you may not even know.

This story was censored by a big and well-known media company. So I decided to tell it on my own. I look into the following question: does the current tourism model in Oaxaca lead to deeper inequality?

Looking for a way to get automatic calendar event creation from email (lemm.ee)
 

This is a feature that I miss, along with attachments on calendar events. I was thinking of building something myself using NLP and NER to read an email and extract calendar details from it, but I'd need access to an API to be able to do that and the API is no longer public. Is there any way to either get access to these APIs or some other workaround for this?

Travel Tip - Maps (Moovit) (lemm.ee)
 

Google maps doesn't always have good data for transit.

Another option is the app Moovit. It's served me well in Latin America. I'm also trying out Organic Maps and OsmAnd, which are Open Maps apps, but I can't really comment on them yet.

The only catch with transit directions in apps is they'll often have bus numbers, but the buses here have signs for the neighborhoods they go through or the final stop, which makes things tricky, especially since you're trying to read the sign while the bus is moving.

Proton mail - high energy usage when background loading of mail is turned ln (lemm.ee)
 

I noticed my battery drained really quickly since getting proton mail, but the energy use in Androids battery report would only show a few percent. I went from being able to go w whole day with plenty of battery left it having to charge once or twice a day. I turned off the background email loading and my battery levels are back to normal.

A way to reply to a ban (lemm.ee)
 

Hey there! I recently got server banned b/c I was sharing a link in men's communities and I was mistaken for a bot.

I didn't have a way to respond to the ban. I was just logged out. I didn't see a link or even which mod did the ban so that I could reply to them, but then I couldn't get into my account to reply anyway.

It'd be nice to maybe get a "if you think this was in error" email or something.

Although I know that if lemmy was the size of reddit, people would hook that email up to chatgpt, so :/

Anyway, it'd be a nice feature to have. I doubt I'll need it again, but I was quite confused as to what to do.
