Hawaii. I used to live in Florida and while it has some pretty places and neat things, most of it is generic grubby little towns, trailer parks and lots and lots of rednecks. And most of isn't very tropical.

Plus, Hawaii has volcanoes, which are always cool.

YMMV.

Xubuntu on my desktop/laptop, debian on a server. Mostly because while I really like tinkering with things, I usually just want shit to work so I can get something done.

RSSGuard for most things, newsboat for keeping track of software releases on github.

Xfce. Partly because I've used it for a long time, but mostly because it does what I need it to do and little else.

Been pretty good. I only use a few of the things they provide but it's all worked well. The android app is sort of janky because it's mostly several other apps, but I don't blame them for not developing a shiny app for their service.

Mostly I sync contacts, some nextcloud stuff, and use their XMPP server.

No.

It apparently doesn't like me using a VPN. 🤷‍♂️

Actually not what? And yes, I know. Apparently they think that's a bad fit for the thing they're doing. If you disagree, it's open source, fork it and implement it.

It's doing fine? I don't use their email so I can't speak about that, but... Did you have any specific questions?

Or maybe they just think it's a bad idea? Personally, I do too.

If there's a community here for something and it's active, I post here. If not, I post elsewhere.

Two pieces of white bread, mayo, thick slices of tomato and a bunch of black pepper.. Not sure how terrible it is, but I don't generally serve it to others because it's very messy.
