IIRC all plugins you can get via the offical plugin directory are GPL-3

They could already have access to your emails, because… you’re running their OS. They can slip in any code they want and run it with NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM-level privileges (comparable to root-level privileges on Linux systems).

If you run any other OS you’ll also have to trivially trust the makers of that OS with root-level privileges (or comparable).

(Personally I don’t believe that MS is scanning all your local emails, but they certainly have the technical possibilities to do so very trivially.)

And that’s why I’m explicitly noting that they’re not FOSS, doofus. Besides, if you’re using Windows anyway, using its built-in email client is not a huge stretch.

The built-in Mail app is pretty nice, other than that eM Client is good too

Because Apple ships a great one with the OS, so the necessity to make an alternative is less. Compare this to the garbage that passes for e.g. the Samsung weather app.

Beancount + Fava

Belgium has them

sad CJK noises

Oof

Just use the standard Mail app, it’s pretty good

I believe if you create a crontab on a systemd system, it actually synthesizes systemd timers from the crontab entries

I’ve gotten ads for their photo books and their paid plans

Yeah Synology is pretty good with that kind of stuff (we use one at work). They’ve really just got a Linux system with custom management tools on top. Of course for DIY purposes, self-building is still cheaper and more flexible though.

Interesting blog!

Clicked on your NAS article (one of the first linked ones) and spotted an error… you write that Synology NAS boxes don’t use standard RAID, but they do. They have official docs up on how to hook them up to a standard Linux system for disaster recovery (it’s just Btrfs or ext4 on mdadm RAID).

Probably not super relevant for you or most readers, but just thought I’d point it out :)

I would suggest adding some screenshots to your website

Microsoft and Apple have offices around the world though, so it doesn’t really make sense

If you use WSL (which you should), you have a normal Bash, so it works
