It's a really bad platform in general and has a lot of censorship issues as well. Good for Chinese content though..

It's possible to sign up without a Chinese phone number and get a higher resolution but yes it kinda sucks. I only use it for Chinese content.

Tbh the only country I ever worry about will actively try to deport me for just trying to be a tourist, on some bogus charge after checking social media, would be the US. Can't ever think of any other country that would care or act with the same sense of superiority as the US.

US is also like the only country, as far as I know, in the world that presumes you want to immigrate there and you have to prove them otherwise to be let through

Very nice. I played it for a bit recently but I quit at the water temple, didn't intend to but it kinda made me. To no ones surprise I guess?

Is corporate always the only alternative? I've been working in the public and non-profit sector, even in IT, and it's always been much chiller than "corporate". Maybe small companies are better too. Though I'd like to avoid working at all if possible, which made my returns to the working force always a bit meh anyway.

I decided on Mailbox.org!

Interesting! Thanks for this

Regarding having your own custom domain for all emails. I have one with my name which I use for professional communication but I'd like the rest, like mails from Lemmy, to go to an address which can't be identified with me. Is it better trusting a domain name registrar and WHOIS to not give out info than e.g. Mailbox.org? Like yeah, sure, I could register another custom domain but this is what I'm worried about.

Yeah kinda just leaning towards them in the end now after much back and forth. I also get 6 months free.

Mailfence looks super interesting, but yeah, a bit more expensive. I'll definitely look into it.

 

Like, we live on so much space but require furniture to be able to use it. I started sitting on the floor for large parts of the day last year and it's been really nice. Also helps with general mobility!

 

I'd want to split them up so I can let the mails that go to @mailbox.org, be received by a different inbox than my custom domain email. Is this possible?

I'm currently paying for two different email providers, 1 for my custom domain and 1 for the rest (KolabNow). I'd like to reduce my costs and streamline this a bit. Didn't really know where to post though so I'm trying here.

 

Excluding Nyaa or private trackers, as many ongoing and more obscure titles aren't available to torrent. I've been using Comick and Weeb Central, but I don't really know how up to date they are on new scanlations as I think they're mostly aggregating from other sources?

 

I pay for 500 gb on Filen, €3.99 a month, which feels like a fair deal.

And are translations always done based on the native language or do they translate from e.g. the English subtitle to another language? Asking because this definitely feels like something they would skimp out on if they could.

I'm constantly feeling guilty about "not doing enough" when it comes to my hobby of learning Chinese. I have been averaging around 3-4hrs every day (I often do 25-minute pomodoro sessions to ensure full focus) for these last 6 months, balancing it with a full-time job, working out and trying to be social. I have no co-dependents and my job is sometimes quite chill which makes this doable. Either way, I still feel guilty of not being able to "obsess" over it every day by studying 8hrs as, apparently, some internet people claim they do. Even while balancing it with other stuff. Or you know, just looking at students studying engineering/law/medical school and also saying they spend 8-10hrs a day studying. Like, I didn't even spend a fraction of this time studying by myself when I went to uni.

In the end, how many hours of deep focus a day is reasonable? Are the people saying they study 8hrs a day just lying? Or is a lot of unproductive time counted into these 8hrs? Like yes, they sit for 8hrs, but every 10 minute they check their phone for 10 minutes and then resume studying?
