Any opinions about Filen? (filen.io)
 

While I'm waiting for the Linux desktop client for Proton Drive . . . does anyone have any experience with Filen?

Replacement for Roost "smart batteries?" (lemmy.ml)
 

Up until recently there used to be these special batteries you could put in your fire/smoke/CO alarm that would contact you on your smartphone if the alarms went off while you were away.

They don't make them anymore, and if you want anything equivalent, it seems like you have to buy into an entire "smart home control system" or whatever they're called, and I don't need or want that.

It doesn't have to be a battery, but is there some way I can set up my alarms to contact me without surrendering all my privacy? The alarms I have now also aren't hard-wired into the house, which could present a problem, but that's why the Roost batteries were so nice!

Asking because USPS's frequently doesn't work.

What search engine(s) besides DuckDuck have !bangs? (lemmy.ml)
 

SearXNG does, I think...any others? Looking around for other engines that aren't US-based, though I guess DDG is still considered acceptable for LibreWolf's default engine. Bangs are incredibly useful!

Which is why I left the Democratic party and became an independent (we have open primaries here so it's ok).

Hey Dems, don't try to resist or anything!

I've got Keepass for password manager and Mullvad for VPN, and both have worked out really well for me so far. What I haven't been able to find is a good alternative to Proton Drive. For aliases I use Firefox Relay.

You know what would be really great? If Thunderbird actually had its own email service (@thunderbird.net) and not just a client. When they were switching K9 Mail over to Thunderbird mobile, it seemed like there might have been the slightest hint on their blog that they were at least considering it (or maybe I dreamed it). Might be a good source of income for Mozilla too...🤔

Supposedly rclone can work with Proton Drive, but for me at least, it seemed way too complicated to set up.

As a Linux person, I, too, am somewhat tired of being treated like a second-class user. Having no Linux client for Drive is a real pain.

Mullvad VPN has worked well for me.

Putin's (very) useful idiot is now in the process of completing his work destroying the US federal government. Hope state governments can pick up the slack, because they'll have to.

EDIT: And, surprise! Red states are more dependent on federal funding than blue states are.
