  • ¯\(ツ)/¯ maybe, but as long as I have the option and it’s not tedious to do so (which is the case), I’m gonna opt out and encourage others to do so. Fair enough if your perspective is you want to accept whatever new security theater data collection is implemented in exchange for some perceived convenience. Making your case here with me in this conversation has taken more effort on your part than opting out of facial recognition at the security checkpoint in an airport would have, and I find that fact amusingly ironic.


  • I’ve been in and out of DFW, BOS, and JFK since these facial recognition scanners went in and I can tell you with a great deal of confidence that there’s no additional wait time, or queue, or anything else if you opt out. There’s a TSA agent right next to the scanner who collects your ID whether you get scanned or not. That’s the same person who otherwise just checks it if you opt out. What are you even on about? Maybe its different at some airports, but I’ve been opting out every time I fly and it’s no big deal.





  • Are you a troll? Why would he lie about this? I’ve been on both sides of this, I self-hosted my email for over a decade, then just this year made the switch to proton. This guy isn’t lying, if you set up your DNS, DMARC, SPF, etc, properly, you don’t get the issues you’re describing unless the receiver has misconfigured or over-protected their inboxes. And surely you’re not thick enough to think the same line of code on Proton’s side is responsible for sending an upgrade link in the web-app, and in an email. That means it’s a separate issue, a different bug, if you could even call it that.

    Its seems like you’re just angry and feel like yelling at anyone else that doesn’t coddle you and your particular perspective. They’re trying to share their knowledge with you and you’re getting angry at them for that. Aim your anger at those who actually deserve it.




  • Hey, I’m not disagreeing with you here, but keep in mind none of those things are necessary for survival, and most such products can last decades if properly maintained.

    I think you’re arguing against the most extreme interpretation of what this person said.

    To give you an example, I’ll show you what it looks like if I were to interpret your comment in the same way:

    In some capacity, you have to admit, self sufficiency is possible. Forged metal, magnets, and batteries aren’t necessary to sanitize water, grow, forage or hunt food, or to build shelter.





  • These are good notes. Just what I was hoping for. I’m using a dutch oven with a splash of water added just before the dough to get it steamy.

    Next time I’ll

    • nix the sugar completely
    • use at least 50g of starter
    • use my hand to mix
    • try to resist the urge to add flour

    The last point will be the hardest. Every time I’ve attempted sourdough before this it’s been extremely wet, no matter what I do. Like, so wet that the scoring cuts just immediately heal.
