Am I a loser if I stick to POSIX?

TBH if you’re OK with 12TB then shucking drives can be a good deal for TB/pound. 12TB usually guarantees the IronWolf/Exos/Red Pro drives

In theory that shouldn’t be possible unless the app runs as root. Although I’m sure somebody out there has a zero day for it. Yeah I don’t know, I don’t give any application permission to use location services, and the ones like maps I set it to “Ask me every time”. I hope that’s good enough for now

I’ve settled for using Thunderbird for POP + Recoll for search. I can’t believe how good Recoll is; in my opinion this is even better than Gmail’s search in their Web GUI. I will be using Recoll for a lot more things now, but my immediate need for search has been fixed for now. Though running Thunderbird just for downloading emails does seem a bit overkill. We’ll see

If I don’t give them permissions to use Bluetooth and cut off their access to WiFi (VPN based firewall), is this threat prevented or am I a fool?

How has your experience been with Mutt? I’ve heard about neomutt from a lot of people but I’m honestly a bit intimidated to move to a completely CLI-based email client especially because it’s another configuration file which I’ll need to be mindful of

Can you name some distros which are FOSS only and would whine if I were to attempt non-FOSS software installs? Debian now bundles non-free software by default (it’s an opt-out now instead of opt-in)

Just coming back to say that I’m loving recoll. I’ve set up Thunderbird to download everything with POP and I’ve pointed recoll at the profile directory. Since Recoll also seems to be able to read PDFs, it is giving me amazing results at blazing speeds. Honestly if there was a decent application to just pull down email with POP I probably wouldn’t even open thunderbird other than to reply to stuff

Xe is insanely talented. If she is who I think she is, then I’ve watched her speak and her depth of knowledge across computer science topics is insane.

I look forward to TOR’s PoW coming out for FOSS WAFs

I don’t think AI companies care, and I wholeheartedly support any and all FOSS projects using PoW when serving their websites. I’d rather have that than have them go down

FreshRSS or TinyRSS

I would like account credits too, but I don’t know if they do that for single users. I do think they have something like that for enterprises

That might actually be the case. I am indeed on Debian stable. Thanks

Honestly I might try this. Or maybe I can use grep lol. We’ll see how it fits in my workflow, I’m comfortable in the CLI but haven’t really entertained the idea a CLI email client before. Thanks

Is this using Quick Filter or Classic search?

I didn’t know about this extension. I will try it. Thanks

Please do. I’m on Debian and it didn’t work for me

I’ve always wondered if Backblaze B2 would accept advance payments. I would love that

Agreed, and I do plan to move to other providers. I should add that I find a desktop client convenient, and I don’t mind the Thunderbird UI at the moment. Unfortunately, lack of a single feature breaks it for me
