Thanks! I think Aaron’s archive is probably the first!

Every time I leave the NL, it starts snowing. During December it was the same thing. 😱 Have fun!

Those are good points. Dutch people frequently complain about their public transport, but it works very well in general. I have Day Discount subscription for the trains that costs 5.10 EUR a month and gives 40% discount during off-peak hours, weekend and public holidays. Additionally, up to 3 people traveling with me can get 40% discount too (albeit group tickets would be less expensive in this case). And I think that’s a pretty good discount, considering the overall train prices and service quality. Even with all this discounts I spent over 90 EUR on public transit last month 😂 Free weekends is 31.60 EUR per month.

Fun fact: Dutch students are entitles to a Student Product where they can choose to travel for free during weekdays or weekend on any public transport carrier in the entire country. Technically, EU students are also entitled but it’s a very long process (because they want to make it difficult), which I started three months ago and still know nothing about it. Also, this is not “free”: it’s a gift. If you don’t finish a degree within 10 years, you have to pay everything back and it’s over 300 EUR per month.

In the Netherlands, something equivalent would be 362.40 * 12 = 4348.8 EUR per year and only includes train… And the country is much smaller than Germany. To include metro, bus and trams thorough the country, just throw some 2022.00 EUR more.

• NS Flex Altijd Vrij: 362.40 * 12 = 4348.80 EUR
• NET Subscription (Metro, Bus & Tram): 2022.00 EUR

Total p/ year: 6370.8 EUR

The cherry on top of the cake is that here you vote with a red pencil ✏️🔴

I recently transitioned from ImprovMX to Migadu to lower my costs. However, I’m planning to move everything over from Google (Calendar, Contacts and E-mail). Unfortunately, Migadu doesn’t have official support for Calendar and Contacts yet. They say that will be available within two months. However, they’ve given other similar deadlines over the last year that did not happen.

I have considered Fastmail. It would still be cheaper than ImprovMX, but more expensive than Migadu. But at least I would have access to all the features. However, it is also based in Australia with servers in the USA and there is some controversy about that. I don’t know yet. I also considered using my own domain with iCloud but the three aliases is pretty limiting.

Does anyone else have any recommendations? I’m thinking about just waiting to see if Migadu releases actual support within two months, or just move to Fastmail.

Three times 😊 Good luck moving!

To avoid future issues, I removed the p-name property when there’s no title. This should also fix a similar issue when I appended ellipsis to the title if it was a truncation of the content. Thanks for pointing it out!

I think separating fiction from non-fiction may be an interesting strategy. I should try reading on an e-reader once to see how I feel. I feel like the ability to easily mark sentences and check the meaning of words can be very helpful.

There’s some issues I’ve been noticing with Aperture and even with Monocle. I use many different types of posts and some aren’t supported by those readers, such as listens or reads. On the other hand, I add additional markup on my JSON and RSS feeds to take those contexts into account. I will keep using Miniflux for now and focus on improving my JSON and RSS feeds as there are some issues here and there.

I 100% agree. But it seems that for Twitter, being @verified is just for notable people 😃 everyone else can be impersonated.

Unfortunately I haven’t been using this configuration myself for a while so I’m not aware of what might’ve happened. However, what you wrote seem expected unless I didn’t understand it.

having set the client to work with full tunnel, all traffic that does not go to the local subnet now gets routed to the internet using the VPS ip

On a full tunnel VPN, all the traffic will be routed through the VPN server, which is the VPS. It seems like you want to have a split tunnel configuration which requires you to add the AllowedIPs option, as I explained in the last part of the post.

I hope that helps!

Well, that clearly worked. Maybe I should also add an option on whether or not to share it on Twitter. Or maybe not. I can defer those complicated things to Quill.

Congratulations 🎉

You’re not alone!
