tekeous··on Duplicati: Free backup software to store encrypted backups online
I don’t use it. I’ve tried, and it’s a large, bloated, unstable program in Docker and when installing natively there’s more dependencies than there is actual backup software. It would quadruple the size of my install on RasPi.

I use restic on servers and Syncthing set to one-way sync for basic folders.

tekeous··on Microsoft is killing custom domain names in Outlook.com
SimpleLogin does exactly this, the person emails foobar@domain.com, you receive that email from random-code-123@simplelogin.com, and when you reply to that out of your WirelessGigabit@domain.com inbox, SimpleLogin will send the reply back out from foobar@domain.com.

Plus it’s from the ProtonMail gang so it’s reasonably secure and private.

tekeous··on Most people don’t finish online job applications
But my time is valuable, even as an employee, or prospective employee, and the reasons why you should hire me are listed right there on my resume. I should not have to give a reason why I want to work there, or I would not have turned in an application.

Cover letters are a waste of my time.

tekeous··on Fedora 36: Fonts in GTK 4 apps look different, more blurry
As someone who uses stock GNOME on Fedora with only minor theme tweaks on most of my devices - speak for yourself! On my touchscreen laptop the large buttons are welcome, and when scaled down on a 4K display it doesn’t matter that much. On my desktop I do use arc-theme however, so I see where you’re coming from.
