I’ve been working on writing my own forum in C# lately. Meant to look like some places I went on back in 2009-ish

I use proton vpn

I was perfectly happy with streaming services for a couple years when there were only like 2 good ones. I stopped torrenting for a long time and now I’m back to torrenting again

I had a bitwarden premium family plan

I recently moved my digital life away from google and microsoft. I previously had the following subscriptions:

• ExpressVPN
• Onedrive
• Bitwarden
• Office 365

And I had a gmail account, which I often used for SSO. I realized that, the total monthly cost of these subscriptions together was more expensive than a single Protonmail *family * subscription, so I cancelled them all, got the family subscription, and now my wife and her sister all have protonmail accounts as well as storage, a password manager, and VPN access. In the process of moving my logins to my protonmail account, so that I don’t have to keep my ancient Facebook account around for signing into things like spotify anymore. Coupled this with moving to the federated internet from reddit and instagram

I also dropped office for libreoffice. MS Office provides dubious value over the free competition, especially with a SAAS model.

Finland. Coffee, cigarette, and vodka. Called blöro

At my company I start all new projects without a framework. I try to write things in templated backend frameworks with no javascript on the frontend. If I need javascript, I try to use web components, styled with modular css in the shadow dom.

However, this sometimes requires an absurd amount of build tool configuration with webpack in order to get static asset and typescript loading working just perfectly. I end up kind of just writing my own framework instead

Hoping this results in more people writing 3D games from scratch

It’s like a better version of npm. monorepos work better with yarn

Quick call? 5min
