Work has been going okay. I'm (unfortunately) getting back into Runescape, so that's been my main method of passing the time both in the slower parts of my shift plus my weekends. I'm getting coffee with my big sister this coming weekend and, barring any last-minute hesitation, I intend to come out to her. I don't know how she'll respond, but she's always been the one person I can go to with stuff that I don't feel comfortable talking to my parents about, so I have my fingers crossed.
Based on the reading I've done, it doesn't really seem like one exists - it's just not what email was designed to do. I'm not an infosec professional, but that's the impression I've been given by others in the field.
My experience has been fine. If you go into Proton Mail with the understanding that you're doing it to stop Google from data mining your email, and not for the sake of truly private/anonymous email, you'll have a good time. The aliasing feature is super nice as well.
Dare I say things are going better this week? I've still got little worries, but I'm at least functioning normally again. I had my first electrolysis appointment today. News flash: having your face electrocuted hurts. I'm hoping I can get some numbing cream from my doctor so I don't have to dread my appointments in the future.
Not sure I have much in the way of beneficial advice right now. I'm just doing my best to work toward being pretty while also trying not to compare myself to other people. 🥹
I usually stay away from the political content for the reason you mentioned, but I figured I'd chime in and say I think this was a good decision. Stonetoss is a piece of shit, but there are plenty of other places on the internet for posts like that to happen.
I'm miserable. I'm seriously hoping that my happy pills will start putting in some work soon, because I haven't been able to eat or sleep for two weeks now. I do have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, so I'll hopefully be able to get some answers to stuff that's been bothering me.
Fucking hell, 2+ years to get a diagnosis? I'm sorry you've had to go through that, and I'm glad you're finally going to be getting the meds you need without going bankrupt in the process. Still rooting for you and Meghan. :D
Are you doing personal file storage, or is this for backups from a server? If it's the latter case, and if your use case would benefit from deduplication, you could just stay on Backblaze and use something like Duplicacy (available as a free CLI app or paid web UI) to deduplicate and encrypt your files. This is the approach that I use for my homelab. The only issue you run into is that, in the case of Duplicacy, you have to use the CLI or web UI to restore your files (and god help you if you lose your keys).
