Thank you so much!

Most welcome. Hope you check it out!

The latter for sure. I get email from two other accounts in my onmail. I’m not sure if they have imap themselves as I’ve never wanted to 😀

My excitement is maybe small, but I’m excited about the 5-ish hours of sleep I’ve just had, which is such a gift after weeks of pain waking me up all the time

Onmail is pretty awesome. You get 10gb free and it has a function where you have to approve first contacts. Very easy way to block spammers.

I use it to get mail from two other accounts.

I have used proton before and it’s fine but the one annoyance is that it treats mail in trash as archived mail, which means that you get a lot of: there is deleted mail in this thread.

Try it with oatmilk. It’s so delicious!

I especially love the barista oat milk with cereal. It’s a little more expensive, but delicious.

Almond milk is so wonderful as well.

The first thing that came to mind: an olive fork. It was an expensive brand too.

I don’t eat olives and the giver knew that. The fork is still unused in my junk drawer.

Don’t have a tip from my own life, but I know someone who has them 😊

I can highly recommend minimalmom on YouTube. She makes videos about family minimalism, and I think her info may be very useful.

She is currently running a course on minimalism that explains the concepts of it.

Yeah, those dang bots! I haven’t found a place I used to visit without tons of spam

I do sometimes go back, but most of the places I used to visit are empty other than bots sharing crap. It used to be such a great place, had really supportive groups but also many many weird ones.

I agree. IRC was definitely great. Staying connected was definitely a problem, but the conversations made up for that. I had so many good friendships there, and I loved the ease of creating a new channel and gather there with friends. The ops system was definitely really good. You could do everything with the channel.

I do frequent old servers I used to hang out on sometimes, if they still exist, that is, but like usenet, most channels are for downloading or nsfw stuff. Really sad, it was such a cool place to be!

I really miss IRC and usenet. And I know both still exist but I miss the communities there 😊

There are a couple of types of procrastination for me.

There is the productive kind, where I’m idling away while pondering a blog post or a plot point in my writing.

And the unproductive kind. The kind where I just don’t wanna.

What I do is force myself to move. Set a timer for a couple minutes and do a simple task.

This usually helps me get into the flow.

It’s never as bad as you fear.

Sleep is sacred!

I chose lemm.ee because it came highly recommended and rightfully so. Great management and great communities too

I certainly do! Reddit was just too loud in every way.
