I did comparison of Fastmail, Protonmail and Mailfence. Finally, I decided to go ahead with Mailfence due to their end-to-end encryption and stronger privacy focus. I am very happy with Mailfence so far.
I used to have 34 penfriends when I was in high school. I got all these pen pals from organisation called "International Youth Service (IYS)" based in Turku, Finland. Eventually I lost touch with my penfriends when I moved due to education, jobs etc.
My very first penfriend was Betty Marie Jensen from a small place called Nibe, Denmark. I tried to find her on the internet, sent a letter to her old address. No luck. All I know is her name, old address and birthdate. I have her photos, but I don't want to publish them on the internet for her privacy. Is there any government agency besides postal service who can forward my letter to her?
Recently, I tried to revive this hobby. Unfortunately, IYS is closed now. I found a few good penpals on GlobalPenfriends.com
Also tried several other websites like Interpals, Penpal World etc. but they are full of scammers.
Other thing I have started doing is to stop doing any upgrade for things that are already working locally. Example: no more upgrades for HP printer software.
I tend to agree with the sentiment. The only reason I subscribed to ProjectionLab was to appreciate the hard work of Kyle. Otherwise, "New Retirement" (now called Boldin) serves my purpose. It provides similar features and it provides automatic updates too.
I have a basic question somewhat related to this topic. When I am using Mullvad VPN, many websites block access. (E.g. Lowe's or Michaels.com etc). They force me to disable VPN and I don't like it.
My question is how do they detect that I am using a VPN and is there any workaround to access their site when I continue using VPN?
Cartel is the correct word. As an individual consumer, I wanted access to MLS data and was willing to pay a monthly access fee. But they wouldn't provide such access and want you to use the cartel member, real estate agent.
Drupal has a steep learning curve. My personal website is on Drupal and now it is a nightmare even to upgrade it. I wouldn't recommend Drupal unless you have technical skills. It is not plug-and-play.
I bought my last 2 laptops from System76 with pre-installed Ubuntu and Pop_OS Linux. I have been very happy with the build quality and their support, so I will recommend them.
If the money goes back to my NRE account, then I (as a PAN card holder) can myself have an NRE account, tied to a brokerage firm like Zerodha and I can trade and manage my money there myself much more efficiently and at negligible cost?
What is the value proposition you are offering by charging 1% management fee?
I want to learn Ruby on rails. Would you or someone else like to collaborate with me or be my mentor? (I tend to get stuck at times and then lose the momentum).
