I've been using Kraken for a few years and liked it a lot. It had a very nice system of weekly purchasing. Now they have stopped operating in my jurisdiction and I need to find an alternative. I previously used Coinbase and quit them when they wanted me to "re-verify" my driver's license with a new third party company, after I had been trading there with no issues for multiple years. I signed up on Gemini, their account verification "usually takes a couple of minutes" and has been pending in my case for nearly a week now. Not instilling a lot of confidence. What's everyone's other favorites aside from Kraken, Coinbase, and Gemini?
Browsing Reddit at work like I've literally done every work day for the last six years, suddenly Reddit won't let me vote. Says my account has been suspended, but all I have to do is reset my password, using the email address I have on file. I don't have one. Can't get the email to reset the password, can't add an email now. I can be logged in but can't vote or comment or post. A 12 year old Reddit account down the drain. The password was unique, 20 characters with upper and lowercase letters, numbers, symbols. Generated by my password manager. No way someone compromised my account. Thanks, Reddit.

I moved from Joplin to Obsidian and am very happy with the move, but it's not FOSS

That article just says he's still employed with the department, it doesn't mention whether he's been suspended or if he's still performing any job functions. Anyone have a better article?

You can still buy it in print. It's $1215. https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-oxford-english-dictionary-9780198611868

I was too young to watch Moonlighting when it was on TV, so I never knew Bruce Willis as anything other than an action and drama guy until he was on Friends for a few episodes, and then I thought he was out of place.

Outstanding. Ya know, I was actually starting to not hate that guy this season, and now he blew it.

So I could get some and just release it literally anywhere there are people, at least one of whom would inevitably call the fire department and they'd come out and waste a bunch of resources looking for non-existent propane? Huh.

I am single with no children. Having no reason to switch to a "normal person" schedule on my days off, I simply don't. Combine that with blackout curtains and I don't have many problems. Occasionally I need to engage with a business who for some God-awful reason insists on doing work before noon, and those days suck, but otherwise I'm good.

This looks quite promising, thank you! I'll be trying that.

I will look into that, thank you.

If I ever come up with something, I'll let you know.

Interesting, the one time I tried Nextcloud I was using the AIO version, maybe it'll be slightly less onerous to use the other one. I may give that a shot. Thank you!

I may have to try that one. Just looking on the website, it doesn't explicitly say there's the possibility of emailed event reminders, but it does say that there's an integrated client so it seems like there's a possibility. Thank you!

I checked out the documentation for that, I can't find in there anywhere anything about e-mail reminders for events. Additionally, it looks like setting up recurring events (like monthly bills or repeated appointments) isn't possible. It seems more like a business booking solution than a personal calendaring thing. Thank you though!

Yeah, I've tried most of the servers listed there. None of the servers have email functionality (beyond invitations). I haven't found a client that does either. I understand that Thunderbird used to have it, but doesn't any more. Strange that an email application can't email. Hahahaha.

Any coding is well above my skill level. Thank you, though.

Unless I'm missing something, there doesn't seem to be any functionality for email reminders either on the server side or client side for them. I tried Etesync once, although it has been a bit.

Oh, isn't that interesting. I already run a Pi-Hole but I had never thought of doing that with a custom entry. I suppose that would work, wouldn't it?
I really dislike that everything in this thread is pushing towards Nextcloud after all. It seems like it should be easier to get email reminders. It should really be somewhere in-between "use Google" and "run Nextcloud and buy a domain name and use a custom piece of hardware to run your own DNS server to which you have to add even more customizations to be able to run and sync the Nextcloud suite, most of which you'll never use."

It looks like I'm gonna call that my "second to last resort." I'm not a programmer or developer of any kind, and that looks pretty intense for me.
I'm trying to de-Google my life and self-host more. One tricky point with me is calendaring. I can get a CalDav server running and syncing with my Android phone without much hassle, but I haven't yet found a server or client that can send e-mail reminders for events, rather than just pop-up notifications. I've been told to try Nextcloud. I tried installing it but it's overkill for me, and I don't want to deal with setting up a domain. Surely there can't be exactly one CalDav option that can send email reminders. But I've never heard anyone say anything other than "Nextcloud."
I'm looking for a community where discussion about the Lemmy software itself is discussed. I have a feature request and although I can't see any such request on the Lemmy github, it seems nearly impossible to me that no one has asked for it yet. I want to chat about it with other Lemmy users before determining if I'm way out in left field or not.
Have at it, folks! I've created this community here because there didn't seem to be such a place on Lemmy yet, maybe we can have some fun like they do on Reddit and the dispatch communities on Facebook. Post anything for now I guess. Stories, memes, requests for help with CADs or other resources, polls, whatever, until this community gets some traction and then maybe we can focus more.
I've been seeing a dog food ad that includes one of those pads with the buttons that talk, I was curious to hear about them from people who actually have them.
When creating a lite app either by hand or with the pre-made app for www.walmart.com, opening it in Hermit returns "The requested URL was rejected. Please consult with your administrator" instead of the Walmart homepage. I'm guessing this is due to something on walmart's end, but maybe it's a Hermit issue. Does anyone else get the same result, and is it fixable? Thanks, all.
