Don’t forget waking up hungover, checking the time, and seeing you still have 3 hours to go in a loud metal tube.
This is really it. I’ve been working remote since well before 2020. If my office were 12 minutes away by bike I’d be there every day. Having an entirely separate space dedicated for work is great, actually! Especially if your team is all there too.
But when I first went remote it was 90 minutes by car, and half my team were in other countries. Going remote gave me 15 hours per week of my life back. There’s nothing you can do to convince me to give that up again.
I used to self host email and got sick of my emails never getting through. Email is federated in theory, but pretty centralized in practice. Paying for Proton was definitely worth it.
Yep. I want to federate and block who I want to federate and block. Large instance admins need to make compromises for practical reasons, but I don’t. My personal instance has no boards, so I don’t have to deal with problematic users from other instances either. If an instance is particularly awful, I can just not visit them until I have time to switch to my admin account and defederate it, there’s no urgency.
Plus, I thought it would be easier to get my friends to switch if they had an admin they could literally call if they ran into problems.
It was a good answer anyway
