I use borgbackup to a NAS on the LAN. I then use rclone to copy the repositories to a Google Drive that happens to be unlimited because of the subscription of my previous university. :-) Luckily my account persisted when I left the uni.

Had a quick look at openSUSE and KDE these days. I think about switching from Debian and Xfce. Because of a stable rolling-release distribution and easy to setup feature-rich tiling window manager with kwin-tiling.

I have been using the command line for all type of work for years now. The most satisfying is to realize that there is always more to learn. And once you grasped the basics, they fit together like LEGO bricks.

While I think it's important to make that argument, the posted article and the one it refers to lack some guidance on how to reach "command line mastery". I recently came across this great resource here on HN:

https://github.com/jlevy/the-art-of-command-line

It gives great overview of the toolbox you have on the command line. Equipped with `man` you're ready to optimize your everyday work. And always remember to write everything down and ask yourself WHY something works the way it works. The interface of the standard tools is thought out very well. Getting comfortable with this mindset pays off.

File an issue and discuss this or commit a merge request that includes the options you think are missing.

While I'm with you politically: If a narrow perception on gender was a reason for not using a specific software, I probably couldn't use any software at all.

AFAIK, Microsoft, Apple, Google and others don't give you more options in this regard either. So I find it quite harsh to abandon a small project like this but accept what you get from bigger companies.

I administer all my domains on eurodns.com. They offer a decent service for a good price. Bonus: They use open-xchange as their mail backend, so you profit from a great web client.

An account with 10GB for mail plus 10GB for cloud storage with unlimited aliases costs about 3€ per month.

I mainly use their service for family mail. The only downside is that passwords of mail accounts cannot be changed individually in the web client i.e., I -- who has the account at eurodns -- as administrator have to set the passwords.

I'm not affiliated with them. While the solution is not perfect, pricing is OK and domain service provider plus email hosting is done in the EU, which is the most important point for me.

I use Netlify for two websites/blogs. It works very well and is pretty fast (they feel faster than the example blogs promoted at the Blot website). It's for free as long as you don't need extra features (that you really don't need for a simple website).
