Yes you can, but the exact process is lost on me as I haven’t used Thunderbird in ages. It should be able to export your mailboxes into a standard format (is it mbox?) or if it’s only a few specific emails you should be able to export them individually as .eml files.

I absolutely love doing everything on the computer and can’t stand writing things by hand anymore. I’ve always learned simply by listening — instructors that force students to take notes were the worst because I would be too busy scrambling to write things down than actually listening and learning.

All of this goes out the window when it comes to foreign language though. I have to do everything old school: textbooks, pencil and paper, and if it’s a non-Latin character set I have to write the same characters over and over for hours.

My negative outlook on life pushes friends away so I don’t have that problem.

I’m always like “who the fuck uses Instagram?” I guess I’m living in a different world entirely.

Yep, as a web developer I hate this too. C’mon now, how hard is it to get this right?

As a web developer this grinds my gears. It’s dead easy to fix this.

Am I missing something or can you just get around this by not having it on the Internet? Like you could just start shuffling a bunch of flash drives around.

I’m genuinely confused what you mean by that. What do you mean by that?

Right? Why the hell would anyone think this? There are a lot of articles lately like “is AI alive?” Please, it’s 2025 and it can hardly do autocomplete correctly.

For my personal setup I’ve been wanting to do it on a VPS I have. I route my traffic through a bundle of VPNs from the US to Switzerland and I end up needing to clear browser cache often (web developer testing JavaScript, etc) on my end devices.

each site hosts their own copy of jQuery or whatever the kids use these days

I do this in my projects (Hotwire) but I wish I could say the same for other websites. I still run into broken websites due to trying to import jQuery from Google for example. This would be another nice thing to have cached.

I couldn’t get SSL bumping in Squid on Alpine Linux about a year ago but I’m willing to give it another shot.

My home router is also a mini PC on Alpine Linux. I do transparent caching of plain HTTP (it’s minimal but it works) but with others using the router I do feel uneasy about SSL bumping, not to mention some apps (banks) are a lot more strict about it.

This very much bothers me as a web developer. I go hard on Conditinal GET Request support and compression as well as using http/2+. I’m tired of using websites (outside of work) that need to load a fuckton of assets (even after I block 99% of advertising and tracking domains).

macOS and iOS actually allow updates to be cached locally on the network, and if I remember correctly Windows has some sort of peer-to-peer mechanism for updates too (I can’t remember if that works over the LAN though; I don’t use Windows).

The part I struggle with is caching HTTP. It used to be easy pre-HTTPS but now it’s practically impossible. I do think other types of apps do a poor job of caching things though too.

Directories on a 32-bit Windows OS running a FAT32 filesystem?

Because I thought the two were one and the same.

An Indianapolis based bankruptcy attorney, named Mark Steven Zuckerberg, is suing Meta over repeated confusion with CEO Mark Elliot Zuckerberg.

That’s far less crazy than the clickbait headline had me believe.

I was targeted because my personal information was leaked by a bunch of Bitcoin exchanges that ended up being shady and going out of business (between 2012-2016). It got to the point that I just bought a new phone number and the calls went away.

And/or the story in its entirety. I haven’t heard of this at all in person (physically in the US) but this story just won’t die online.

Yeah, this is never helpful. I end up just opening in Apple News because I pay for it despite Edgesuite giving me an Access Denied due to my VPN. It’s all a big mess.

I’ve worked at McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, and Taco John’s and out of all of them McDonald’s has the most efficient systems. As long as management follows the policies it should be easy to run a McDonald’s. Keep in mind this means a lot of stuff is prepared ahead of time: tomatoes, onions, etc. are pre-sliced before it ever reaches the store (Burger King and Wendy’s are more “fresh” in this regard).

Wendy’s was pretty good too, but Burger King had the worst setup I’ve seen. The restaurants are just not set up for efficiency and it doesn’t take much to start having long wait times.

Isn’t that his job?
