No one compares You stand alone To every record I own Music to my heart That’s what you are A song that goes on and on

  • I haven’t tried going that far in one run. But I’ve used buses fairly often to get to other cities.

    changing buses 2 times in 2 different non English speaking countries

    That alone would make me not want to do it, unless you were in a country like Japan or the Netherlands with decent pubic transit and quality google maps support.

    are travelers allowed to eat in the bus? Am I allowed to bring my own food?

    You’re not supposed to eat meals on the bus. It doesn’t stop it from happening. It depends on the temperament of the driver. But don’t do it, the other passengers don’t wanna be suffering w/e smell on a long trip. But you can pack food and eat it at rest points. (if your route has them)

    but did you ever do something like this? Any regrets?

    My first time in a major city, I was too scared to ride the subway. So I took the city buses everywhere, I regret that. Changing buses in the rain, and discovering my ticket was non-transferable was a huge drag.

    Just know if you do, the local scammers know the stops and will try shenanigans. Don’t fall for the guy having a heart attack trick like I did. Pay attention to how the locals and fellow travelers are behaving.









  • Use what you enjoy. It’s a shame that someone needed to fork the project to support something that would be so beneficial.

    But this line ‘No warranties or guarantees of security or updates or even stability!’ personally would keep myself from using it.

    Browsers play a critical role in the security of your device and I wouldn’t feel comfortable letting a hobby project assume that role.

    That being said, it’s a common occurrence for forks to lag behind in security updates and ultimately your prerogative to accept that risk.


  • Avoiding spam filters and ISP blocks are a common issue with self hosted email.

    Ideally you’ll have a mature domain, dkim configured and an IP that’s not blacklisted on a network that allows email traffic.

    OVH offers pretty cheap email hosting if you just want a turn key solution.

    Otherwise if you want your home lab to work this way you may need to configure something akin to a forward proxy on a VPS to act as a gateway for your homelab.

    This could be achieved using wireguard and iptables. By routing the email traffic to your homelab.
