    Right now it's ruby. I've just started to learn it and so far it reminds me a lot of python, but I find the syntax to be more natural and easier to use.

    If only there were more libraries. It seems like all the niche stuff is on python by default.

    Depending on what you need, git sorta has build pipelines. Git hooks can run scripts before a commit, push or merge is allowed. I use it for building my website and sending it to the host

    Beeper bought the integration from this project, I would assume Apple patched it

    I've had Wallsocket on repeat. It's somewhere around hyperpop rock opera? Really interesting themes with great characters, it explores their individual trauma in a fascinating way

    Garam masala, there's enough regional differences where you pretty much always have to mix it differently for each dish I've been using this reddit thread for years

    Skiff has 15GB (shared between cloud storage, like proton) with 10 addresses and 1 custom domain for $3/month. There's a couple higher pricing plans if you need more domains, storage or addresses.

    I'm pretty wary of those claims, considering they made the same claims with protonmail before the incident. My bad for not including it in the first reply.

    Proton isn't afraid to give user data away if the police ask for it, something Mullvad doesnt store in the first place.

    For a pihole you probably won't need it, but for a web server I'd recommend some form of passive cooling. Aluminum cases can work pretty well.
