thank you for the reccomendation! seems like a very useful website :)

yeah, I’ve been really hoping for smth that works with thunderbird. thanks for the perspective :)

also just found out thunderbird’s mobile app is out now

aegis gang represent

how is mailbox.org? I’ve been considering it, but I just haven’t quite pulled the trigger

It’s not just the controversy, but I’ve been planning a re-do of my internet services for a while now, and this seemed a good time to ask around, given others are likely doing the same

You could probably go through your email contacts list to find ones connected to services, which can help you track down ones you can’t recall otherwise.

additionally, https://haveibeenpwned.com/ could help you find any accounts that have been involved in data breaches, which could help you find a few extra.

I’ve not heard of diceware before. How is it? I personally use a combination of password managers and short phrases which I encrypt using a specific method in my head.

Maybe I’ve just been skimming over things, but doesn’t the sub only really provide guides for sizing? Personally, I’m asking for advice on material, and being able to appraise pieces that will have a longer lifecycle, y’know, sustainability and cost effectiveness and all :)

also no, you will not be forgiven

I’m trying, okay, I am!

Oh, no, I can access it, it’s just that it seems to include a map of auctions, but due to not being in the US, visiting them isn’t really an option.

I generally try to stay pretty terse in regards to information, but I think that leaving it general could be quite helpful, as it would invite a larger diversity of reccomendations that people in future could benefit from.

is there a difference between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ military surplus stores? the ones I’ve seen appear to be replicas, or clearly not local surplus, which causes me some concern

thank you for the clarification :)

seems a useful site. shame it’s US-only by the looks of it, though.

How are they for high temperatures?

truly? huh, TIL. Guess it isn’t quite so versatile a tool tho :P

guess that’s the real fault with enshittification, huh? thanks for the advice for picking through things!

do you have advice for finding stuff on ebay? when I try it tends to seem like a lot of ‘not what I searched for’ listings

I kept the post pretty gender neutral because I wanted to contribute to making a kind of ‘psuedo masterpost’ on the topic, and am hoping to invite a large swathe of experiences (goodness knows lemmy needs some haha)

A problem for me is I’ve always been too stingy to experiment, as your friends have, though I’m hoping to change and develop from there, but am hoping for advice to help narrow things down

kinda wish i had a swiss army knife now. will a woodcutting axe suffice?

I’ve heard bamboo can be good. How is your experience with them in extreme temperatures?
