Yes and no. I accelerated my relocation based on COVID. I have been planning my move from the second largest city in my country to a small hobby farm. After spending COVID locked in a tiny apartment, I pulled the plug and started the move.

I personally don't think of Jamstack sites/applications as being 100% static. The core nature of the Jamstack is the ability to extend functionality with APIs/microservices (jamstack.org have a diagram example: https:/&

I use the Jamstack to some extent at work (Gatsby and AWS Lambdas). I think it's an interesting technology stack with some excellent use cases (and a fair amount of hype). I also use Wordpress for serveral small/mid sized personal

Fair point. My current setup for email storage is three fold: * Fastmail's servers (30GB included). * Local laptop. I have imap setup to automatically grab new emails, which are stored in a local email client. * Automatic backups to s3

Probably not ideal for a non-tech example, but I love the improvements made to VS Code over the last 3 years. Plugin support and Azure integrations are insanely productive and nice.

I had something similar happen a few months ago (dead phone and no access to my backup email). In the end, I had to put my simcard into a new phone and verify. Sorry I can't be of more help right now with the access issue. But, some ad

I'm using a custom domain and a paid email provider. My rational is to align my interests with the company running the infrastructure for a fundamental component of my digital life. Free email is fine most of the time. Until it's

Agreed. Own your domain and store your email content locally (or at least have backups locally if you love the provider's web interface).

Sorry for the late reply. andrei_says_ seems to have reached into my brain and answered your question perfectly. I don't think I would change my approach when using a third party tool. The personal downside of giving potentially harsh

Oil rigs have surprisingly decent Internet access (and it's free for workers). My father works on off-shore rigs in Western Australia/PNG and has a higher up/down link and lower ping than I do at home. This has been the case

I managed to get myself temporarily locked out of a 10+ year old gmail account 2 months ago. I managed to get it back easily (finding my old phone sim and resetting). But it was a traumatic experience. I signed up for Fastmail that day and
