  • Right now I have 3 sources:

    • mate drinks like Mio Mate (found in Germany) and that’s 100 mg a bottle which is all I’ll have a day unless I’m really feeling it (so max 200).
    • black coffee which I hand grind and brew via aeropress. Just one cup normally. I don’t have any idea how many mg that is but it feels as fast as the mate although maybe anecdotally weaker.
    • loose leaf tea, which I brew once or twice a day, using old leaves from the day before (if I’m on a streak) and a splash of new ones (unless it’s the first day where it’s all new). Feels slower but lasts longer so maybe it’s more caffeine? I guess it depends on if I’m doing black or green or white etc.

    So I’d guess 100-150 mg on average on days where I’m having caffeine. I try to do long breaks between a couple weeks of having it. So like a week or two of drinking caffeinated drinks and a week or two not having it. Not too stringent but just something I’m cognizant of to not get dependent.


  • Because from what I can tell Matrix isn’t a good Discord replacement. I’ll spin up a server just to trial it, but every person I’ve talked to who isn’t already on Matrix and every thing I’ve seen or read says it’s not a discord replacement, it’s just a chat app.

    Stoat and Fluxer can be self-hosted which is my main desire. Something fully under my control, with my data security, that won’t rely on another service to keep it running (although naturally I rely on the code base being maintained, hence donating as if it was a paid product).








  • No one should be surprised that the Liar Merz lied. He’s been lying since I’ve known about him (only a couple years) and I’m told he’s got a history of lying. Conservative governments want to hollow out their countries for personal gain, no one should be surprised.

    Stop cooperating with the parties that only want to worsen your standard of living. I don’t care if they say they care about the economy, I don’t care that they plead to supposed reason or security. They’re liars and conmen. They will destroy Germany if we let them.

    Cars and car infrastructure cost far more than trains and public transit, we can’t allow conservatives to rob us of a wealthy nation that can afford to serve it’s people.



  • 1.5 months. It’s a worse flagship and it’s roughly priced accordingly. No major limitations or pains, although because of the privacy stuff knocking out google programs by default I’ve had to troubleshoot an app or two to get the onboard settings right.

    I’d recommend it to just about anyone except for maybe a grandma. Phones are largely set it and forget it though in my experience so even then it’s a bit of getting every app loaded and set up and then never worrying about it again.

    For instance lieferando I haven’t gotten working but nearly every other app was pretty simple.




  • I just swapped from proton to mailbox.org and I considered tuta heavily.

    I chose mailbox over tuta because:

    • tuta didn’t allow third party clients like thunderbird. Given I jumped to proton from Gmail and now mailbox from proton, I wanted to decouple as many systems as possible if I had to jump again.
    • mailbox, if I’m remembering correctly, had better encryption properties except for their calendar. Tuta has an encrypted calendar, and now I’m looking into a self-hosted calendar system.

    I think I would still recommend tuta to like my mother or something because it’s very clean and easy to set up and good enough. I’d recommend mailbox.org as a slightly harder alternative if you care about your calendar being encrypted.
