    Unsubscribe page that crashes when you try to unsubscribe
  • OK, but you're not saying that was your fault, right?

  • Selfhosting static site behind two routers?
  • Hey, I'm doing this now, using DuckDNS. But I had to forward a port thru Router 1, as you call it. That's your problem.

    Maybe Tailscale would help you? (I've not used it though)

    Or, instead of allowing port 80/443 traffic in, what I have is a random port used by my Wireguard VPN opened only. But I have to connect thru that when I'm not at home. I. E. only I can access my web server.

  • Unsubscribe page that crashes when you try to unsubscribe
  • My point exactly. Take my unsubscribe and act on it, people. Nothing needs to be on the page but that.

  • Unsubscribe page that crashes when you try to unsubscribe

    WT please fire your marketing people. I've received "specials" emails every day since the I made one purchase. Nobody needs that many floor mats. Trying to unsub, the page loads with so many trackers and other crap that it crashes because of my ad-blocker and DNS filter.

    I was able to make it work in Librewolf but this is the kind of thing that drives away customers.

    Sorry if we're spamming this community with too much Dead Pioneers lately. But they're my home town heroes now so not really that sorry.

    If you don't dig 'em, I would be curious to hear why not. Someone on the YT comments said they're the band a middle age dude wanting to relive their HS punk days would form, but I don't see that. If this isn't current / correct for right now, I don't know what is.

    This reminds me of the space pods in Neal Stephenson's book, Seveneves.

  • Good replacement for Google Calendar?
  • Man, I've read this like so many times. So... I just set it up and it's working a treat. I installed radicale via radicale-docker, got it confogured with my user, set it up in Thunderbird and install/configured Davx5 and Fossify calendar (via F-Droid) on my android phone. <phew>

    Docker for radicale (which is unofficial but they don't offer one, so...)
    https://github.com/tomsquest/docker-radicale?tab=readme-ov-file

    The only thing I might have to get used to is the sync delay with davx5. How often do you have yours setup to sync, if you don't mind me asking?

  • Good replacement for Google Calendar?
  • Same (till today) but then the only way you can access your calendar is in the Tuta apps, and then you can't share appointments with others, invite them, and so on. Bit of a limited option, unless your calendar security/privacy is really important to you.

    Pont Neuf, Paris - Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1872)

    Pierre-Auguste Renoir was a French artist who was a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style. As a celebrator of beauty and especially feminine sensuality, it has been said that "Renoir is the final representative of a tradition which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau."

    Pierre-Auguste Renoir was born in Limoges, Haute-Vienne, France, in 1841. His father, Léonard Renoir, was a tailor of modest means, so in 1844, Renoir's family moved to Paris in search of more favorable prospects. The location of their home, in rue d’Argenteuil in central Paris, placed Renoir in proximity to the Louvre. Although the young Renoir had a natural proclivity for drawing, he exhibited a greater talent for singing. His talent was encouraged by his teacher, Charles Gounod, who was the choir-master at the Church of St Roch at the time. However, due to the family's financial circumstances, Renoir had to discontinue his music lessons and leave school at the age of thirteen to pursue an apprenticeship at a porcelain factory.
