Peak of the Perseid meteor shower coming up!
  • The dates in the article seem to say that is for 2023.

  • Proton API, does one exist?
  • Thank you for letting me know!

  • Proton API, does one exist?

    Proton does not currently offer CalDAV or CardDAV services, however there is a highly modular platform used by many large companies that allows for simple integration into third party authentication services: Baikal, backed by sabre/dav.

    Does Proton have a published API that could be leveraged for authentication? sabre/dav already has a plugin for IMAP, but of course that can't put targeted to Proton. Many services offer access to their IDP these days, I'm wondering if there is a service like this from Proton as well?

    Somewhere in Michigan last week.... First time backpacking, second time camping in a hammock
  • How do you like the hammock? I’ve recently picked up hiking and went hammock camping once. I loved it despite a torrential downpour that night.

  • C O L O N I Z E
  • Everyone loves a good toilet mushroom

  • My New Win 98' Gaming PC!
  • The mismatched optical drive is truly icing on the cake here.

  • legs to die for
  • You can hear them run on tile.

    I wish I didn’t learn this information first hand while trying to be nice and catch one to put it outside.

  • A Triceratops femur (left) compared to that of an African elephant (right)
  • It’s amusing when you can say “human for scale” instead of banana.

  • Woodspider [OC]
  • I upvoted this because I respect spiders and it’s a good picture. I am commenting because I hate spiders and they are scary.

  • What is a product that you won’t accept a generic alternative for?
  • I had the opposite experience. Though 15 years ago was around the time I worked at a computer shop and I recall quality between the two comps flip flopping. On a side note, that was also the era of Asus capacitors failing at a surprisingly high rate.

  • What is a product that you won’t accept a generic alternative for?
  • Heinz ketchup, Hellman’s Mayonnaise, Coca Cola, Western Digital hard drives back when platters were a thing.

  • Meet Statler, a 33-year old fruit bat. His caregiver helps him "fly" around since Statler is too old to do it himself
  • This was the nicest thing I’ve seen all day! Thank you for sharing. :D

  • Enjoying the simple things
  • Thank you! I was able to briefly live vicariously through your eyes! I’ve recently grown a great appreciation for the serenity of being outdoors—especially in mountainous wooded areas in my case.

  • Ford poised to fire all ~10,000 striking workers in Louisville, Kentucky and Sharonville, Ohio Plants
  • Please forgive my ignorance here. I absolutely support folks fighting for better pay and benefits, but why on earth did they refuse this?

    The company’s Oct. 3 offer featured:

    • Product commitments for every UAW plant in America
    • No job losses due to electric vehicle battery plants
    • Profit sharing among all employees
    • A full ratification bonus
    • 26% pay increase for all temporary employees
    • Conversion of all temporary employees with at least three months of service to permanent status
    • More than 20% pay increase for permanent employees
    • Inflation protection in cost-of-living allowances
    • End to tiered pay so all employees can reach the top wage rate
    • A reduction (in half) of the time it takes to earn the top wage
    • Income protection for permanent employees
    • Increased 401(k) contributions for permanent employees
    • Up to five weeks paid vacation, an average of 17 paid holidays per year and two family days.

    Every single one of those bullet points sounds like a pretty massive win, even individually, then you combine them all together and it's the best benefit plan I've ever even heard of in the US. Granted, I am not a benefits manager and never have been, so I suppose I don't know what is generally available in the US. But many of those individual benefits are leagues above anything I've ever seen.

    EDIT: I read the article rather than the post. So I assume the above points are not being given to plants planning to be built?

    Standard Savings Account: Moving money around?

    First time poster! Outside of my retirement account provided by work, I'm just beginning to get brave enough to move other money around. I'm very late to the game and pretty scared of gambles.

    There are many high yield savings accounts out there right now. Outside of the 6-withdrawl/month restriction are there any things I should be aware of? Do people hop between savings account regularly to keep up with the highest interest rates?

    UFB Direct is on the top of many charts. Backed by AXOS bank, but an Internet bank. I've put some cash there but still nervous. Any thoughts on UFB Direct and Internet banking in general? I don't necessarily need a brick and mortar. I think I've been to my local bank less than a dozen times in the lifetime of my account.

    Please forgive me ignorance!
