@helgeg I’m having fun with it 😊. I can’t promise anything about how frequent the newsletters will be though!

@johnjohnston Thank you!

@helgeg @maique Blot is amazing.

@johnjohnston I loved Posterous too, and I’m really enjoying this frictionless setup, and the way it feels like writing a letter (which is what gave me this idea).

@cygnoir Thanks!

@helgeg love the photos!

@petebrown I’ve seen other people report it too. I’m sure it will get fixed!

@helgeg It’s a classic album.

@bsag Hmm, for some reason the image shows on my blog but not the timeline. It’s Song of the Stars by Dead Can Dance. 🎵

@maique Yay! I’m glad it is working for you now.

@twelvety Sorry! 😁

@maique @gpittman That’s frustrating! I was previously forwarding mail in to Fastmail, not out from it, so I hadn’t come across this problem.

@maique I think you need to hook it up both ends: forwarding from Fastmail and then setting up details of the address you are forwarding into HEY within HEY. Then you can set up SMTP too in HEY if you want that. I’ve written ‘HEY’ way too much 🙃

@ridwan Yes. That’s the disadvantage. But being able to link them so you can see them together or separately works really well and helps you focus on what you need to at any one point.

@maique @jack that’s what I do, and it works well. I initially tried it with one account but you can only have one name associated so I needed to separate my bsag account from my personal (real name) one. In the end it felt easier and cleaner that way anyway.

@peterimoore Difficult to say I think. If you’re happy with the set up you have now, stick with it. If not, you could do the 2 week trial of HEY and see if you like it?

@jack @devilgate I’m starting to get that feeling already. I like the way that the things which seem a bit eccentric to start with end up making a lot of sense as you use them.

@devilgate I worried for a while about the non-standard nature of it and how opinionated it is. But I was in a mood to burn everything down and start afresh, so... we’ll see I guess! I do really like the choices they made, so that bodes well I think.

@ridwan I can understand that. I did have to stop and think about it, but I do already pay for Fastmail, and when you think how important email (still) is, paying for a great service that significantly (for me, anyway) eases and simplifies dealing with email, is well worth it. I was also able to stop my SaneBox subscription, because Hey covers what I was using that for. It depends a lot on the volume of mail you get though.

@BestofTimes Great shot!

@jack @Alligator A rabbit hose is the nightmare offspring of a firehose (of information) and a rabbit hole (ditto). Beware the rabbit hose! 😱

@simonwoods @jack That has become our swear of choice in my house. We love FND.

@helgeg That’s a stunning photo - the colours!

@jack Noted. Right now Roon keeps ‘forgetting’ about two of my endpoints (a known 1.8 bug) and I have to restart the Core (software only) to be able to see and select them again.

@jack Thanks, that’s helpful. I will mull over whether I can justify the money. Though I currently spend way longer at my desk than in front of my fancy hifi setup in the living room so...
