    My ankles and feet have been swelling at night and naturally doctor google has let me know I have heart failure.

    I’m looking to use a custom domain to set up an email address. Really, I’ve got a couple of questions:

    1. How do you come up with a good domain name? I don’t really know what I want it to be - I feel like “[firstname]@[fullname./com]” looks a little strange myself, but I can’t really think of anything else. Does anyone have some good examples or general ideas?

    2. Assuming you own a domain, which email provider is best to use? I’m leaning towards Proton Mail at the moment, but I know there’s some others out there too like Skiff and Fastmail. Any personal recommendations?

      I bought a domain from cheaper domains, connected it to paid ProtonMail and turned on Catch-All emails with the SimpleLogin Proton plugin thingy. I love it even more than I thought I would, I just make up a new email for everyone (I don’t need to create the address in advance) , and can turn them off individually, and will know who’s leaked my info because the address will be jbhifiwankers@mydomain.org or whatever.

    One day I should time myself putting fresh sheets on the bed. Put on the fitted sheet, lie down and stare around the room, minor existential crisis, possibly proceed to top sheet & the rest.

    Any ideas of places to buy a secondhand copy of Hogwarts Legacy PS4 (other than eBay or FB Marketplace of course)? I want to play it without buying it new as I don’t want to give money to a transphobe.

        I don’t really appreciate your snide comment. As one single human being, I have limited power to influence change. As a consumer, my options are to use my purchasing to support causes/companies who are doing good. I also actively avoid (as best as possible) giving my money to companies/people who are doing harm to the planet or its inhabitants. That includes people like Rowling who use their platform to harm vulnerable people. I had a lot of respect for her up until she started gunning for people who are just trying to live their lives. I’m not canceling her, I’m just not giving her my money.

          There’s a difference between following a movement and doing something from your own conscience. Cancel culture is a movement that you follow.

          Grow up, switch off whatever app you followed and make your own decisions of conscience.

    “First class” on the Melbourne <> Sydney XPT fucking sucks. I paid extra expecting comfort, a table and power points just like the photos online but what it is in reality is similar to economy airline seats which recline a fairly long way, which the bogan in front of me has used to its fullest the entire way. No table (besides flip down trays on the seatback which I can’t use with bogan reclined. No power.

    Seriously considering hiring a car and driving home after the cruise.

      Yeah, long distance trains here are unfortunately not great. The main plus is leg room but unfortunately there’s moderate chance you’re stuck behind a bogan so you don’t get anything. The lack of power outlets is shocking. Last I was on the XPT was in 2010 and only up to Canberra, I honestly preferred driving.

      The trains are OK for distances like Syd<>Canberra.
