Just heard of this website, on the news that Zig repo is migrating away from Github.

The choice: joplin for note taking.
The challenge: importing data from OneNote.
I've just got a 2GB data eSIM, one week into my stay abroad.
I hope the phone bill with my main phone provider is not too large.. π

Fiat = funny money.
Stealing that. Waiting for the perfect block to drop it. π

"Every generation thinks history starts with them.
That mindset? It drains our energy, blocks unity, and shuts down the powerful alliances we could build across generations.
Meanwhile, those who thrive on division quietly move into action.
Letβs not give them the space."

After researching IMAP custom keywords across different email clients and servers, I found the picture isn't entirely clear-cut. Support varies widely depending on your setup, and there's no one-size-fits-all answer.
My research and conversations with #Claude pointed to the same conclusion: custom keywords aren't reliably supported across the board. The recommendation? Stick with folder-based organisation instead, as it works consistently across all IMAP implementations and email services.
That said, I did discover some useful details. Thunderbird handles custom keywords reasonably well. It lets you tag emails with keywords in IMAP folders and will sync those tags to the server if your mail server supports it. If your server doesn't cooperate, Thunderbird stores the tags locally anyway, though other clients won't see them. #email
Work this week is a bit manic busy (in a good way). Looking forward to Friday eve π
GM. Rainy β, yes, but good. π
Oops, 3,200 Kcal... π
Added one more book to my reading π list: The Fourth Turning. Gm
Because one cannot have too many domain names, right? Right?! π
(reading about migrating away from a well-known email provider -- regardless):
"tags/labels may need manual recreation in the new system" π
Categories for emails, calendar events and contacts are all good and useful, but they are not transferable across email providers.
IMAP, the minimum common denominator email access protocol does not have a concept of thematic labels/tags/categories. Hence it's understandable that each email client has its own solutions (which doesn't map, obvs, to other clients).
It's not that I change providers often, but I was hoping things would've improved a bit since I left Gmail back in 2017.. GN #email #imap

This weekend I did some email *ahem* autumn cleaning. After achieving inbox π₯ zero and a reasonable folder & categorisation for the rest of my email, I feel like I've taken a heavy weight off me..
As a side note, most weekly "updates" or "things you may have missed" emails go unread. I had short of 2,000 of those. Such a waste of storage and bandwidth. #email
Virtue signalling puts me off.
This reminded me of subvocalization from Cory Doctorow's book "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom" π
