One benefit for me that wasn’t immediately apparent is a custom email, paired with something like proton mail and simple login I turned it into a catch all.
It’s fantastic. Company asks for a email, sure. Walmart@problematicpenguin.org. Now, I can sort anything that arrives to walmart@ right into the spam box. Doesn’t matter what address they’d send it from.
Fucking. Brilliant.
Joplin organizes my life. Without it, I’d be lost. Like, for anything.
What size tires do I need to swap my bike? How did I configure my samba shares? How do I setup VFIO passthrough? What’s the name of that guy I hate at work? (Fuck you, Nick) How much did it cost to have the tree in my back yard removed? Can I see the invoice?
All these questions I can lookup and solve using my Joplin database. Without Joplin, life gets way harder.
See, I keep reading that. Idk for sure if it’s because I use a custom domain, but no company has rejected me yet. Closest I got was a, “Is this a real email address?” “Yes” “That’s so cool! How is your email mydumbcompany@problematicpenguin.com?”
