Since HackerNews itself use algolia, I think its safe to use it. And embedd can easily switch to official HN api.

I just saw that network.comments use internal api too for Reddit while it have a clean json API. I think it could be nicer for network.comments to be more transparent and to not depend on third party like network.comments internal api. In order to prevent servers maintenance and to give more privacy.

Imagine tomorrow, network.comments seduce every hackers on the world and have more than 100k blog are requesting network.comments/api server. You'll ask guys to install their own instance which is not your first goal to avoid installing stuff.

I understand, but comments.network js snippet will stop working if you stop your server (comments.network/api), which is a 3rd-party service. Am I right?

What about having at least one classical usb port?

What about giving at least one dongle when buying a machine at 1700$?

Fastmail android app is buggy and slow. Because of a bad app architecture (Corona, etc...).

Fastmail have CardDav + CalDav endpoints but android still not support these protocols.

I'm using Fastmail everyday and I advice you that if you are an android everyday user, to go to Gmail.

I agree that Dropbox is nearly same than Google for privacy but it can be a first step to split your data between multiple companies instead of giving all your data to Google.

I know it's totally not perfect, but is it logical?

I'm using Fastmail instead of Gmail. Smartphone app is not really good but you can use any other smtp/imap client. For android you can synchronize your contacts with "CardDAV-Sync" (carddav is native for iOS).

Fastmail offer contacts and calendars too. Which have a really nice web interface.

I'm still looking for a Drive/Photos alternative. Any advice?

It's like `python3 -m http.server` but in a language that is rarely pre-installed on systems with an external program that has two external dependencies.
