    I have a filter that checks for “Fwd:” and immediately trashes it. If you cant be bothered to format even the subject line, you’re a lost cause. Cut down significantly on useless shit from my parents especially.

    I have like 150 other filters that sort messages into folders, trash others, and immediately permanently delete others. My inbox now has 1-5 messages in the morning, and usually 1 or 2 throughout the day, vs the like 25-50 daily. Having unique email addresses for each recipient is great too, since if you unsubscibe from some garbage and it doesn’t actually unsubscibe (fuck you, AT&T Business), you can just blackhole it and it’s gone.

    I prefer email to texting or calling, since there’s less expectation of a rapid response, but I got tired of getting so much garbage all the time - and I was already actively trying to keep my inbox clean 15+ years ago.

    Yeah, I tell my friends to use pcpp for drafting builds, although the component list is not great for older stuff, or for server gear (I just rebuilt a server, and while they claim to list Supermicro boards, mine and variants didn’t show up, while it is a standard micro atx). So trying to research what to build around, say a mobo and cpu that you grabbed from a thrift shop, can be hard if you don’t know what specs and compatability to look for. For new typical builds though, it takes a lot of the confusion and worry out of it for new builders.

    A few years ago now, I used pcpp to draft a friend’s first pc, get funding for the project, and then helped the friend + father from box to boot (and way beyond, but) over a video call, and the most either had done before was replace a gpu. Booted first try, too.

    Legos! :D
