But I can see this app being quite useful in a pinch. I’ve used it once or twice to reboot servers, and trying to train myself to do command line on a phone a bit more efficiently-it’s definitely an acquired skill. He was using prompt identify the attacking IPs, block ranges, reboot servers, etc. I was blown away, so I got the app. This is a bit more geeky then the other two, but when I was back in Virginia last month, watching Tim mitigate a DDoS attach on one of our servers with his phone over dinner was amazing to me. The final application I purchased recently* was Panic’s Prompt 2. One of the things that appeals to me about Airmail is it exemplifies the lightweight mail app that uses all kinds of API integrates with other services to enable you to push and pull from a variety of spaces. It even looks like you can directly connect your email attachments to your own server via FTP, which is interesting.
I also like that it integrates with all kinds of services. So far I have been very happy with it.īeing able to cleanly separate my various email addresses in one app was crucial, and the on-boarding of a Gmail account was dead simple. So, Tim recommended Airmail 3 because it’s fairly stripped down (no calendar program) and can manage various accounts seamlessly.
Airmail mac essentials plus#
I was missing mail tagged as spam in the original Reclaim email account, plus trying to manage several Gmail accounts through various browser tabs was getting old. But I’m finding I need some separation between the various accounts. I have a few different emails I am using now, (more on that anon), and I want to start pushing my to something like That said, all my accounts are run through Gmail, and until now I’ve forwarded Reclaim’s email to using external SMTP servers to reply with the address.
The other big move for me recently has been going back to an email client. As an added bonus, it protects your shit online, the importance of which should be increasingly clearer every day, if it wasn’t already. It’s almost like putting on your seatbelt before you drive the internet highway 🙂 I found it has given me a sense of comfort and coherence with managing my online life I haven’t had before.
Airmail mac essentials password#
In fact, I have already written about password management as ground zero for digital literacy. If I were giving workshops on campus right not, I would start there. The added benefit is I now have strong passwords that are almost all different, and a pretty extensive inventory of all the services I use online-a useful reclaim exercise in and of itself.
I was kind of forced to go all in because it was impossible to run Reclaim Hosting’s server infrastructure securely without it. For the Previous 15-20 years I dealt with this by using a few variations off one password, but those days are over. One of the things that was always painfully clear from teaching ds106, was that the hardest part for many was keeping passwords straight, the rest was just plain fun. I was so sold on it that I immediately created a family account through 1Password to start consolidating and organizing my family’s digital life. Teams allows you to copy, move, and share logins and credentials across vaults, with differing permissions. And recently Reclaim Hosting finally jumped to the Teams feature in 1Password to manage our growing empire. That said, using a password manager for the couple of years has changed my life. I’m not much of a productivity tools blogger, and in general I’m a slug when it comes to anything resembling workflow.
