Hah. Our textbook market isn’t quite as captured. They run from $50-$350. I have about 100 textbooks and a bit under 200 books total.
I have a physical book collection worth thousands of dollars. The only party that has profited off me is Elsevier.

They deliberately removed code search for not logged in users almost immediately. Just recently they removed cloning without an account, so now updating my computer requires signing in to github.
They have been awful stewards.
Git doesn’t have a concept of a preferred repository; your local copy is exactly as valid to git as a git server hosted on github.
The originally intended workflow as I understand it involved generating patches which would be shared via a mailing list.
In practice there will generally be a repository that’s considered “canonical” for a project, whether that’s the one on the computer of the lead maintainer or some hosted solution.
A basic git server is essentially just a repository owned by a restricted user with SSH access granted to maintainers.. This can allow users to push and pull from a centralised or semi-centralised repository in much the same way as GitHub.

This is focused on multi-material prints, so you can easily split out your PLA and TPU etc. for recycling. Also good if you’re directly recycling into new filament.

My experience with Argon is looking up a Wikipedia page in response to this comment, but it looks like it uses a salt as an input?

I’ve been linked this review of email service privacy previously. Obviously everyone has their own threat model and you may not agree with theirs but I think it’s worth a read for services you may be interested in (or just the summary).
I’ve used Mailbox.org and don’t care for their interface at all, but it also matters not one bit as I use Thunderbird exclusively to interact with my mailbox, as you plan to. I haven’t had any problem with spam but I am very picky who I give that address to.
My personal opinion is that the provider should not matter - your address should be a privately registered domain and your emails should be end-to-end encrypted. Then your mail provider is little more than a forwarding server and the most crap one is not much worse than the best.
