Idk if latex is optimal for note taking, or if others will warm to it if forced, but overleaf is obv collaborative though not selfhosted.

I’ve liked Outline https://www.getoutline.com/ and while I haven’t used it collaboratively, it really highlights that it’s a primary goal. It’s supposed to be a collaborative/dynamic wyswyg wiki thing. You need a SSO service like authentik or authelia for it, it doesn’t do login. But that’s good for security anyway!

Holy shot never thought to test used cast iron of unknown provenance.

You can def strip it, the lead contamination is in the seasoning but it’s not gonna get into the iron. Buuuut sanding that down will be a hazmat zone. I’d bunny suit/sealed goggles/P100/sand on plastic sheet cause that’s gonna be the worst case for lead dust. Idk if it’s worth it.

Check flurospec if you have some extra disposable cash for better lead tests https://www.detectlead.com/, I wonder if the types of tests you used turned red due to interacting with iron or something (unlikely but possible, they incorrectly react sometimes and it’s red so monk brain wonders…)

My gloriously unionized USPS workers are hella pissed that I continue to write “no longer at address” on mail for the umpteen people who have previously lived where I am now. I will occasionally get mail with “or current resident” underlined many, many times because it was misdelivered and that person sent it back, and they think I tried to “no longer address” it I guess.

I lived in a newer development a few years ago and they didn’t care about names there either. Sad to hear new-new is different.

Overall, if your USPS just wants to jettison mail at an address, using a fake name is great. I get spam for shit with a fake name and I can see who sold my info (and ditch them). I get emails like “Shitbob Jimbo, we stole your identity and hacked your email and computer and it’s joever for you, believe us because we know your name.” Little do they know I’m really Jimshit Bimbo and forever elusive

I’ve lived in several states and USPS doesn’t care about your name. They want your legal name written on the mailbox (and will usually write it down if you don’t when you move in), but they will deliver to any ass name. I’ve used fake names for everything ever for a long time now and only had a problem once with an international shipment. You can mail random ass name to random ass address and they’ll put it at the address.

If USPS fails to deliver an international item that requires a signature, you need to show ID if they don’t try to redeliver. And your name must match or they won’t give it to you.

In my case, it was something that didn’t require a signature and even had a “no signature required” sticker on it from the sender because they do that enough apparently. And the USPS didn’t try to deliver it cause I have a cam. So the USPS person just gave it to me and told me to not fuck up again on international shipments and that was that!

In short, fake name good at all times except on international orders that require a signature.
