Running your own mail server can be fun, and it is important for an open Internet. But it can also be quite challenging: securing your server, filtering out spam, and having your mail accepted by others is complicated. To get better at it and help others, I'm getting "Run Your Own Mailserver" https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mwlucas/run-your-own-mail-server/ from @mwl, an accomplished writer.
@flauschzelle
I have a (paid) mail account with another provider for services that provide the infrastructure for my own accounts for that reason. You do not only need to still be able to communicate with the providers, but also need to access the "sorry emergency downtime" mail to know what actually happened before you lost access to your mails. As it doesn't need many features or large storage, it doesn't have to cost much.

Wenn der erste Schluck alkoholisch schmeckt oder Schimmel drauf schwimmt nicht. Sonst normalerweise ja. Vorsichtig anfangen zu trinken, man merkt es dann schnell.
@publictorsten Das Problem ist der Preis. Ich kenne Leute mit Glasfaser, die einen 60 MBit/s Tarif gebucht haben, weil der 100er Tarif schon zu teuer ist.
@publictorsten
Im Vergleich mit DSL-Preisen würde ich sagen, dass bei Glasfaser 500 MBit/s für 40 Euro und 1000 MBit/s für 50 Euro für den Kunden fair wäre.
@publictorsten Ich habe auch keine Ahnung, warum ausgerechnet E.ON Glasfaser (neu) verlegt. Ich hatte vorher noch nicht einmal gewusst, dass die überhaupt Internetanbieter sind.
@pluralistic There is one option that would be really useful: Force fair access to models. This may even mean that every model should be open source. AI models are a great thing, as long as you control them yourself. Companies gating models behind APIs, charging a large amount of money for something they made from free data, and restricting what users are allowed to do, are not. As of now it looks like models are also not copyrighed, but that does not help as long as companies keep them private.
Schade das der Maintainer des Debian-Paketes nicht ansatzweise die Funktionalität eines Passwortmanagers verstanden hat. Meiner Meinung nach missbraucht hier ein Paketbetreuer seine Kompetenzen. Letzlich schadet er mit seiner Vorgehensweise Debian insgesamt als Linuxdistribution.
transferring what we have learned about AI writing in the academic world:
the excessive presence of automation in a creative domain is always an indicator of staleness creeping in.
and when art culture has gotten so stale that a machine can indeed do an artists job (from the perspective of art consumers), then the entire culture needs fixing.
my prediction is that eventually, the same colors, faces, poses and style will satiate boredom & foster appetite for something that stirs the shit again
@lritter
Machines will be tools (again).
Ask an LLM "write a story" and the whole content depends on an arbitrary random seed. Use your creativity to instruct the LLM to write the story you had in mind and you get your idea, but with the writing skills of an LLM.
The same is true for image AI. A prompt on midjourney will never result in your own image, but SD with its detailed control and editing tools can, because it doesn't promise images by magic but provides a tool that is used by a person.
Was derzeit überhandnimmt: In Anzeigen wird ein Produkt gezeigt, das überhaupt nicht existiert -- etwa ein revolutionärer Treppenlift. Wenn du klickst, dann kommst du auf eine Webseite mir Links zu Werbung zu ganz gewöhnlichen Treppenlifts
@rothschopf Hmm, komisch. Ich habe hier gerade keinen Ubuntu-Desktop vor mir und es kann sein dass das grafische Tool update-manager-gtk oder so ähnlich heißt.
Auf der Konsole müsste do-release-upgrade das Gleiche tun, aber das nutzt dann keine GUI.
It's made for WordPress but the idea is so dead simple that it can be integrated in almost anything with some work (if nobody else did that work already :D)
@bekopharm
I've had this on some sites for years. It doesn't even need a script to detect adblockers as one can just serve the message as image from ads.yoursite.tld/ads/ad.jpg and every reasonable adblocker should filter it.
