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.
@stb running a Mailserver is a big opportunity for learning!
Did it professionally, then setup my own stack, now using MailCow and it does an amazing job.
Currently in progress of moving all my accounts away from Gmail, which is very tedious.
If anything, people should always use their own domain! Or you will susceptible to #enshitification and a hard road to get away from. @pluralistic makes this point very well.
Meta said in a statement: “This feature aims to strike the balance between protecting people from seeing nude images and educating them about the risks of sharing them, while not preventing or interrupting people’s important conversations.”
Translation:
Emperor fires tailor, after fitting session revelations.
Hmmm, @cloudflare are depreciating auto minify in August because of dropping amount of usage - “since minification is included in most modern web development frameworks.”
So my carefully crafted hand built sites on Cloudflare will be slightly slower because they don’t use a ‘modern web development framework’.
Just came up with a new analogy I'm rather proud of: LLMs are digital compost heaps. They decompose whatever you hurl in and turn it into artificial excrement.
Also I'm moving from StackExchange to Codidact. If I'm going to do any more unpaid labour it's going to be for a not-for-profit, rather than a for-profit company. Feeding that work into a digital compost heap is the push I needed.
Sorry, I had to procrastinate more by making a detailed sampling of the Facebook timeline shiteousness. I understated it. Scrolling through 102 postsafter a refresh the breakdown was: 3 from my follows, 79 "suggestions",19 ads, 1 reels item (this time just once but often that comes up multiple times). Worse, posts from my follows only occured in the first 10. The suggestions started off not bad but then got horrible. Ads were universally garbage. Thank god for the fediverse! #fediverse#facebook#enshitification
If Apple starts sending all my fucking search, messages, photos, files, etc. data to Google or OpenAI I'm done with them. They are my compromise platform because I hate adding to the Google/Facebook style data reseller big tech data lakes. I honestly don't know what the alternative will be at that point besides having to hobble my experience with /e/os, LineageOS, whatever, self hosting services, etc. and try to figure out a work around for banking apps. Motherfuckers! This is so enraging. I have a feeling I better start getting my ducks in a row to depart their ecosystem sooner rather than later. #rant#apple#ai#enshitification#BigTechShouldNotExistmacrumors.com/2024/04/26/apple…
Between Windows 11 "reportedly display[ing] a watermark if your PC does not support AI requirements" [1] and cramming ads into the Start menu [2], I'm really not looking forward to having to update next year [3].
