I have a raspberry pi running postfix. I Realised unless I open port 25 I absolutely cannot receive emails (I have 587 open and can send but not receive them). However I heard there are scaries online which someone could potentially send emails from your server without consent. I believe as well my ISP doesn’t block port 25....
Avoid being an open relay indeed. Some background information : www.postfix.org/SMTPD_ACCESS_README.html#relay But with the defaults in postfix you should be fine unless you made a lot of changes and made a mistake in it.
If you manage to get a good SMTP relay host or authenticated SMTP account for your outgoing email then playing around with small scale self hosting email (Granted that it is not your important daily driver email accounts) can be an interesting and fun experience. But you will have to invest some time reading and tweaking and figuring things out. Slightly comparable with installing Arch Linux. Lots of people will warn you to not do it but you might learn a few valuable things on the way there.
Is anyone free to help the developer of sway notification center out?

Because it’s decentralised, we don’t have an exact total. Based on data we have about the largest ActivityPub platforms, particularly Meta/Threads, it’ll be between 170-200million users by the summer of 2024. Ghost will be adding tens-of-millions more to that total.
Are you working together with anyone else on this?
Yes! Our friends at Buttondown are also building ActivityPub support right now, and we’ve received kind offers of help from teams at Mastodon & the ActivityPub spec authors.
Hello everyone, with the unfortunate passing of the FISA expansion, I was left with a few questions. I tried to research it, and to me, it seems like they are beefing up surveillance with routers and ISPs (correct me if I’m wrong.) Aside from having businesses stalk you when you use their WiFi (connected with ISPs.)...
And if that’s the case, should I just always use a VPN? And furthermore, shouldn’t you have always used a VPN prior to this anyways?
No idea about these USA specific things but always using a VPN would mean that you need to trust your VPN provider more than your ISP and your government. There is only one commercial VPN provider that I trust and one non commercial one. But then there is Tor, and the slower i2p. You also have to take into account that VPN blocking appears to be increasing. For all kind of shopping on-line and filling in forms for government related things (Things like let’s say e.g. request money support for a wheel chair) I cannot use VPN because they’re blocked or worse : time out. And I found out that lemmy.world likes to block Tor and VPN for posting and uploads. Reading is allowed though. So all in all you have no smooth sailing guaranteed.

This is DeltaChat desktop client but not with the default Electron. Compile instructions for Debian, Arch Linux and openSUSE. One Linux distribution has this packaged : NixOS, package name kdeltachat-unstable. The software developer is also active in the DeltaChat forum. Posting this here to give this project some more attention...
I’ve compiled kdeltachat yesterday and it is different from the default Electron based Deltachat desktop app. At startup it immediately shows a big configuration screen inviting the user to fill in email address, SMTP port and a lot more text fields. The default Deltachat app looks polished and much nicer for “normies”. Ignoring and closing that configuration part and it looks like a simple Qt app without much colors so I guess it the app is a work in progress. Maybe I’ll provide some screen shots later.
Compile it yourself! File a bug report with the software developer! (I’m just the messenger of this post) I’ve shared the web link of the project for people who dislike having too many Electron based applications on their computer, like people using older hardware. You may be fine with the Electron based one, screen shots of that here : delta.chat/en/

The government modified the regulations again, substantially loosening them, and Bernstein, now a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, challenged them again. This time, he chose to represent himself, although he had no formal legal training. On October 15, 2003, almost nine years after Bernstein first brought the case, the judge dismissed it and asked Bernstein to come back when the government made a “concrete threat”.
openSUSE has German origins, but was bought in the past by Novell in USA, then went into other USA hands, and then it was sold to a Swedish company’s German sub division, and located in Luxembourg. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUSE_S.A.
