I don't know that postfix was ever considered lighter weight in terms of CPU and RAM resource usage, but rather that its configuration file syntax was easier to understand, layout, and better documented. And more easily extensible with pipelined mail filters.
It's not just self-hosted email that's dead, it's email itself. The federated system where clients and servers exchange messages according to well-defined standards doesn't exist anymore.

Most clients now special-case Gmail because they have all but deprecated POP and IMAP.

Push notifications, essential for seeing mail "in time", are a proprietary, inconsistent mess.

Receiving servers use all kinds of voodoo to determine whether a message is acceptable to them, much of which is powered by proprietary software and semi-secret block/allowlists.

Attachments are barely usable because Outlook uses a format that many other clients don't understand.

Large providers have hardcoded logic for marking messages from "trusted" senders like banks and online shops, so some senders are more equal than others.

Meanwhile zero meaningful progress in decades to address the protocols' basic shortcomings like lack of encryption, replies that don't involve sending hundreds of pages back and forth, ...

I'm sure that it's at least partially for them to have a better negotiating position with NVIDIA. But the reality is that Tesla actually has some very good expertise in chip design. Jim Keller worked there for several years and along with Pete Bannon designed their Autopilot HW3 computer which is in 1+ million cars right now. At the time that HW3 was released it outperformed what NVIDIA had to offer. That said it's not likely they'll be able to beat NVIDIA, but they may be able to beat them for their hyper domain specific use cases. Additionally NVIDIA chips are difficult to get and they're extremely expensive. Even if Tesla can get something that performs 80-90% as good as NVIDIA but at significantly lower cost then it may still be worth it.

All my coworkers are on other continents, covid didn’t change that, I see no difference in how I interact with them.

> Even 35mm was marginal in quality

35mm is great up to an 8x10 print. It'll do 11x14 if you don't stand too close. It's 30mp+ of optical resolution.

The thing to remember is that at the time, nobody was scanning, they were doing optical enlargements directly onto printer paper, with 6-element macro-optimized process lenses. That's a much higher-quality optical path than you get out of almost any scanner - drum scans and high-end CCD scans (flextight or similar) can get there but even midrange CCD film scanners struggle with 35mm and your average flatbed photo scanner doesn't stand a chance.

Nowadays digital has entirely displaced this flow - even at a photo lab you will most likely get prints made from scans. And they're much lower quality than contemporary prints would have been.

If they're B+W, try wet-printing those 35mm negatives sometime. Find a local college darkroom and get someone to walk you through split-printing on variable-contrast paper on one or two of your photos. You'll see.

https://www.guidetofilmphotography.com/split-filter-printing...

https://www.35mmc.com/27/04/2020/split-grade-printing-darkro...

But yeah medium format is incredibly easy to produce usable scans, by comparison. With top-end gear you can get just as much resolution off a MF negative as 35mm - you can do optical enlargement to several feet or even a yard+ on the long edge. But it's way way easier to get something usable for a 8x10 print or something off a MF negative than it is 35mm.
You say that Tesla might do this for others, AWS style.

I can't speak for everyone but I've been working from home my entire career since 2002. I don't feel like my co-working relationships were any worse than any other co-working experience I had at jobs that required my presence (teen jobs like grocery or video production jobs prior to me getting into software). If anything my WFH relationships were stronger and I still keep in touch with them to this day. Plus I feel that they are more diverse as my co-workers are all over the globe so I feel like I learned more about different cultures than I would have taking an office job.

Additionally if I am bothered by someone or am generally not interested in them, it's far easier to avoid them in a WFH setting. My interactions with them can truly be limited to only whatever it takes to get the job done.

That said, I recognize that working this way isn't for everyone. Some people need to breath the same air to feel a connection with others. I have just never needed that.
Yes. It sucks.

I haven’t found a solution.
> But how much time do you spend dealing with that? Is it worth it?

Oh not much now -- to be honest with you 99% of the time when it's an issue it's because I changed something on my side.

Maybe I got lucky with the IPs I have (I use dedicated servers), and I've held them a while. What was jarring about the original post by Carlos is that he did all that AND he's been doing it 23 years and it was still a problem.

It made me recall that one of the things I struggled with a long time ago was just setting up Postfix/Dovecot correctly. These days no one should be running into that.

> I self hosted my email for more than a decade but I gave up when the time spent was just too much.

Unfortunately I don't doubt this assessment. I just want people to know that if difficulty/technical work was a blocker, it is now mostly not (with the news software out there).

As other people pointed out, there are services for improving deliverability that could fix the other (bigger) issue, and hopefully people could consider doing that going forward.

At the end of the day people have to do what's right for them of course but I just want people to know that things HAVE gotten easier. It's the big companies that are making it hard now.
Once EV's become mandated for all new car sales, I fully expect new laws requiring rentals w/parking to provide EV charging facilities. They already require things like toilets and proper bathroom/shower ventilation, it's not particularly new ground to force landlords to jump through such hoops.

Tanks are low all over this area. I went by the lake over here the other day because I read it was less than 60% full. There are boats in their docks 10' above the water which is more than 50' from the dock in some spots.

I understand the topsoil. I don't have much to lose. That's why I'm in the process of taking this place to full native grasses and plants. My topsoil is less than 6" deep over 80% of my place with solid fossiliferous limestone more than a foot thick under it. The limestone outcrops on all the slopes. I mow twice a year at most so that everything has ample opportunity to go to seed.

When the mesquite yellows and drops its leaves in the summer you know its hot. Mine lost 80% of its canopy this summer. The 5.5" of rain we've had in the last couple of weeks is regenerating the trees now though. I have some I've planted nearly 20 years ago that are still under 10' tall. My elms were brick red last week but have now started to drop the dead leaves and sprout new growth. That's a good thing since more than half my trees looked dead. I lost most of my live oaks to oak wilt so I can't afford to lose more of them to drought.

I am surrounded by cedar, live oak, and elms with hackberry, bois d'arc, and hercules club too. There's lots of spots for birds here and they still hunt them on the land behind me, deer too. My spot was farmed for a long time and after I bought it I have been killing off everything non-native. My main focus now is on stopping the bermuda grass. It's a slow slog. It took me nearly 10 years to get rid of the Johnson grass but I finally dug all that shit out and clipped the seedheads so now I'm finding less than 10 new plants annually, all sprouting from old seed. I pick a grass or weed and concentrate on eliminating it every year. Restoration by hand is a slow process but the squirrels have returned, crows visit every day, roadrunners nest in the privet thickets, there's a fox and a bobcat that meander through pretty regularly too. It's in much better shape overall.

Did the sunflowers not set seed at all or are they just stunted? Even my lantana was dead up till the rain and now it has all sprouted and is trying to set flowers like the sage. The winter birds depend on the lantana berries for food on the coldest days. I was pretty happy to see that pop up.

Good luck to you with your place! We're still way behind normal but it all came together just in time to give it all a chance around here. Maybe mother nature is just stringing me along.

>without anyone on those services knowing I’m using an XMPP client

Slidge acts in a way that (should) make it impossible for your contacts to know you are not using the official app. However, since some services are OK with alternative clients, Slidge does not necessarily tries to hide its "identity". For services that are less tolerant about it, I wrote a quick documentation page with advice about how to avoid triggering their "security" alerts (mostly because they'll see connecting from a data center, unless you host at home): https://slidge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/low_profile.htm...

Group messaging is definitely the next big feature I want in Slidge. There were part of Slidge's first iteration, but I decided to postpone them since it was too ambitious for a start. I really want direct messages to work well, and the code to be maintainable enough before I (re)implement groups. You can help by setting up slidge on your server and bug reporting. ;)

I can't really respond to this without restating the arguments already made earlier, but ask yourself this: isn't it an odd coincidence that this appraisal of the situation on your end is absolutely ideal for the employer?

- It leaves little possibility of advocating for better conditions, even if these might be straightforward to obtain

- Makes it more likely to expend additional energy for the employer due to a moral abstraction as opposed to a material or social/societal need

- Assigns high moral worth to the employer by virtue of their ownership and higher class. The employee can't merely sign a contract, but must also practice additional gratefulness in favor of the employer

- Could potentially lead to monitoring and reporting other workers based on the abstraction of dishonesty, at no material or social gain to either worker involved or any clearly identifiable societal improvement

The employer makes far more money, their relationship to work is completely different, they own at least a significant part of the company, belong to a higher social class, and yet both your worldviews regarding work coincide neatly, and do so specifically in favor of only one person in the equation.

We could transpose this to a hypothetical Victorian worker. They could say that they are privileged to work 12 hour days because they could also work as a literal slave. That they should show extra diligence for the employer because that God-given hierarchy is natural and wholesome. From our vantage point, this mindset sounds absurd and the result of internalized oppression, but a hypothetical worker of the future could very well look at us now rejecting the 4 day workweek the same way we look at our predecessors justifying child labor and black lung.

They are clearly confident that FSD will work, to the point of promising it "this year"...

coincidentally, they've been promising "this year" for the last 7 years. And FSD still fails in spectacular/hilarious/horrifying ways, and isn't _remotely_ close.

Permanent residents are a class of non citizens who have the right to permanently reside in Australia. Most cannot vote.

All of it can be done online through their portal. The Australian government spies on everyone anyway so using the portal presents no increased attack surface for anyone who would care.

Prototyping in C
This is a very low effort blog post on this subject, I'm not sure it is adding anything new to the topic and just feels like the same sort of low quality blog spam that shows up at the top of Google search results instead of a high quality introduction to the subject.

Its mentioned in the article, but what I find neat about multi-objective optimization is that (for a certain type of well behaved problem) the "solution" is not a single point (0 dimensional) like in normal optimization, but is N-1 dimensional where N is the number of objective functions. So if you have 2 objective functions the best solutions all lay on some 1d curve and if you have 3 they fall on some 2d surface and so on. This is called the Pareto front and Wikipedia has some nice visualizations[1]. It is then left as an additional exercise to pick out the best solution to your problem from the Pareto front.

A common example from engineering is optimizing for strength and weight. You may want an airplane wing to be very strong and very light and the Pareto front represents the best solutions for at a given strength/weight and then you can use other information to pick a particular solution.

> Nuclear doesn't help here at all because Japan is not allowed to make fuel.

Allowed to make fuel? Who is gone stop them?

> Nuclear is dependence on one of the handful of countries who are.

I'm sorry but that's nonsense.

> Also it doesn't solve portability at all -- my money is on something like sodium ion, but a cheap compact hydrogen canister solves the problem too if it doesn't use exotic materials.

Portability. Energy generation is best done mostly locally. For portability you have simply connect each local area with the one next to it and you dynamically shift north or south in Japan.

But for the most part demand is predictable enough for this not to be needed, and beyond that you can use price mechanisms and other things as well.

Just put 1 reactor down for each X people and its totally fine.

> Nuclear capacity is the most expensive thing you can build.

Given that there is very, very little storage on the global grid and lots of nuclear its not clear this is true.

And you assume that nuclear must always cost some huge amount, but if you are a country that is mass producing nuclear reactors (specially modern ones) at large scale, its not actually true.

Marginal cost per reactors goes down quite a bit even with PWR and if you would build modern GenIV reactor its even less true.

> Cheap long term storage is the only thing keeping niches that aren't solar + wind from disappearing entirely

The reliance on the grid to balance out solar + wind unreliability was always a hidden subsidy in most countries.

And you act as if 'cheap long term storage' and 'only' should be in the same sentence. Not sure what you mean with 'long term' here, do you mean 6hours or 6 month?

If its less then a few month, I wouldn't want to live with it. A single major even such as a volcano could have a major impact when you relay on a storage.

> So making the thing that is limited by being too expensive and unable to run in hot weather more expensive and less efficient in hot weather is a step up?

You clearly don't understand how air cooled nuclear works.
given that most people are salaried employees I think the accurate description is, "is this the end of your employers ambitions?" which also explains the sometimes accusatory tone that's implied when these changing attitudes are discussed.

Opting out of the rat race to have a little bit more time for the people you care about is of course not the end of your ambitions but the opposite.
Almost everyone on my team joined after we went full remote - one thing that has helped a lot is 4 hours of "mob" pair programming per week. Basically a time where anyone who has something interesting to talk about, or a problem they are stuck on can share their screen and get input/help from the whole team.

It has really helped getting people comfortable with each other, as well as being a shockingly effective way to solve tricky problems and get new people up to speed.

Personally, I love WFH. It gives me a freedom to work (or not work) as I please and my company is kind enough to simply look at my cleared tickets and not hassle me further. It also gives me a lot of time to do research and continually explore which has led to a lot of career growth for which I'm very grateful

But what I do lament is that it's very difficult to guide and mentor rank newbies. After a certain amount of push, we hired a few kids right out of college to be able to give them guidance. A couple of them flourished and grew but there are stragglers. One in particular has personally given me a lot of grief and I really wish I could meet them in person so I could guide them as my mentors guided me. A lot of the time, text and voice conversations just don't express ideas well enough. I don't think it's wise to deny that we are a species which has learnt to communicate through cues, gestures and other physical contexts and all of this is lost now. Messages that are meant to educate can sound mean and demeaning and I have to constantly think over ways to express concerns and suggestions in a way that won't discourage my mentees. A smile, a shrug and a few words of reassurance and encouragement go a long way. After all, most of us are constantly learning and there's no shame in ignorance as long as you ask the questions

I am quite worried about the silos we've erected for the new folk who need the help to grow. Some of them will manage but I fear that a lot will be left in the dust with little recourse
