Yes, my own mail server for 100-or-so domains with a few hundred users in total, which has been running in its current incarnation since around 2005 (and with 3 or 4 different setups before that, going back all the way to a UUCP node in the early 1990s). The number of domains/users is probably a third of the high-water mark, since many users have migrated to cloud solutions by now, but traffic is still quite significant, with most users having been onboarded long before anything more fancy than Hotmail was a thing.

Mail deliverability has, with some minor exceptions, never really been an issue. These days you need SPF, DMARC, and of course a clean outbound IP reputation, but that's all rather manageable -- biggest deal is setting up strict filtering and rate limits on outbound messages, plus ensuring mailbox passwords can't be brute-forced (complexity rules plus blocking abusive IPs).

The only real recurring issue is people setting up forwarding to gmail.com/outlook.com/whatever, and the target service then becoming temporarily upset due to all the 'spammy' messages being sent: DMARC helps with that up to a point, but not perfectly, and directing users to reverse the mail replication direction (setting up gmail.com to pull, not my server to push) is a common chore.

For the current setup, the biggest headache was finding software with an acceptable webmail and domain setup self-service web interface. Next up was shared access to large mailboxes, Outlook calendar support (which just really can't be done with only CalDAV, even though that should be possible), and (believe it or not) getting 'Drafts' folders to sync across devices.

If the registrar is reputable, and you're not using the domain to do stuff that's widely illegal, and you keep paying, the risk is virtually zero IMHO. I have used many domains over many years, since before registrars were really a thing, and I am even a (tiny) registrar in one market.

Like most complex things, there’s no one magical simple answer.

States rights was a huge deal from day one, to the point that the mostly forgotten original government of the United States was a confederation of nominally sovereign states, almost EU style. Under the Articles of Confederation, the US government was very weak.

Slavery was essential to southern land barons. It was not essential to northern industrialists, who were better off with immigrant labor. The issue at the end of the day is that Southern wealth was largely defined by chattel slaves - they were the human equivalent of industrial equipment. End of the day, it was about amoral consideration of preserving wealth above all else. (A lesson for any era certainly)

The problem was that the writing was on the wall - machines would replace slaves. But the owners of these big slave estates needed the political power to keep it going long enough to pivot to something new — the vision as I understand it was to build the west with slavery and realize imperialist visions with slavery in Latin America.

Wrapping this craven nonsense in high minded ideals was key for support and to get soldiers. Johnny Reb wasn’t dying for his slaves, for the most part these guys were victims of slavery in a sense as well as the wages for working class people were suppressed by enslaved people.

It’s important to fight lost cause bullshit. But the path to victory is rejecting the notion of slavery attacking the moral failure of slavery and association with it. Bikeshedding over trivia is like arguing with gun nerds over the nuances of firearms.
I don't host my own email server, though I'd like to give it a go one day, even if just as a little sysadmin "adventure".

At the moment, I use the really good Migadu Micro plan.[1] It has very nice limits for the $19/y price (half if you're a student like myself), with a pretty lax and understanding policy. They also care about standards and make an effort for you to configure your domain with all the right records. Even their support was pretty fast and helpful, even in this plan where it's best effort.
I am completely satisfied by their service and recommend it to anyone wanting more control over their email, but don't want or can't run their own server.

I've heard great things about FastMail as well.
In the end, I think services like these are a great compromise between independence and convenience.

Did it for 5 years with mailinabox hosted on a cheap 3€/month vps on OVH with a custom .de domain. But I had severals issues in this time e.g. with mails coming from Office 365 Mails. So I switched 3 months ago to mailinabox.org along with my custom domain. Also paying just 3€/month.

Yes, hang out with elementary school parents (mostly moms) and you'll quickly get an earful from those that do. It seems more like anxiety with many of these folks.
This is simply wrong from every angle. The government isn't stopping anyone from using TikTok, they're stopping people from using it on devices the government has purchased and maintains. You're free to have your own device and watch whatever you want with whatever app you want.

But moreover, the constitution has exactly zero language that says "you can't pass a law to block apps on government owned devices for legitimate security concerns unless you block every other app that might also be a security concern so that it's fair." in the same way that the first amendment doesn't say the government can't pass a law blocking pornhub on government issued laptops.

Hell, the government could simply say "too many federal employees are wasting time on TikTok" or "this is fucking with our VPN" or any number of other things and pass a law to block it. You have no right, as a government employee, to use your business device for whatever purpose you want. That's never been the case.
Five financial trends that 2022 killed
Ironic that most people I see or talk to have the reverse problems (myself included).
People will still see this as some sort of controversy or cover up, but this is the system working as intended and is a good thing. Small tiny conflicts like this, if not disclosed and dealt with, appear much larger and consequential when discovered down the road.
I think i was replying to a different comment, and accidentally placed it under this one.

Yes they work! Intranasal vaccines are how we end Covid. Intramuscular vaccines are mostly effective at preventing Covid from becoming lower respiratory but the proteins can still replicate in your nasal passage and upper respiratory system. But intranasally vaccination you can mostly prevent replication in your nasal passage and thereby prevent spreading upper respiratory viruses. They are more effective and essential to stopping Covid spread, we should have done them sooner but they're more expensive to make and ship and last a bit shorter shelf life wise.
By which metrics are human eyes outperforming “any camera that can be put in a car today”? This seems unlikely in almost any domain, given the much wider dynamic range camera sensors can capture - cameras can see into spectrum we simply can’t (infrared, UV…) and operate at much lower levels of light than a human eyeball while retaining full color vision using really cheap tech. They also don’t get tired or worse with age, or forget to wear their glasses, which is nice.

This strikes me as a pretty odd statement to make, personally!

“There is no real comparison” - for the benefit of the less informed, please make the comparison, assuming you are able.

Which is why I'm specifically criticizing the framing of the headline. It's celebrating a victory that hasn't happened. A better headline would be "Most of America wants cannabis to be legal, but federal law still bans it."

I think that implying that it's "legal" in certain places, which has happened repeatedly over the last decade, is part of the problem. If everyone thinks cannabis is already legal, then who is going to push for federal legalization?
Or if you're a shaman and the first attempt didn't go so well.
I’m quite the chatterbox and I love talking to strangers. Even if I will never see them again. I do it quite often. I feel it really adds more fun and meaning as I navigate through my little town, or the big city, doing everyday things that could otherwise be quite boring. So at least to me this article rings true.
This seems a little unfair, maybe unintentionally on your part. If you’ve been reading his blog long enough (and I don’t know the value of “long enough” since I’ve been reading so long) it becomes clear he situates new proposals and tools in into a ton of context - how he came to think this new thing would be useful. This involves discussing history. By necessity this disproportionately is his own professional / independent developer history. I find this approach generally refreshing and honest - most software emerges from a path dependent individual context but people tend to suggest they just developed the objectively best solution to a widespread problem. Dave tends to be more honest about scratching his own itch and the influence of his own history on how he approaches problems.

This approach can read as ego / bragging maybe, if you’re not familiar with it. “Why is he talking about his past projects so much,” etc. Well because it led into why he thinks the new project is a good idea.

Not to say he doesn’t have some ego like all people. He does want people to know for example that podcasts were a natural outgrowth of RSS, so natural he hand a hand in adding it himself despite not having an audio background. But his point is almost always that podcasting should stay open, not that he is some genius. If anythint he tends to encourage non developers (eg journalists) to be more involved in developing new standards.

(Also the “fixation” on blogs without titles is about the fact that RSS the standard is perfectly capable of carrying Twitter type items without titles, since it only specifies either a title or description as required - but feed readers mostly assume titles which has encouraged a heavyweight high effort concept of what a post is, to the advantage of closed platforms like Twitter and to the disadvantage of the RSS ecosystem. I think he has a very good point on this. These details matters. That they are “background noise” to many users - well so are most important technical details. Try getting most users to understand the difference between transport and end to end encryption for example. )
The basis of the (edit: theoretical) free market is full information for all participants, which requiring more information on the label is helpful for. The problem here is they won't allow "may contain traces of X" as a valid acknowledgement, despite being easy to understand.
> One of the newly available GTK applications is GNOME Web aka. Epiphany, which is based on a very recent version of WebKitGTK. This provides an unfortunately non-native but largely functional web browser for Haiku for the first time in many years, with “just works” status for major websites like YouTube and others.

I was really waiting for this! I want to install Haiku in an old computer for an old lady friend to use (and for me to see how she will use it). They only problem always was that youtube never really worked. That is the chance!
Do it again?

I’m resigned to the fact that no matter what, someone out there will insist that I misrepresented Christianity (as if it were obvious how to correctly interpret the Bible), that I “did it wrong,” that if only I could’ve read books XYZ or tweaked my epistemology then I would’ve reached a different conclusion.

Staring into the abyss involved putting my life on hold, basically doing nothing in my free time but reading and talking with friends and mentors. I read a pile of books from Dawkins and Sagan to NT Wright and Dale Allison. I stopped when, after 18 months, I realized that the next step would basically be to get a degree in New Testament studies.

It’s not an experience I’m eager to repeat, especially since the probability that I’ll reach a different conclusion is vanishingly small.
From the article(and a comment): From the table the vehicle was stopped and struck on the right side at the time of the accident. Not quite sure what ADAS has to do with it, unless it is FSD Beta and put the vehicle in a dangerous position which seems unlikely.
I don’t know why people assume FSD or autopilot is some kind of magic. Same as seatbelts statistically speaking they will save a lot more lives than they will claim.
I read it as the only "legitimate" point is to hide it from the general public. As people with more resources will be able to figure it out. If you view that as legitimate is up to each person to decide. Does the value of trying to hide it from the general public have real value or not. In general the answer might be no.
Mail on OVH, standard services (IMAPs/SMTPs without strange setups) on my domain to avoid anti-spam issues and have less to maintain at home; homeserver who suck all mails via getmail, autorefile (some) via MailDrop and index them with notmuch. From clients (desktops, a laptop) muchsync over ssh. Planned but not there a WebUI on the homeserver where I'm on the go and I need to search something in my maildirs.

In general I suggest NOT to chose providers offering "safe" services, the more safe/privacy protected etc they claim to be the more likely they do not. What it count is:

- having your own domain, so you can switch from one provider to another NOT change you mail address, all your contacts will not notice the change;

- having mails accessible with standard protocols so it's easy to grab them, for instance GMail IMAP is crap, Tutanota do not offer standard protocols, you are essentially bound to them, Proton offer JMAP witch is NOT proprietary but still not much spread to have a good support and so on;

- having you mails on your iron, you can sync them with OfflineIMAP and nothing else for mere "live copy" on a home server and eventually back to another IMAP if needed;

- if you can USE them with a personal MUA, no matter if a WebUI or TUI or whatever but something local so in case of trouble on the upstream you are still partially operational and if you change the upstream provider you keep your usual UI.

All the above are from very easy and cheap to moderately easy and cheap (at least in absolute terms). Other options might be far less easy and less cheap.
It ended up being about slavery (with the Emancipation Proclamation), and slavery was the root cause for the hatred between the states. They were also very different societies. Almost no immigrants moved to the South, for instance, and there wasn't nearly as much industry.

As another thread points out, if slavery was prohibited in all the new states from the West, it would be game over in Congress, and the slave states knew it. Hence the Kansas-Nebraska Act.

That said: "save the Union" was a much bigger motivator for Union soldiers than "abolish slavery." That's what made them volunteer.

For the Southern soldiers who mostly did not own any slaves, it was more "defending our homes and our way of life" than "states' rights."

In other words, it's more nuanced than you present.

The Dems explicitly did not make legalization a notable part of the 2020 national campaign. They focused on making the campaign a referendum on Trump in general and COVID in particular. This was a good strategic play.

My comment is that making the 2024 election a referendum on legalization (and a few other big issues like abortion) will likely be the good strategic play. You could imagine a future, though, where they go ignore legalization and focus entirely on abortion and other issues.

But they would risk getting outflanked on legalization by a more libertarian-minded Republican, which could cost the election due to reducing turnout of young and disillusioned voters who would otherwise go Dem.
I want to but don't yet. Maybe a personal knowledge system approach? Currently it all goes into mostly unsorted bookmarks or Safari tab groups.

Their requirements have gotten pretty insane. I have a couple of old Gmail accounts I used for low-priority stuff (signing up for forums, mailing lists where I might get spammed) and they are both now locked out for "security reasons". I have strong passwords, correctly provided the previous password, have the recovery email, but I jump through all the hoops just for them to tell me to F off. And these are 10+ year old accounts with no issues! Thank goodness I don't use Gmail for my primary email address, I moved that ages ago.

Kids need extra protection since they can’t weigh risk and don’t understand how the world works. So I understand if my daughters can’t have peanuts in elementary school if their classmate has a real allergy.

But policies go above and beyond that now. They bar peanuts even if nobody has an allergy. Other places bar peanuts for self identified allergies (which cannot be confirmed 90% of the time by a doctor). That’s just bad policy driven by litigation fear.

It’s a trivial claim, advanced without evidence. There’s no reason to believe that a human could drive a car based only on those limited visual inputs. Humans use all our sense to drive.

And even if it were true, so what? Last I checked Tesla didn’t have software which can perfectly emulated a human agent.
Still - cloud password managers are built to upload your data to the network and it's much easier to smuggle something, when keepass apart from maybe update check doesn't have any network activity. Someone would spot it pretty fast and that would be instant death for the project. On cloud solutions it may take years to be found, as demonstrated here: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/06/mega-...

That being said - bitwarden is pretty transparent in what they do, compared to the competition and I'm seriously considering giving it a try (but with self hosted backend).
Curious what service you are using, as site for mailinabox.org does not exist.

You may also try to go on some sort of podcasts if possible in a way to confront those people, as it seems to work these days.
By "processing", I specifically meant to exclude roasting. As far as I'm aware, coffee beans are generally roasted in the country where they're consumed. Roasted beans don't stay fresh as long as green beans. I meant the processing that converts cherries into dry green beans.

That processing always occurs near the place it was grown; cherries don't keep. The pulp has to be removed. That can be entirely mechanical, or it can be by fermenting. There are different ways of doing the fermenting. Then someone has to pick over the beans, to sort them for quality.

This is just what I've read; I'm no expert, I'm just an interested consumer. And @tsingy, I imagine you've read a lot more than I have; but you seem to have misunderstood my comment.
I don’t want to discount your experience here, but it seems unlikely to me that what happened followed ordinary medical prioritization.

It’s tricky to relay over a short internet comment the full experience and context - for example, hearing the phone calls the couple made to family/hospital, the full conversation the nurse had with us about priority, or the missing detail that my wife had pre-eclampsia. I guess we don’t know with 100% certainty, but having been in the situation, I’d say there is a 98+% chance that the status/wealth of the couple directly influenced how soon they were given a bed.

(Sorry to add facts after the original comment; I wanted to avoid writing something too lengthy but I can see how these details may have been necessary).
Yeah, nothing easier than a study to prove anything you want.

"Brexit to blame for 33B loss" when at the same time we had Covid related slowdown and lockdowns, politicians replacing one another, and the situation in Ukraine and its impact on global gas and other supplies...

In any case, the British GDP is 2.6 trillion pounds. 33 billion pounds is a statistical error. To put it in perspective, 12 billion pounds were the cost of the useless one-month fest of the London Olympics...

Even the "British Economy 5% smaller than it would have been without Brexit" they get to (which is much worse than a 33 billion pounds loss), is akin to charlatanism to claim, what with the unknowns of covid and current ukraine situation thrown in...
