  • Have you tried self-hosting your own email recently?

    Jump

  • Lol. After professionally hosting email for 15 years I’m happy to let someone else handle it now.

    About 90% of incoming mail will be spam and it will be your job to make sure you are doing good job of classifying it so you don’t get junk in your inbox and don’t lose real mail in the spam folder.

    Then for outgoing mail you need to make sure SPF, DKIM and DMARC are all in order.

    Then there is all the usual stuff of security updates, backups, monitoring, alerting, logging and having a plan for internet outages.

    Yes, it’s all doable but I won’t expect it be “set and forget”. I expect there will be quite a bit of tuning with some possible spam and delivery problems while you get kinks worked out.

  • Garmin’s new power meter pedals look fantastic, but the price is far too high for me | BikeRadar

    Jump

  • $1,000 for pedals, ha.

  • Ubuntu Council corrects forum moderator's interpretation of rules relating to queerness

    Jump

  • Ubuntu has a diversity policy to explicitly welcome and encourage participation, mentioning that they explicitly honor diversity in sexual orientation among other things. It does not explicitly mention queerness.

    A moderator made a bad a call. It sounds like there may have been some confusion about the word queer used as a slur vs a self-identification.

  • I've tested bikes for 25 years and it's time we dropped rim brakes – here's why | BikeRadar

    Jump

  • Please do. It was a click-bait post.

    Rim brakes are often good enough. No need for them to “die”.

  • Trump administration drops defense of ban on employee 'noncompete' agreements

    Jump

  • Seriously, there are four negatives in the headline.

    Competition would be good.

    Non-compete would be bad.

    Banning non-competes would be good.

    Defending a ban of non-competes would be good.

    So dropping a defense a ban on noncompetes would be bad.

  • Ridley E-Kanzo: Taking Adventure Gravel Even Further with an Electric Assist

    Jump

  • Basically an ad. For an article that mentions “further” in the headline, there’s no mention of range I saw in the article.

  • The Quiet Revolution: GNU/Linux Crosses 6% Desktop Market Share—And It’s Just the Beginning

    Jump

  • I think that’s part of it.

  • The Quiet Revolution: GNU/Linux Crosses 6% Desktop Market Share—And It’s Just the Beginning

    Jump

  • 5% is 1-20 users.

    I doubt in my city that 1 in 20 people are using desktop Linux, which means there must be higher concentrations somewhere else, maybe in some corporate fleets or university labs.

    So where are the big concentrations of desktop Linux in the US? I’m not hearing more stories of big migrations happening outside of ChromeOS.

  • What in your country/area is totally normal but visitors get excited for?

    Jump

  • Fireflys.

  • Yes, you can store data on a bird — enthusiast converts PNG to bird-shaped waveform, teaches young starling to recall file at up to 2MB/s

    Jump

  • Ducks? That’s quackery.

  • Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward

    Jump

  • Microsoft is recognizing that their biggest threat to MS Word is Google Docs, a product they underestimated in the beginning as being a serious choice for word processing.

    Saving in the cloud means automatic backups and access from all your devices. Increasingly, people are willing to choose that over the real privacy benefits of local storage.

    Please don't promote Wayland

    Jump

  • Upfront they describe two monocultures and then a thriving diverse ecosystem and then conclude that the thriving diverse ecosystem is the unsustainable option.

    Yeah, Linux as a software ecosystem is complex and messy like a forest or the animal kingdom. It’s a feature.

  • Heroin is made from opium poppy seeds, so, yeah, a residual small dose of heroin in your blood looks like the same opium from a serving of poppy seed muffins.

  • protonmail blocks account creation through tor

    Jump

  • There is a relatively small number of shared Tor exit node IP addresses.

    So it’s more likely using Tor will trigger “too many attempts for IP” throttling for any service with bot protection.

    It’s nothing against Tor, but is an expected side-affect of attempting to be anonymous by sharing the same IP address with many people.

  • I also had a roommate fail to get a job over a poppyseed muffin.

  • Vibe parenting: “Drive carefully! Be safe!“

  • Android 16 now has support for running GPU accelerated graphical Linux applications

    Jump

  • Gimp already runs OK on ChromeOS, so I would expect the same on Android soon.

    Because Linux runs in VM on ChromeOS, there were some annoyances and there will likely be some on Android.

    Maybe they fixed it, but for a long time Linux on ChromeOS couldn’t access Yubikeys because Google choose not to expose those devices to the container.

    And some keyboard shortcuts and mappings couldn’t work because again Google limited what the container was allowed to see and control.

    And if certain kinds of problems happened, you ended losing both the apps and your data inside the Linux container.

    Yeah, it will be cool to run desktop Linux from your phone. But if doing Real Linux Work on Chromebook doesn’t appeal to you, don’t expect it to be better on Android.

  • Dotfiles feel too intimate and personal to share

    Jump

  • YADM is essentially git so about the only thing you need to remember is to use yadm instead of git when managing your dotfiles.

  • Dotfiles feel too intimate and personal to share

    Jump

  • I use YADM to manage my dotfiles. I like and recommend it.

    I don’t share them, though.

    I work in a security-related position. My dotfiles expose more about tools I use, how I have them configured and if those configurations are secure.

    I still like sharing and if there’s some snippet I think is particularly useful, I may share directly or post it somewhere. But I don’t share them all by default.
