  • Still don't understand lix. It doesn't seem to provide a different ecosystem to nix and I'm not sure how it would benefit me to switch. Plugins do sound interesting however... I'd had a few ideas of what to implement for a while now.

  • I don't want your PRs anymore

  • End result is the same.

  • This AI Tool Rips Off Open Source Software Without Violating Copyright

    Jump

  • Eh, and the same can be done to closed-source and copyrighted stuff. It's a double-edged sword.

  • Mastodon says its flagship server was hit by a DDoS attack

    Jump

  • We need more DDOS attacks on Xitter. Wouldn't it be great if Xitter became so unstable people willingly left?

  • Wrote a nixos module to fetch emails and serve them via IMAP

    Jump

  • POP is what I use, but fetchmail also supports IMAP and can delete after retrieval with --no-keep (doc).

    But yeah, if you already host your own email, then this isn't necessary for you. Btw, how has the experience been of hosting your own email? Don't you need to join some kind approval list to be able to send emails to big hosts (especially Google)?

  • They = email host. gmail, etc.

    But the mail flow goes into your gmail inbox and is analyzed when it it lands. How does this prevent google from reading your mail received by the gmail account?

    It's not, but if you switched to another email host, they wouldn't have the data Google acquired. And if you switched again, the new host wouldn't have the data the other host + gmail acquired.

    How does Proton Mail Bridge work?

    Proton Mail Bridge is a desktop application that runs in the background, encrypting and decrypting messages as they enter and leave your computer. It lets you add your Proton Mail account to your favorite email client via IMAP/SMTP by creating a local email server on your computer.

  • Because the headers will have all the transport and delivery metadata from your old inbox? I don’t see how this obscures any of that.

    I think there's a misunderstanding here. How are they going to access my old inbox? I'll be self-hosting it.

    GMAIL --POP--> myServer --IMAP--> myDevice(s)

    I can switch out gmail, with protonmail, startmail, fastmail, posteo, kolabnow, zimbra, gandi, etc. The only thing I need to update is my MX record and fetchmail to pull from the new managed inbox and that's it.

  • This is a setup to continuously pull the emails via POP into your own IMAP server. When you transfer email hosts, they won't know a thing about your previous inbox - why should they be privy to that? Plus, you won't have any storage limits on your server like on the managed email hosts (maybe 1GB if you pay? dunno). The data stays with me.

  • A video arguing C++ is the worst programming language to ever exist

    Jump

  • if you like C++, you dont know it well enough

    Or you are a masochist and just used to the abuse.

    The video isn't humorous, it's dead serious. C++ is terrible language.

  • How could/would/should the Fediverse do age verification if required in the EU?

    Jump

  • I'd sign and send an email for sure.

  • This Week in Plasma: Per-Screen Virtual Desktops and Wayland Session Restore

  • Written with a lot of help by an AI. I'm not knocking it and it has been asked for for a long time. Maybe AI ain't that bad after all?

    Regardless, not a feature I'll use, but it's cool that somebody implemented something sought after by many.

  • Done :) I don't know how many NixOS users are in the community, but maybe it'll be useful to someone.

  • Do you use any note-taking app? If yes, which one?

    Jump

  • I use LogSeq. It's nice, but it's basically a local app in a browser (electron), written in an (to me) obscure language. I have been on the look out for a more native alternative with similar features that doesn't look like crap. So far, LogSeq is here to stay.

  • Are you doing anything cool with n8n?

    Jump

  • That is a profound misunderstanding of AI, wow.

  • Unfortunately, the majority will go "nothing to hide" and move on. Only when the effects hit will they notice.
