I chose one from this list: https://github.com/forwardemail/awesome-mail-server-providers?tab=readme-ov-file#vps-and-dedicated-mail-server-provider-comparison-table

I recently set up the whole stack (Postfix, Dovecot, OpenDKIM) on a VPS. I wanted to do it from home, but my ISP won’t provide a static IP or open ports 25/465/587 for consumer customers, no exceptions.

It took me about two days to get everything working, but most of that was because I went in with very little knowledge of how email even actually works. If you’re looking for a learning experience, I’d say go for it. If you just want a working email setup quickly, I wouldn’t recommend it.

I haven’t noticed any deliverability issues so far. Just make sure you have SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and PTR records all set correctly from the start.

I have Mint on my laptop, manage Ubuntu Servers at work, run Debian on my home servers, have a working LFS build on my old pc, but use Windows on my main desktop. Where am I on the chart?

I was wondering the same thing. I checked my email, and over the past month I’ve received an email about policy changes from:

Discord
Anthropic (Claude)
Nintendo
YouTube
Meta
Airbnb
Microsoft

I don’t think it can be just a coincidence. At least a couple of them specifically mention the UK’s Online Safety Act so maybe that’s the reason?

It’s up to each app developer whether they wanna use the new API. According to the docs linked in this thread, each app needs to ask the user separately which option they prefer (so as of right now, there isn’t a system wide option for it).

So it’s not very clear to me why that option exists, even as a developer setting. Maybe Android itself uses it for its UI, but it’s still in the testing phase? Someone who has their phone set to one of those gendered languages could test it to see if changing the setting actually changes anything.

Even if most of the time they might not benefit anyone, it takes like 30 seconds tops to add one so why wouldn’t we. They can also be easily generated with AI, one of the actually useful use cases for it.

Thanks for this. My phone is in Finnish and that option has been incorrectly translated (“Kieliopillinen suku” ≈ “Grammatical family”, but family as in your relatives) and when I noticed it I wondered what that hell that meant and google didn’t help. Makes sense now.

Depends who you ask I guess, but at least Tor isn’t illegal there, is it?

Running a Tor relay, even an exit node, is not illegal in most jurisdictions. However, exit node operators may receive a large number of abuse reports and legal threats, which they must properly answer to avoid further trouble and that’s why it’s not recommended for the individuals to run an exit node.

For those living under authoritarian regimes where Tor might be illegal, the risks are obviously significantly greater.

Not really, as long as you don’t run an exit node

The internet got way more complicated since then with all the dynamically loaded and generated content. I don’t think the plugin would work very well these days.

It’s a-me, Mario!

From Assassin’s Creed 2. Might be known from some other game too, I dunno.

Reminds me of this

The Shining

I don’t really get what you’re saying. JS doesn’t throw on out-of-bounds array access and instead returns undefined, even in Strict mode. Obviously TypeScript needs to match the actual behavior with the typing.

const arr = [];
arr[5]; // undefined

Android wants to automatically add a “.” to the end of a sentence if I double space too fast

If using GBoard, that can be disabled in settings. I don’t know anyone who actually uses that feature, I don’t know why it’s enabled by default.

One of the reasons why videos don’t work well in Lemmy is that many instances have not configured their setup correctly for video streaming.

Not intentionally, but in high school we had a test on identification of flowers and plants. The teacher was an older man and he wasn’t good with computers. He was showing pictures from the computer using video projector but didn’t realize that Windows was displaying the filename of each picture in the title bar and each picture was named e.g. “daisy.jpg”. Almost the whole class got full marks on the test except for the unlucky few who sat in the back row and had poor eyesight.

Procrastinating

I will let you know later how good I am at it.

I think it’s pretty weird.
