Meh, in Emacs you can use https://github.com/halfwhole/pride-mode every month.

I’m not used to shitposting being called “content creation” but whatever.

Lemm.ee is shutting down from lack of admins, apparently.

Just use a sip phone app on your mobile. I use Linphone but there are lots of them.

I use it to initialize new VPS with my usual setup, but it might be easier to use a container format. I think Ansible itself has become a bit unfashionable since I started using it. I don’t know what is cool instead now. It was Saltstack for a while but idk how long that lasted. Ansible is working mostly ok for me so I’ve stayed with it, til whenever.

Worth mentioning, this book was written in 1954. Full text is online, find by web search.

Book was published in 1954. I hadn’t heard of it previously. Based on the video blurb, the longwinded but interesting article “Meditations on Moloch” by Scott Alexander might also be of interest. The video is 12 minutes long, I guess not too bad, but I’m still not up for watching it. Here’s a longer version of the blurb, I guess:

Yes, that too. I hadn’t even thought about trying to send email from a home ISP. Everyone knows you basically can’t. I thought the idea was to receive email rather than send it, so you wouldn’t be relying on some bigtech company to store it for you.

I think there are still enough v4-only systems out there that you don’t really want to host a mail server on v6. You are right though that it would be nice to be able to get static v6 (or for that matter v4) addresses from home isp’s. Some do offer that of course.

Another issue can be that the average home internet user has no idea keep even a client system secure. So ISP’s might use NAT and default firewall configurations partly to stop incoming connections on the theory that they are likely to be malicious. On home routers you can usually open ports if you know what you’re doing. I don’t know if that’s even possible on mobile phones.

This looks like some kind of weird AI slop, sorry.

I’ve never used Discord – is it similar to Mumble? I tried Jami but found it too unreliable to recommend. What about Nextcloud Chat? I do use that though it is kind of clumsy.

I’m on lemmy.ml, it uses JS but it doesn’t appear to load any from other domains. It serves images through a local proxy.

https://ifanyonebuildsit.com/ argues the opposite (“if anyone builds it, everyone dies”). It’s not out yet though.

Are there not already about a zillion of these?
