If you didn’t buy this for all the nerds in your life last year, you can remedy that this Christmas https://vole.wtf/doctype/

I #Selfhost my email server (that handles my 20+ domains) since almost 20 years now, currently on a cheap virtual machine running Linux, with 1 CPU core, 2G of RAM, 40G hard drive and unlimited network traffic which costs me less than €5/month.

Many people keep on telling me that running your own email server is more or less impossible. I simply don't listen to them.

I explained my setup in a blog series starting at https://jan.wildeboer.net/2022/08/Email-0-The-Journey-2022/

Also, I'm aware I have a bajillion + 1 messages and stuff. I'll read those when I can too. I'm trying to juggle love-of-the-game goop, with employement-goop, and a family.

Okay, love you, have a good night, or morning, or where ever you are

Had an interesting online exchange with an event organizer who asked me to repost their AI-generated car event flyer. I declined, and they asked why because AI is the latest and greatest thing. They were really polite and curious about it, so I linked my site https://whynoai.info and thanked them for being curious.

A day later they came back to me and said that they now understood why I took my position and that they respected it.

I like to think that I helped shine some light on this topic for one more person.

EDIT: I added a “It’s misinformation” section. Hat tip to @xanna

Huge PalmOS Development Archive Goes Online, Thanks to Personal Backups

Kinda fucked up that due to new enforcement policies, all British porn is now required to have an interlude where everyone pauses in the raunchy acts to respectfully remember Princess Diana and Captain Tom.

i never used proton. not because i had secret knowledge about them or saw some hint of what was to come, but because once i realized that the privacy of my communications was important to me, the only answer was to self host.

i understand this isnt possible for everyone. we all must do our own risk assessment, etc. etc.

but somebody else's computer will always be somebody elses computer. and sometimes that means shitheads will violate your trust.

“When #PatrickStewart was growing up in the 1940s, he witnessed how, after his father beat his mother, home doctors and ambulance workers would tell her: “You must have done something to provoke him.”

Stewart knew the violence was never warranted, a conviction that became the spark for a lasting commitment to campaigning for greater understanding of domestic abuse.”

👆

Commanding stage presence, great actor; For me though, it’s the leadership shown on #DV that elevates Patrick beyond other actors and celebs. Using visibility and position of power. 🖖

Hello, Little People Living Inside Of My Computer,

I have made my second ever YouTube video briefly discussing the Chinese government trying to compromise companies in Malaysia.

It was fun.

The biggest reason to distrust billionaires is how they spend their time. Any reasonable person with that cash would be gone from public life so fast you’d need scientific notation to measure their velocity, not sticking around shitposting on incel social networks and fellating creepy politicians.

The Fediverse tonight feels like a collective wake for Patrick Stewart. Thank you, my fellow nerds.

Had a guy round to fix a broken window. Apologised as I moved a pile of Lego out of the way so he could get at it.
"Don't worry about it, I have kids too."
Ha ha, yes of course, children. Obviously that's who left these toys lying about the place.
