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
@Viss it's known as the McLeather round here.
still going to say it's my favourite McDonalds foodstuff, but that is with my understanding maccies produce food with "mechanically reclaimed meat" not choice cuts or prime meat
I *do* know what "mechanically reclaimed" means, but I like to think they mean roadkill instead :)

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.
@passenger the handy warning to wipe your hands before they play "God Save the King" at the end does make up for it a bit though
@nolan I'll do my best
@nolan <considers this>
soooo... in these days of pedal-scarcity we're okay to "borrow" bikes too? ;)
@jpm it'll work fine if you use -2 of them instead
@vx_underground "sorry, I'm a media personality now, I can't just ungoop on youtube for money.
you got any of that juicy 'exposure' I keep hearing about though?"
;)
@nolan tbf my own stupidity, tiredness or overconfidence sometimes violates my trust as well, but that at least only screws myself over I guess

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. 🖖
