You should not run your mail server because mail is hard

TL;DR: - Mail is not hard: people keep repeating that because they read it, not because they tried it - Big Mailer Corps are quite happy with that myth, it keeps their userbase growing - Big Mailer Corps control a large percentage of the e-mail address space which is good for none of us - It's ok that people have their e-mails hosted at Big Mailer Corps as long as there's enough people outside too EDIT (2019-12-15) # A practical guide to set up a mail exchanger was published on this blog.

De ODF #glasvezel steekt hier boven de grond uit, nu nog de verdere invoer in huis en de wachttijd tot Freedom mag leveren over die glasvezel. Maar onze buren hebben een andere ISP, die via minder glasvezelnetwerken levert. Die moeten dus nog langer wachten.

In the supermarket today I saw people video calling to discuss what to buy.

I used a shopping list.

Microsoft spent 4 years stuffing Windows 11 with unwanted ads, forced Copilot integrations, stealing data to train its shity AI and other bloatware, now they want applause for promising to remove it. Reasons for a Change of Heart:
1 Increased Linux gaming
2 Apple's entry into the low end PC market with 0 forced AI
3 The "Microslop" social media shaming campaign
4 Increased costs due to AI leading to almost 0 ROI since there is no consumer demand https://www.sambent.com/microsofts-plan-to-fix-windows-11-is-gaslighting/

"het grote probleem is dat de Amerikaanse NSA je DPIA niet heeft gelezen"
Politiek Den Haag vertelt ons dat de aanstormende energiecrisis geen reden is tot maatregelen in Nederland. "COVID blijft in Brabant". Hier waarom we absoluut wel aan de bak moeten want anders lopen we deze winter een enorm risico. En het is duidelijk genoeg wat we moeten doen: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/waarom-we-nu-wel-zuinig-moeten-doen-en-meer-groene-energie/
Waarom we nu WEL zuinig moeten doen, en door moeten met groene energie - Bert Hubert's writings

Het Internationaal Energie Agentschap zegt dat we zuinig aan moeten doen vanwege de oorlogen in het Midden Oosten. Ministers in Den Haag zeggen dat het niet hoeft, want er zijn hier geen tekorten (!). Doet wel erg denken aan ‘COVID blijft in Brabant’. Kennelijk een Nederlandse traditie! Maar, natuurlijk komen die tekorten ook naar ons toe, de benzine is nu al stervensduur. Maar heeft het zin om nu in de zomer slim met energie te doen?

8 Million Requests Later, We Made The SolarWinds Supply Chain Attack Look Amateur

Surprise surprise, we've done it again. We've demonstrated an ability to compromise significantly sensitive networks, including governments, militaries, space agencies, cyber security companies, supply chains, software development systems and environments, and more. “Ugh, won’t they just stick to creating poor-quality memes?” we hear you moan. Maybe we should, maybe

For those who don't know Meta is behind this OS level age verification stuff so they don't have to implement it within their own apps, like IG, FB, and WhatsApp. They are a truly evil mega corp out there that is pushing this and lobbying for things like age verification, ID verification, and KYC at OS level. They spent so far 2 billion dollars to make this legal thing. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/reddit-user-uncovers-behind-meta-154717384.html
