Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
Jesus fucking christā¦
So where do I switch now? Is this the moment I build my own email server and handle this shit myself? I really donāt wannaā¦
I use tuta and they seem mostly ok.
they have apparently promised they donāt plan on implementing anything AI-related which is good, though Iām honestly hoping for a system where our privacy isnāt entirely reliant on the promises of a single authority
and Iām not saying we should do our own federated e2e email service, but somebody should
ā¦more realistically, Iāll probably switch to tuta when my proton account nears renewal, as Iām not a fan of how much pure unfiltered horseshit Iām seeing them output with the money I paid them
Setting up an email server is really straightforward with simple-nixos-mailserver, highly recommend. No idea how likely you are to be classified as spam though from a new domain
i host my mail services for the last twenty seven years, and yeah, youāre talking shit. starting the smtp daemon is not the same as managing mail server.
this is one of the circles of hell Dante didnāt comprehend when he wrote Inferno
coming up on 18y on mine. my postfix config is almost of legal drinking age in a lot of countries.
modern email ecosystem is a fucking mess.
I host my own email and for my day job I run an institutional email system that handles ~50 million messages per week. I canāt recommend hosting email at either end of that scale (or anywhere in between), and I find it difficult to believe that anyone with experience running a mail server would claim itās reasonable or straightforward.
chance is near 100% though
itās also really, really fucking unpredictable, in the the-other-parties-do-not-reliably-behave-the-same way
used to hate having to debug mail failing to deliver to yahoo, and now lately google has started filling that nicheā¦
eh, nix is experiencing a chudpocalypse at the moment, which might be why youāre catching strays
