Wut?

The reason I gave up self hosting email was because all my emails kept going to spam for everyone I emailed.

You need to set up DKIM, SPF and DANE, then most big email providers will accept your mail. Worst case, you may need to contact them to unblock your mail server’s IP if that has been used by a spammer prior to you.

Plus incoming email needs spam protection.

Both SpamAssassin and Rspamd do a decent job of that.

Note: I’m using rspamd, and for some time at the beginning, it looked like it wasn’t really doing anything. Turns out it needs a couple hundred training emails before it will start using the Bayes function. Just feed your Spam folder into the learn_spam command and any of your normal, not-spam folders into the learn_ham command.

Domain registration information can usually be found out somehow, although these days you have to jump through some additional hoops to get it, and those hoops are designed to discourage automated lookups. The privacy gains you get from hosting your own email server, though, are massive and IMHO more than worth it. If you are not hosting your own mail server, then the most you can expect from having your own domain is nicer looking email addresses. Depending on what your hosting provider supports you might also get unlimited aliases, maybe even regex aliases, which can be very helpful when handing out mail addresses to various companies and internet services.

If your main concern is that your email address should not be associated with your real identity, your best bet is to just use a VPN to connect to any large email hoster, like ProtonMail. (Obviously don’t use Proton Mail if Proton is also your VPN.)

War wohl nicht gut rüber gekommen, mein Kommentar sollte sein, dass Trumps Reaktion hier doch sehr an den Drachen erinnert.

Das glaub ich dir gerne so Leude Forza ist jetzt fertig runtergeladen woll‘n wa ma ne Runde starten

There’s talk on reddit about another more close-up video that shows him getting hit in the carotid artery.

That’s pretty bad. I don’t like Charlie Kirk at all, but him getting shot is going to rile up the right into a fierce frenzy. This will get dangerous, and will make the situation even worse.

Posts in public forums are very often made for the sake of just about anybody reading the thread, not just the person they are directly responding to.

So are mine – but the power use is becoming a problem. More modern screens use less than half that at the same size and brightness. Replacement will be necessary soon.

Older Millenial here. It was definitely GenX that paved the way for the computer world I learned, and it was mostly GenX who wrote the books and taught the lessons (often informal) that brought us what knowledge we have, at least in the beginning. Plus a small selection of exceptional individuals from older generations, including, dare I say it,… the baby boomers.

I suppose I’m gonna have to be “that guy” again:

40 years ago, Microsoft did not “invent Excel”. They developed yet another spreadsheet application and called it “Excel”, presumably in a moment of coke-fueled hubris. (I mean, seriously, “Excel” as a product name? We don’t think about that much these days, because we have gotten used to that name, but if you didn’t already know about MS Excel, how high on your own supply do you need to be to call a software product that?)

The actual invention of the spreadsheet was done by other people. The earliest example was probably Visicalc for the Apple II, and a more prominent example predating Excel was Lotus 1-2-3.

Sorry to be so nitpicky, but urban legends like “Microsoft invented the spreadsheet”, “Microsoft invented word processors”, “MIcrosoft invented operating systems”, “Apple invented GUIs”, “Apple invented the computer mouse”, “Apple invented portable MP3 players”, “Apple invented smartphones” and the like form the base for some very distorted narratives about how our world works, and I don’t like it.

How curiously pertinent in more than one way…

Why does he look like Leonardo DiCaprio?

Money quote from the article:

For its part, Russia had largely shrugged off Mr. Trump’s previous 50-day deadline, noting that past deadlines set by Mr. Trump or his team had come and gone with little consequence.

This woman could probably afford to just buy a new house if her current one is in need of a new coat of paint, let alone if it’s suffering from mold growth. Yet she chooses to live like this.

Also, I cannot get over that look on her face. That sheer barely hidden contempt oozing from it. The superiority complex behind it. The signature look of a narcissist.

Is this a meme from when JPEG was new and a 56k modem was considered blazingly fast?

This is x86 assembler. (Actually, looking at the register names, it’s probably x86_64. On old school x86, they were named something like al, ah (8 bit), ax (16 bit), or eax (32 bit).) Back in the old days, when you pressed a key on the keyboard, the keyboard controller would generate a hardware interrupt, which, unless masked, would immediately make the CPU jump to a registered interrupt handler, interrupting whatever else it was doing at the point. That interrupt handler would then usually save all registers on the stack, communicate with the keyboard controller to figure out what exactly happened, react to that, restore the old registers again and then jump back to where the CPU was before.

In modern times, USB keyboards are periodically actively polled instead.

Non-murder solution:

Place and hold the apples precisely on top of one another. (Make sure your fingers are not in the way.) From one side of the apple tower, go horizontally exactly two thirds of the way to the other side. At that position, cut vertically through both apples from top to bottom. You now have two pieces that are two thirds of an apple each, and two pieces that are one third each. The kid you like best will receive the end slices without the apple core in it.

More realistically, disregard the stupid premise and make as many cuts as you need.

In the background i can only recognize Shinzo Abe (Japan).

John Bolton is also quite recognizable. The rest, I can’t place, either.

Germany’s Angela Merkel called the U.S. president’s words “sobering and a little depressing"

Meanwhile, the Italians thought he was too chaotic and disorganized, the Greek didn’t like his lack of work ethic, the French objected to his constant philandering and the British were put off by his taste in food.
