Mostly Kubernetes and sometimes podman

Personally, Framework has become a bit too expensive for me. If you’re in the US I’d look at the older Dell precision and HP ZBook workstations from 2020 or earlier, they have amazing specs and go for $400 or so. Fairly repairable because enterprises demanded that they be and gobs of power for anything you want.

If you slap AGPL or something on it corporates will have no choice but to open-source their products built on top of your software.

Older MacBooks still have that darned WiFi card which you need special proprietary drivers for. And basically nothing in that chassis is standard; everything is Apple-specific if you want to repair it. I don’t recommend MacBooks

OS-hardening is exactly what I meant. Thanks

Thank you for your comment, I will save it. This really cleared it up

It is possible. One can have IMAP hosted on their server and simply use the SMTP server operated by a different entity. There are companies offering SMTP servers for free as long as you’re under the limit.

Thanks. After speaking with some others here, I’ve realised that this is actually quite doable (in theory). The other commenter has a great note on DKIM and SPF that I’m sure will help anyone looking to do this. Thanks for your help, I’ve also found a lot of companies offering a free SMTP server for a limited number of emails (which is more emails than I’ll ever send so it works for me).

Doesn’t delete it from Reddit’s servers unfortunately. All you’ve done is prevented people who might have been interested in your answers to not discover them anymore. And maybe the odd occasional bot that slips through the cracks

It seems to be a bigger problem than I imagined. What is the corporate buyout even doing on Mastodon? He needs to either give a really good explanation or be kicked.

I do not have a mastodon account, if you do/anyone does it would be great if the other mods there can be notified about this

I want to ask the same question I ask every time this comes up: how will they “ban” encryption?

Sure, they can ban the signal/session/simplex app from the app stores in the continent. Doesn’t prevent you from just downloading the APK/using any FOSS store like F-Droid and accrescent though.

The only problem I can see is that people are idiots and will go along with this, and then share confidential information with you, who is trying to maintain good digital privacy and hygiene, and by extension shine a spotlight on your behaviour to alert the local police force that you’re trying to have a private digital life. I try to be strict with my family about these things but both the older and young folk don’t care at all.

We need to stop posting there and start posting here and on Mastodon. I wonder if the community can come together to try to move traffic away from Reddit to these forums for the greater good

Indeed. I have seen lo______ol around for a while now. We need to name and shame Reddit mods. And move more people to Lemmy. Unfortunately, the Reddit boycott didn’t go well because normies have a sick compulsion to pardon any and all acts by corporate. Normies are the biggest digital masochists sans exception

Sorry, I take that back. I have edited the previous comment; I do not remember if it was Floorp or Waterfox or something else that I had heard complaints about. I think Floorp is fine. I prefer LibreWolf and Mullvad browser for the clearnet but my choices shouldn’t dictate what you should use.

Sorry, I take that back. I don’t remember which one out of Floorp or Waterfox I had heard complaints about. I think it should be fine. I still prefer Librewold and Mullvad browser because they follow the TOR browser’s hardening steps.

The previous commenter mentioned mxroute and I got sendgrid from your comment. I will look at these products, is there any other provider that you recommend?

Just use LibreWolf. Why is Floorp even recommended anymore? Last time I heard it was a privacy nightmare

I take this back. I cannot find any proof for this statement apart from some reddit comments bashing it. I do not remember if it was floorp, zen or waterfox that I heard a lot of complaints about regarding privacy so I’ll give Floorp the benefit of the doubt.

Amazing comment. Saved. Thank you so much.

Indeed, I have thought about hosting my own email, but the problem of dealing with IP blacklists made it seem not worth it.

Thank you so much for the explanation on DKIM and SPF. It makes sense to me now, indeed I didn’t really have a clue about either of these before I read your comment. Thank you for breaking it down.

I have an alternative for you if your power bills are cheap: X99 motherboard + CPU combos from China

In general how much VRAM do I need for 14B and 24B models?
