Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Why do so many services require email configuration?English
1·2 days agoThat depends who’s hosting it. There’s few good reviews of email hosting out there at the moment.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Why do so many services require email configuration?English
6·2 days agoEven if you self-host, other people’s mailservers still interact with it, unless you only chat with other users you host. And some of the big webmails variously get really pernickity about your DNS, DKIM and more, or they deploy some pretty obnoxious countermeasures against your server with little explanation. So I’d say it’s more often both than not, no matter what you do. If you think it’s not being a pain, there’s probably an unpleasant surprise in your server logs or coming soon!
It’s still often worth self-hosting, but that’s more big webmail really sucks, even ISPs often don’t set their mailservers up well and it’s often an early casualty of ISP managers looking for costs to cut.

Even better, go watch a bike race. It’s probably much cheaper, even with some travel.

Technology@lemmy.world•Surprise EU rollback of 'GDPR' digital-rights rules prompts alarmEnglish
1·4 days agoI suspect people disliked both of the approaches you suggested, or thought it was a false dilemma fallacy, but downvotes rarely come with explanations.

56·4 days agoContact your local MEP. Ask your local MP or Deputy or whatever you call them to push the relevant minister to oppose it. It’s not great, but you do have a say.

Technology@lemmy.world•Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 PhonesEnglish
7·5 days agoArticle rests on one expert. That assistant professor’s publication list doesn’t seem to contain evidence about it, plus the quotes in the article don’t directly say it happens.
Maybe it does, but that article only seems to be guessing based on (admittedly reasonable) theory.

Technology@lemmy.world•Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 PhonesEnglish
23·5 days agoGot proof? I’ve not cracked open a phone for a while to see if the component labelling matches the interface, let alone tested capacity of an extracted battery directly.
Why not serif body copy? (looks at most newspapers and books)

Technology@lemmy.world•The Internet is Dying. We Can Still Stop ItEnglish
1414·8 days agoSome good observations and some software suggestions, but I don’t think all of them are good. I hate Anubis when I’m using an assisted accessible browser (that it locks out, always saying a solution is coming but it never has, which I’m pretty sure is illegal discrimination in some situations) and they really ought not recommend Proton without mentioning its chief supporting Trump and helping French police track climate activists.
Other tips, including Lemmy, are better.

96·11 days agoDe-googled phones exist, but they’re rooted or using a custom firmware. Usually, these phones spoof Google Play Services, replacing that layer with something called MicroG.
So root and flash your phone today!

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Verdict of misadventure over cyclist's death in SligoEnglish
10·11 days agoMr O’Grady accepted that the sign was an obstacle.
However, he said it is accepted that Sligo County Council complied with the Department of Transport Traffic Manual.
So basically, it’s a government-approved killing, as a 85cm-wide sign in an already-undersize 1.2m cycle lane is both an obvious potentially-fatal crash hazard and perfectly legal. When will Ireland protect cyclists better?

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How often do you update software on your servers?English
46·17 days agoThose apt commands are in a less-good order. It’s usually better to update apt, then upgrade the system.
I upgrade as soon as reasonably possible after the notification appears, if the system isn’t on auto-upgrade.

Technology@lemmy.world•Satellite Snooping Reveals Sensitive Unencrypted DataEnglish
4·18 days agoIt reads like “definitely should not happen” was indeed happening!
I wonder if some techs got a basic unencrypted test working, then a pointy haired boss moved them on to another project and it got deployed into use with no-one setting up the encryption.

3·18 days agoYou literally wrote that they don’t represent you, so what else could I reasonably infer (not assume) from that? I bet you’d be more offended if I assumed you were lying in everything you wrote… but great thanks to you for petitioning them. It’s up to us all to make our representatives care.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•“Politically correct” cycle lane plans would put “economic vitality” of town at “serious risk”, warns Labour MP – due to loss of six car parking spacesEnglish
1·19 days agoWhat’s the current best summary of that with evidence for the UK? Is it still the one in Gear Change?

And bicycles are ridden both by poor workers who can’t afford cars and the elite who don’t need to rush about in cars, so it’s a form of transport that all classes can be told to hate! 🙄
