Same here, I have been doing that for around 20 years now too and I started out with postfix and a list of vmails in a text file.

I wonder where this myth comes from. People host way more out there stuff themselves, but somehow email is too scary …

I’m stupid and I don’t read more than headlines. I’ll let it stand so you can make fun of me …

The more I read about it the more I think US law is vibe based.

When we discover that this is basically religion, a lot of people will be really confused and in denial.

There might be some heroic backyard surgeons who try, but mostly this is done in normal hospitals, it’s just that no one is asking where the organ comes from.

There is no backyard surgeon way of transplanting a liver - these people will just die.

And a lot of people will learn about botulism hands on.

That’s what I don’t understand.

The US proletariat has been fully domesticated, they elected Trump twice and the only mass organised push back are people holding signs on weekends.

I would assume that it would be more comfortable to stay in the US.

Great it’s not vibeslop it’s just crunch and worker exploitation. The choice between Pest or Cholera as we say in German.

I remember when browsers just showed text.

We should just throw away the web and do something new. Maybe Fidonet over Reticulum so we can use radio.

Keepass it’s simple and it has been audited.

The only one I can think about is Pharao.

There was a re-release recently

Yeah, new labour was the fully coöptation of the socialist party by capitalism and machine politics.

Before that they were at least Democratic socialists so they tried to help the working class a little bit.

Pompeii: The Legacy

Another take on roman inspired city builders. It’s in early access but already really playable.

Metropolis 1998

City builder inspired by sim city 2000 with pixel graphics. The interesting thing here is that you can plan and decorate the houses you build. So it’s a bit of simcity / sims mix with retro graphics

Currently only a demo is available.

States spend a lot of energy to keep people from realising this.

Yeah, they should do an init system instead of reinventing an operating system.

That’s the main problem I have with it.

Of course advocates of systemd will say it’s modular, but there is some kind of capture process going on - you have to relay on the systemd solution, because it fits nicely into the systems ecosystem …

I’m totally with you on that. I use systemd daily and it has enormous benefits for system administration, but I don’t like the direction it’s headed and how the project is lead. That’s what I wanted to bring across here.

That’s what the problem with systemd is. It started out as a “modern” init system but somehow we ended up with some kind of parasitic software heap that tries to replace the userspace.

I mean the latest addition is some kind of OS installer.

To quote James T. Kirk: “why does an init system need an OS installer.”

So software development by magic - makes sense.

That’s something I don’t understand.

I mean there is endless capitalism out there - what prevents China from just buying a company that has one? Like if you out up one Trillion dollars on Trumps desk tomorrow they could basically choose which company they want.
