Fair enough - I got it working recently but it was the hardest self-hosting install I’ve done. No way most people would succeed. Email is 50(?) years of questionable design decisions piled on top of each other so it’s become a whole world of weird stuff. Doing email should be it’s own tech specialty, like ‘devops’ or ‘db admin’ is. There’s enough depth to it.
There are a ton of email providers who are not Google, though. e.g. https://proton.me/mail. You don’t need to run it on your own hardware.


Guess how many sharks Australians kill each year.
[email protected] is the only non-dead one.


The study was done in Feb 2025 and they probably wrote the research proposal months before then, waited for approval / funding, etc. I don’t know the process of how academia works but I imagine it to be very slow and bureaucratic.

This is getting complicated.


The only large mainstream competitor, which would probably benefit from github’s troubles: “We saw github breaking itself regularly because of it’s own slop coding AND flooded with trash vibe coded projects and thought - that’s where we wanna be!”


Maybe they’ve blocked you.


If they want to click 3000 buttons, yes. These buttons are not new functionality, it’s been like that since the beginning.
Easier just to empty the relevant database table! It’s called ‘domain’ if anyone in the future finds this.


Here is the user interface for unblocking:



Thank you for that, I’ll think about it.


This is a strong and succinct argument, cheers.
We need peoplesdispatch.org I think it’s valuable thing to have a take on events from their angle. Yet it needs to be read with an understanding that they have an angle. Using the warning icon to provide that understanding is clunky and wasn’t really intended for that purpose. There has been some drift in the usage away from the original idea behind the feature.
One day it might be good to have a different icon for providing context, separate from providing warnings.
