  • I definitively also observe the recent increase of spam (mostly on info@domain) however spamassassin (after some training) does a decent job sorting the trash out. Also I use a unique email address for each website I register, this way a lot of spam was removed by blocking an email-address I’ve used for login to facebook 10 years ago.






  • Jeaaa… finally a discussion without winners… lets go for it …

    Whataboutism aside, humanity should be capable of fixing more than one problem at a time to survive. When you cannot trust your partner, the relationship has a problem. Clarifying fatherhood does not do any harm to anyone; rather, it helps the father accept the facts once they are proven, regardless of the outcome. Doing such a test right after birth, however, is the wrong move. Legislation must be changed in a way that ensures:

    1.) The child does not fear additional negative consequences.

    2.) The people responsible are also held accountable.

    There is no fundamental requirement for a test directly after birth where the mother is highly vulnerable. Biological fatherhoods do not change after birth.

    Is this a big issue? I can only speak about how it’s handled in Germany—and no, it is not.











  • I absolutely feel your pain. However, there is also the side that all this complexity must be handled somehow. The other extreme is that you’d have to compile all the software and its dependencies from scratch, as well as read and understand the source code.

    In the end, it boils down to the people who actually care (like you, who is probably one of them) to exercise caution—looking at the output of curl https://some.rando.url/install.sh before doing the | sudo bash -c and constantly insisting on the validity and absolute necessity of signature checks, transparency, and so on. Meanwhile, all the other folks get at least a foothold in self-sovereignty without being completely smashed by the details of compiler flags.


  • All these speeds the providers advertise (especially the faster ones) are often cut down by bad peering. I often had an issue downloading bigger files from my storage when I was traveling. Only got some single digit MBit transfer speeds due to bad peering, while speed tests has shown decent results. When it comes down to Selfhosting the upload/download figures alone not always tell the truth. In my point of view 20Mbps is actually even sufficient for most of private stuff, even streaming HD content to one ore two peers simultaneously.
