Ah OK that’s a shame.

I haven’t even looked at port forwarding. I think maybe some ISPs in some countries might block traffic this way but others will know better. Everything just works with Mullvad on Fedora with Qbittorrent, so I’m happy.

Good work!

I can’t speak for others but I go through phases of enjoying the sound of different accents. I’m currently loving Indian.

Where did the Linux socks thing come from? I see it around and am curious about the lore.

I think this is a good article and I agree with it.

A big part of how I got turned on to open source was emotional and still is tbh. I felt like I was being taken for a fool by Apple, Google, Microsoft and Facebook and was angry.

The big money and power is in information technology now and it’s the new instrument of imperialism, which is why ‘enshittification’ has happened. The great news though is that information is so easily shareable and reproducible, so the more of it we make free the harder it is for them to keep fucking us over with it.

I don’t know when the next big civilizational ‘reshuffle’ will happen (probably on it’s way now), but the more that we make common and free the less leverage the greedheads will have over us when it’s time to work out a new settlement.

Pretty ironic considering they don’t play any sports of their own.

Maybe. They clearly want to in Denmark and Germany though. And France does good work too.

Not many of us are old enough to have seen things really change but they can.

Sounds like either a) the dehumidifier is broken or confused b) your apartment has more moisture in it than you thought or c) the moisture is being replenished from somewhere.

I stayed in a friends house a few months ago and she had 4 dehumidifiers running since she bought it. The house was built before damp proofing was a thing and set into a hill, so the place is basically one massive wick for groundwater. It will never be over for her.

It would be funny if Trump’s biggest legacy was the mass adoption of open source.

The EU could get a ridiculous amount done if it decided to seriously invest in it.

That’s the spirit 👍

This an impossible choice, so I’ll take two: Ernie & Bert :)

I use Jami and Session. Interested to check out SimpleX Chat though.

It certainly is!

I’m afraid I can’t offer any recommendations but I just wanted to say how beautiful it is to think of you keeping track of each others heartbeats while you’re apart. That’s love

Thanks for being a moderator :)

This is a good one

For the price of a cheap VPS and a couple of hours setup you could run YUNOhost, which comes with email set up out of the box. It integrates perfectly with Thunderbird on desktop and android and you can install other cool stuff on it as well.

Installation is a bit more involved than signing up with a commercial email provider but I thought I’d mention it. I had no previous experience of server admin and was able to get it set up and my server is still going strong after nearly three years.

Tomato and dry roasted peanuts 🤌

I was just borrowing it when I made the rip and was also using a borrowed drive to read it, so I’d rather try and fix the files I currently have. I tried ripping it more than once when I had it, so I just settled for what I got - only getting around to fixing it now!
