Been doing this for years, and surprised he didn't seem to mention the other benefit: "infinity" email addresses. Oh, rando burger spot wants an email for some free fries? Great, hit me up at randoburgerspot@"mydomain&qu

Do you mean "on the server?" I don't -- and just the opposite here; the cost of keeping literally all of them is close enough to zero, I never delete any emails and use "read/unread." I just archive yearly.

OP's way of thinking is correct and better than all of the self-centered and callous replies I've seen here - y'all are the REASON we have to do things like, e.g. onerous ADA compliance measures and similar fights for user ri

It sounds like a dumb kind of centralization; yes, you can download all your old stuff, in the hopes that someone else will host it for you eventually. The smarter thing is the thing we already have with email (and that Mastodon can do) --

Look, DM's are inherently stupid. Just let people post their email addresses and contact THAT way. Now, of course, I'm not naive -- I understand that this idea is extremely unlikely to catch on and we're probably well pas

I'm sorry, did you just defend some big money company purely on the basis of the money they can project in one year? Did you miss when I said "bubble?" Sigh, y'all are not serious.

Seems this gives us a clear bifurcation of what AI is about to do. Open-Source style small players will actually solve problems with AI. And the big money invested things are going to do stupid pointless bubbly things at best, or enshitti

Nailed it. Long time Tinc user here as well for all my personal stuff. Besides the fact that onboarding individual machines is a garbage process, it's my second best "set it and forget it thing" I use; the first being Syncthi

"Sign up with a thing" -- but then what about after that? You've made a bunch of stuff, what happens to it? Offloading THAT mentally to a different "service" or "account" I think is easier than this all-

Yeah, the goals of atproto are REALLY GOOD ones. The only thing I'm skeptical of is the extent to which "centralized state of the world" really needs to be a core of the protocol -- and does that sort of thing introduce the

I mean, this might depend on who your intended audience is? As perhaps pie-in-the-sky my desire is, I'd like to see one of these things replace twitter (as opposed to smaller communities.) And it seems to me that the more frictionles

No. That is emphatically NOT entitled -- if the Traefik people have made heavy use of "open source," either practically or in marketing. If you tout "open source" ideas in the work you do, then you can reasonably be held

This is such an important idea -- and yet I feel like the hyper-individualized "bluesky" implementation pictured is a less good practical idea than Mastodons more "server/host" way of doing things. I get that theo

I'm going to generally side with with ops "bitterness" here. Sure, I don't want bad blood -- but like, I get why their tone is this way; this ain't just McDonalds vs Burger King. Op is correctly frustrated at the

Then some of those small people are wrong too. I wish we could all just stop fighting the truth of the tech -- it costs ZERO to make copies of things, and adjust accordingly. Patreon (and keep it real, OnlyFans) are roughly the only viabl

Whenever anyone says "Oh so I should hate company X" you know you're in for a bad, stilted argument that's going to defend some very narrowly defined thing. Companies, by their nature, grow and take over things for the

You can't? These are connotatively different, but denotatively identical ideas?

Ideas like this miss the mark when they don't factor in "the forces against us?" This isn't like choice of fast-food burger where it's slightly harder to drive further to get something a little better; nearly the

Yeah, this is dead wrong. I'll go in the other direction. With a few exceptions, it is unfortunately true that "a business" isn't just "a way to make money," it's VERY OFTEN "the only reasonable way

Yes, appreciate it -- and I respect the need to get into it about smaller particular annoyances of the left, etc. But again, it only takes a little poking around outside of ones bubble to see the nebulousness of "Woke". E.g.video

I'm not sure exactly what the question is here, but I'm comfortable saying that the definition I gave isn't a "later" thing. It's the historical/factual origin story of the word. As with many cultural thin
