realaaa··on FSF announces Librephone project
ahahaha too true

but actually these kind of websites are way more informative also

instead of "clean" look where everything is just fluffed up

realaaa··on Free software hasn't won
what are the good modern examples of true FOSS projects which are still managing to make OK money?

even services like MSP are all relying on M$FT and similar vendors

there are some attempts at building open-source stack, but that ends up not viable in the end :(

realaaa··on Heavy codes of conduct are unnecessary for open source projects
ah thanks ! I was looking for this tweet of Eric and couldn't find it

great topic overall and some more balanced ideas in it + comments here, cheers everyone

realaaa··on Self-hosting email like it's 1984
ha ha indeed I wish it was like 1984 ! most of this extra stuff was not a concern back then :)

> Notes from setting up a truly minimal self-hosted email server with Postfix and OpenDKIM. Covers TLS, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DNS, reverse DNS, multiple domains, and delivering to Gmail.

great article and discussion nevertheless, awesome to see people still doing it

realaaa··on Self-hosting email like it's 1984
you can do SmarterMail for 1 domain for free - they are quite good, one of few decent remaining mail systems out there (of course it's commercial for business use)
realaaa··on Self-hosting email like it's 1984
hear hear !
realaaa··on Anduril and Palantir battlefield communication system has flaws, Army memo says
just give them Teams - problems solved ! :)
realaaa··on LinkedIn sues software company allegedly scraping data from profiles
they could have instead try to understand what are they missing (what / how is driving that scraping demand?) - and maybe try to do that themselves

or partner up to amplify that other use case

but I guess we are in the lawyers divide and conquer mentality these days

realaaa··on I spent the day teaching seniors how to use an iPhone
good summary actually ! thanks
realaaa··on I only use Google Sheets
this is what got me excited about NOtion in the early days - they nailed that notion ( he he ) about just providing a nice view for databases, which you can design yourself

and of course Google sheets with its synchronous use model is doing the same

realaaa··on Slack has raised our charges by $195k per year
well thanks Slack ! now I know about Zulip ! which looks quite nice

cheers to all

realaaa··on I feel Apple has lost its alignment with me and other long-time customers
what is Apple's motto these days? I am not sure actually

it is hard for them of course, Steve is gone, but machine is whirring and wants to eat every day

not very inspiring that's for sure

realaaa··on Show HN: Swimming in Tech Debt
will check out your blog ! cheers and good luck
realaaa··on We're Joining OpenAI
let's build AI together they said, it'll be fun they said :)
realaaa··on I tried every todo app and ended up with a .txt file
the simpler the better ! how I was thinking starting TiddlyWiki which then turned into a little beast :) but still works for me
realaaa··on M8.7 earthquake in Western Pacific, tsunami warning issued
it's not That ugly :)

but yeah I totally get what you mean, better watch volcanoes and nature than the urban scape around

indeed thankfully not that much damage there

realaaa··on Itch.io: Update on NSFW Content
so if this game is so horrible and indeed promotes rape etc - surely we (this shout collective specifically) can go after the actual creator(s), right?

otherwise indeed it's a lot of extra work & red tape for everyone else because of some ultimate dickheads, better to and bash them directly I'd say

of course still need to have checks and publishing rules etc

realaaa··on Replit Agent deleted a $1M SaaS startup's production DB
truly an example of fail fast :)

would be interesting to see what comes out of this further on - just in terms of how it will change people's perception on vibe coding
