apeters··on Show HN: Pablo – a Chrome extension that copies UI from any website
Why is every LLM created website so shitty? They all have this messed up margin and padding. Especially on mobile. Everything is just badly appended and unorganized. Feels like many different parts being glued together.

Ex mailcow owner here. Can confirm. Hard times.

I loved everyone in the community though. By heart. You were the best.

Wow. The EU.

Yep, I was an idiot and replied to the wrong comment. Sorry for that.
apeters··on Hyundai Paywalls Brake Pads replacement on Ioniq 5 N
A few years ago I used to help my father replace wheels in his car shop.

The lift was rather small and you couldn't get out of the car easily when you placed the car in the correct position for the lift's arms. We placed the car about a meter from the correct position, got out, pushed it forward and placed the arms.

For this to work you need to make sure the parking brakes are not engaged.

Makes me wonder how much energy the movement "released". Crazy.
apeters··on Whenever: Typed and DST-safe datetimes for Python
Am I the only one to stick with the std lib, read the docs and changelogs carefully, and implement functions I really need the way my application makes use of them?

I learned the hard way, that dependencies kill projects.

Not saying this isn't great, thanks for creating it! It does have its use cases, of course.

apeters··on Spammers are better at SPF, DKIM, and DMARC than everyone else
You may have success checking for common tracking and advertising elements in a mail. Good chance it's spam if there's not 100 trackers. Frustrating.
apeters··on All arabica coffee is genetically similar: how can beans taste so different?
Yes, that’s impressive.

I’m not eating fast food since years now and don’t want to defend their business, but I always thought that the fast food you get at a huge chain like McDonalds is probably the most thoroughly tested you can buy.

Thanks for your comment! :)

Nice to see you like(d) it.

Yes, sadly it gets worse, perhaps not even in bad faith but by trying to fix it.

apeters··on Microsoft Outlook Blocking All Email from Tutanota.com Domain as Spam
Hey, mailcow founder here!

That’s one of the reasons I stopped working on hosted mail. It has not turned to anything better with big companies putting their hands over it. It’s more controlled now but the same crap as before, just as dangerous and a bit more expensive.

Currently working on a system with as much control as possible but piggybacking existing providers' transports.

apeters··on Is AI the next crypto? Insights from HN comments
Centralizing power is a good point.

It feels like a huge dependency with a bunch of money involved.

I cannot _not_ see it clumping to a sentiment comparable to "you either AWS' or have no idea what cloud/network/cluster means".

We use these things like it’s actually "something". It’s not. We don’t build things with it. We configure other people’s software.

It’s born to be promoted as the next big enterprise stuff. You either know how to configure it or are not enterprise-worthy.

And that farts. Being dependent on someone else’s stuff has never turned out good.

Well, I mean. You can also not give a duck and squeeze out all the money. Work a job, abandon it and jump on the next train.

Feels useless, doesn’t it?

apeters··on Looks like Google just abandoned its "Web Environment Integrity" API plans
Can it be turned off? That should be an easy fuck you from EU devices if we’re not able to disable it.
apeters··on Tell HN: Fastmail is leaking internal routing email address/username with teams
Signatures are still valid when removing X headers. They would need to be explicitly signed; they aren’t.

I don’t think that’s an issue really. Perhaps you are putting too many emotions into it because they turned you down? It’s not as big as you think it is imo.

Good to know anyway.

Hi :) Not yet. I’m in a very burned out mode right now. Need to settle a bit.

Hi, it is now owned by tinc.gmbh

apeters··on Ask HN: What's on your home server?
Even though I sold mailcow and stopped working on it in the past months, it warms my heart SO MUCH to see people using it. :) Really, thank you.

I have some ideas for a proper successor which would be much more scaleable, modern, flexible and would be more focused to use existing transports for piggybacking mail. A fully and safely encrypted mail storage as well as a cool interface to invite for encrypted sessions etc. Smtpd and imapd using modern Python modules.

Providers found out it was easier to block private senders instead of developing good filtering mechanisms. I kind of understand this decision, but spammers simply abuse services like Sendgrid or create spam accounts on MS.

So… nothing really changed in regards of spam. We just lose actually *wanted* mails or have to look into the Junk folders more often, all while newsletters get on the priority lane.

That makes me unsure about developing anything in this regard. :(

Obviously this isn’t a perfect solution but will help in some occasions debugging applications.
