I don't think this is true everywhere. Queensland has the QAS[1], operated and funded by the state government. There are no (direct) fees.

Syncthing is great, but no good for mobile devices if you want to store and access lot of large files - it syncs everything, and last I checked, the features to prevent that were depreciated.

I did the same thing some years ago. I chose purelymail[0] as the MX for my personal domain and would recommend. The only issue is that it's so cheap, and my credit lasts so long, I forget that it is in fact a paid service and that I do actually need to make a payment from time to time...

It's redundant by now, but performative cruelty is the whole point.

My experience also. Kent is obviously very committed to the project.

FWIW, I've done a few bcachefs bug reports and thought Kent's responses were great.

Have you tried Kagi? It's not "peak Google", but at least I don't miss it so much anymore.

I switched back to the arch default kernel for my 32TB home media server, would you recommend going back to compiling your kernel for the time being?

Firefox on Android's URL bar still, in 2023, does not understand IPv6 addresses. So, unfortunately, there are still reasons to use Chrome. I use the Bromite f-droid repo but it hasn't had a new build since 2022. I'd like to see this project take off!

Do you know this is exactly how it works in most first world countries already? (except for the health insurance bit, because most first world countries have a public health system). Part-time workers get holiday pay, sick leave, and every entitlement of full-time workers, at a rate commensurate with their hours.

It's pretty obvious that bluesky is mostly handwaving around decentralization and federation. It will all go in the too hard basket once the service gains critical mass.

Another VC-funded bait and switch; nothing to see here.

Have you looked at peewee? It might be just what you're looking for.

It's not insincere. Many of the early adopters were social (queer, trans, furry) or political minorities (socialists, anarchists). They adopted Mastodon because they were sick of being targeted on Twitter and other centralized platforms. I can understand very much why they are protective of their space.

Have you used it? My local feed is overflowing with people that I think you would definitely describe as "normies"

Found Andrew Godwin on mastodon: @andrew@aeracode.org

What's the best way to play Quake on Linux these days?

I guess they see (saw?) some value in being known as Trump's host... but not that much value

brute force attack in this context is probably less technical (a hammer and a cold chisel)

I'll add to the chorus saying lightning is terrible. I have a mix of devices using lightning and USB-C. I have had zero issues with USB-C, in fact I still charge my phone every night with the USB-C cable that came with my Pixel 1. I've never had to replace a single one, so much so that I have a nest of spare, unused, USB-C cables in a drawer. Meanwhile, lightning cables are a continuous roulette of failure - I would guess I've purchased at least a dozen replacement lightning cables over that same time period.

I have a local maildir[1] account in Evolution. Each of my (IMAP) mail accounts is set so the "archive" command moves the message to a folder under the maildir account (if you're using Evolution, this can be configured under "Defaults" in the account properties for each IMAP account). Anything worth keeping from any of my IMAP mail accounts is archived to the local maildir, everything else is deleted.

The local maildir account is searchable like any other mailbox (I have about 10,000 messages going back to 2003). Syncthing[2] is configured to sync the maildir directory for backup and sync.

As others have started, when looking at events in Australia, you can consider the currently-governing Liberal party (economically liberal, socially conservative) and News Corp as effectively the same organisation.

On the other hand, the Liberal party is very hostile to the public service in general and the ABC in particular.

A key part of this legislation is the requirements for tech companies to provide selected news organisations with advance notice about changes to ranking algorithms. This has been generally overlooked in the reporting and discussion but I believe it is the actually the most important part of the legislation. It will give the selected news organisations an enormous advantage over other companies not included and protect them from new competitors, basically entrenching the current media landscape for the foreseeable future.

Given the current Australian government's cosy relationship with a particular media company that currently dominates the media landscape here, I don't think it is coincidence.

Surprised nobody has mentioned YADM - it can do per-device files and/or per-device templating too (jinja2 syntax). It's just a thin wrapper around git so you can use any git commands too.

For what it's worth, I recognized this as your content immediately. Thanks for your work.

Temporary traffic lights are extremely common, at least here in Australia. They are used in the case of roadworks or other short-term disruptions that requires traffic flowing in both directions to share a single lane, in conditions not suited to manual traffic control (i.e. overnight, weekends, long-term works on rural roads).
