Yes Matrix is not compatible with AP. Just a fact, not a judgment.

Well, matrix is supposedly open but it’s driven by the company behind it and there is no real way to further advance the standards without the company agreement. The foundation is more a facade than e steering committee, not even the source code is managed by the foundation.

But again, I use matrix myself so I am not shitting matrix, just pointing out some stuff about it.

The foundation is just a placeholder, everything is governed by the commercial entity behind Element and Synapse. Not good IMHO, but this is what matrix is.

Matrix is not fediverse. Matrix is created and controlled by a private company, which mask itself as acceptable by using a placeholder “foundation” that’s just a puppet.

Luckly matrix is based on a bunch of “standards” so there are alternative implementations like Continuwuity (also written in rust and pretty fast) instead of Synapse, Fluffy Chat instead of Element-x and so on.

But no, matrix is not fediverse, it’s not compatible and will never be (my opinion) because the commercial entity behind the matrix standards has no intention to open up that much the matrix ecosystem.

Yeah, it’s not that good as it seems. Still, I believe it’s the best option and the most mature.

Because you need to control humans, but there is no need for pets.

In fact, it seems that euthanasia and abortion are more difficult where religion is stronger.

'Arr mate, nope you don’t…

I self host on my domain and on my renter hardware (not from home I mean) since probably 20 years. Changed ip a few times due to provider replacement and rented hardware upgrade, but I never had issues whatsoever, at least serious.

Whoever complains about self host mail didn’t setup dkim/dmarc/SPF/proper DNS entries or is using some residential address pool, because really nobody filters you that much. I also self host mail for newer domains and again never had issues.

I had issues with an idiot sending spam from his account (relatives, the worst) but I banned him and unblocked my domain once, never had the issue twice.

I recently updated my wiki with all my instructions here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=email%3Astart

I wrote it for me, to remember what I did, but thought it might be useful for others. All bare metal, no containers, you learn what you do.

Is pop3 still a thing?

Anyway, more clear now, can make sense (not to me, I self host my mail on my VPS)

Let me be concise and short to the point: AI Is a tool, as any tool, don’t abuse of it. In case of creative writing, just don’t use AI.

Specially if the problem is inspiration or plot, AI will not help you, just dig your grave deeper.

Use AI for small, specific tasks where you can verify what it gives you and that’s all, if use it at all.

Sorry, not clear to me what this accomplishes. Yes you buy a domain and use it for your email, then if and when you switch, you also migrate imap-to-imap all your email… It’s a pretty easy thing to do and there are tools just for this purpose.

Is this a script to do the same?

3, 2, 1… Test the backup!

… Is that the rule, right?

I have been using the link to share… Its not a weird thing, just a filesystem link between radicale users…

But if now it’s easier to manage, good to know… Let us know!

Update : my ISP does not provide GUA… So, whatever. Stick to IPv4 for the time being, no need to get complicated with IPv6 nat when I already have IPv4 nat working fine.

I actually have two ISP and one does support ip 6 with a GUA and that’s where I got confused… Unfortunately, it’s the one providing 20mb/sec FTTC that I use only for backup. The main one, the one providing 300mb/sec over FVA does not.

Mostly because my files stay on my hardware, on my network. In case of internet down/broken/filtered I can still access all my data. That is one of the points of self hosting. Not the only one, granted, and maybe not even the most critical, but having the opportunity, better to host on your turf.

Go ahead the self host on a cloud somewhere, nothing bad about that! Have fun, enjoy, learn and be digitally independent is the core of self hosting.

Ok, i misunderstood!

Why use an external cloud? While its technically still kind of self its not self hosted anymore IMHO. You would still be running your services, but on somebody else, rented, hardware. While I do the same for a few services (like email), i wouldn’t suggest it for general services that you want to reside on your turf (like immich, music, 'arrs, passwords, whatever)

How do I find out if the ISP is handling me a single address or a /64 or whatever?

Mm no, not using dyndns. I am missing IPv6 support on the LAN side… But I have it on the wan side

Nope, no vpn

Good stuff for a sci-fi movie, but that’s about it.

Nobody is going to phase out fast food or kill meat anytime soon. Not even anytime late…

Ok cool to know, never done raid1 since the time I moved to btrfs…
