@dalias @nixCraft When we talk about "Social Media" I mean the algorithmic driven shareholder value maximizing corporate anti social networks. I have no problem with Mastodon. 🙂

@nixCraft Yeah, social media is a failed experiment. Time to move on. The nordic countries are way ahead of the curve. As usual 👍

@logicslayer@hachyderm.io Cool, I have Immich installed already, but I haven't had time to play with it yet. And regarding phones, I would really like to try an alternative. Maybe a Fairphone + custom OS? But it's weird, as much as I like to tinker with computers and software, the phone is just a tool for me, and I don't want it to be a project. It should just work. But if you ever try out any alternatives, let me know!

@logicslayer@hachyderm.io I am using an Android phone. I wish there were a truly free option that works as well as Android. But I keep my Google apps to a minimum. The Nextcloud client for syncing files, and Aqua Mail as my mail client. I’m still using Google Photos, though. But that’s one of the next things I’ll get rid of. Apple is not an option for me. As a software developer, I worked a lot in the Apple ecosystem, and they are the worst. They suck you into their proprietary world, take your data, and charge you big bucks on top of it. In my opinion, they are the worst tech company of all. They just market themselves better. But that’s just my opinion. 🤷‍♂️ What do you use? Do you have any experience outside of iOS or Android?

@ernestdeleon@noc.social Exactly. Even if you do everything right, you could still have bad luck and have your IP address end up on a blacklist, and there’s almost nothing you can do about it. I learned to outsource email the hard way.

@arstechnica I just read Carrion Comfort not long ago. What a legend.

@binaergewitter @ingo @madmas #revision2026 live coverage? 😉

@JoeSondow@dice.camp To be honest. The stuff I have on GitHub is meant to be public and there for anyone. If it is used to make an AI model better (or maybe worse), that's fine with me. Code I don't want to share is in my own repo on my own servers.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Overpriced garbage. I'm so glad I have (almost) nothing to do with the Apple ecosystem or whatever they call their little kindergarden.

@vga256@mastodon.tomodori.net I am done with them. https://oldbytes.space/@rasterinterrupt/116143757381933015

@b0rk_reruns@social.jvns.ca I use set -e almost always per default. Probably should get used to do that for the other two too?

@jarrodu@social.tchncs.de I’m not sure what you mean. Do you mean moving a Gmail mail address like tron@gmail.com to another provider? I think that’s not possible, since the domain is owned by Google. Other mail providers like mailbox.org can be configured to fetch all mails from Google and then delete them from there, but Google can still read them. In our case, we have our own domain (actually multiple domains), let’s say mydomain.org. The mail server was hosted by Google, which is basically the business version of Gmail. We had about 40 email addresses there, like office@mydomain.org, for example. After the migration, the same addresses are now handled by mailbox.org. So from the outside, nothing has changed, except that big tech is not reading our mails anymore 😉. On top of that, we have our own self‑hosted Courier mail server, which the frontend mail server (now mailbox.org) forwards to. Years ago, I hosted everything on‑premise, but I can tell you, hosting an internet‑facing mail server is no fun. There are so many things that can go wrong, and having faulty mail is really bad for business.

@dexternemrod@troet.cafe @jarrodu@social.tchncs.de We had our own domain on Google Workspace, which we migrated to mailbox.org. These were not standard @gmail.com addresses.
