Been self hosting mail for over a decade and its never been easier thanks to stalwart. The IP block list thing is true though, but mostly you request removal once from Microsoft and spamhaus and that’s it.

TIL humans are broth.

Do they go away if you breath in deeply? Does it hurt more when you breath in? Then it may be back related. There are nerves going from your back under the ribs to your chest.

I’m missing a bit the fact that this is not a law yet. This is the position of the commission, which the parliament will then need to approve and has to get past the ECHR as well most likely.

It depends on your threat model or how I like to call it: the paranoia level. Since all connections go through the ISP router anyway you won’t really gain that much privacy unless you directly put a VPN on your router.

Here is what you could potentially stop leaking:

• MAC addresses of your devices
• DNS queries if you use unencrypted DNS

Also theoretically, the router could be an entry point to do attacks against your devices.

People who use pfsense mostly do that because they want more features. For example I have an IoT VLAN that cannot talk to the internet.

For privacy the simplest thing would be to try and put a custom firmware on your WiFi router, like OpenWRT.

Everything else is a bit of an overhaul. And in the end, you always have to trust that the WiFi access points manufacturers firmware does not exfiltrate data.

Also, I would just try plugging in to the modem and see what happens. Most likely you’re just wasting power right now with that ISP router.

To be clear: that’s their issue.

What adapter are you using specifically, because on their website I can only find 4k30.

Salt is plastic and over time will completely engulf the waste.

Yes absolutely. The results are actually useful, they don’t have an incentive to keep you from finding what you are searching for. There is way less copywritten content and if there is, you can just block it.

Whenever I have to go back to “free” alternatives I am shocked by how much worse it is.

Let’s say you’re a student and poor. You live cheaply, eat ramen every day, etc.

Now you get your first real job. The amount of money at first will seem crazy. There will be the temptation to just splurge, buy watches, fancy apartment, fancy car on loan, etc. This happens every time your income increases significantly.

Now let’s say you get fired. Suddenly you have the loans, the bigger apartment, etc but no way to pay for it. This will be very stressful and you may have to do things you don’t want to.

Imagine instead you didn’t have the car. You got a modest apartment, and saved some money. You have no debts, and can easily take half a year to get a new job no stress.

So when I say live below your means, I mean do not give in to the temptation to splurge. Spend less money than you make.

Try to put at least 30% or so of your income to the side (aim for 50%). Make an emergency fund of at least 3 months worth of expenses. Then start putting money into tax-deductible retirement funds and ETFs.

Most importantly, never take loans and keep monthly expenses like subscriptions to a minimum.

In Ubuntu you used to be able to delete the UEFI firmware from the motherboard.

Live below your means.

I’ve seen this haven’t tried it out though

Upgraded my gaming system. Feels much snappier.

Try /sys/firmware

Everything should run under their own user when possible. This software is not using a privileged port (< 1000) so it doesn’t need root.

The docs seem a bit lazy if that is not recommended, possibly it will try to access some files it does not have access to.

This is actually really interesting!

This taxable individual, Kokott explains, was found to have bought and resold through “various forums, groups, and platforms such as Facebook, Discord, and Skype” enough RuneScape gold to earn €415,484—approximately $488,000 USD—between 2021 and 2023.

They then were ordered to backpay VAT because they made above 45k. Defendant says trading virtual currencies is like trading crypto, and VAT exempt. Government says its like selling a voucher instead.

Its corner cases like this one that make taxes complicated for regular people.

I also find it hilarious that tax lawyers and accountants will have to read that court decision.

The threat model is that all communication is recorded and will be decrypted once the technology becomes available. The question then becomes for how long you want your data to be secure. If its for example 40 years, you need to chose an algorithm today that is still secure in 40 years.

I would recommend something like stalwart, which is just a single binary and works. Gives you a web interface and a zonefile you can just copy paste into your DNS including all correct DMARC DKIM SPF and autodiscovery records.

Setting postfix, dovecot etc. up from scratch can be a bit time consuming and annoying.

Deliverability depends on where it is hosted, many VPC providers IP space is completely blocked in spam filters.
