- Comment on Mozilla Thunderbird Challenges Gmail With Its Own Email Service 2 weeks ago:
No there yet but not getting the love it deserved either.
Maybe they oughta try asking for money like Wikipedia and KDE, maybe then they could become independent from Google and focus on actually developing a quality browser instead of making every app be about profit. - Comment on Mozilla Thunderbird Challenges Gmail With Its Own Email Service 2 weeks ago:
It’s insecure by default and Kids These Days™ prefer messaging apps, which have boomed in the last decade.
Time will tell. - Comment on Mozilla Thunderbird Challenges Gmail With Its Own Email Service 2 weeks ago:
It’s a saturated market and email is starting to disappear (it’ll take years, but the signs are there).
They’d be better using it on the browser and ditching other products. - Comment on Mozilla Thunderbird Challenges Gmail With Its Own Email Service 2 weeks ago:
So the Mozilla Foundation is gonna waste google money on email infrastructure? Hmmm… 'k… it’s not like their browser could use some love…

- Comment on Risks of self-hosting a public-facing forum? 3 weeks ago:
Hosting for yourself so you can access your content outside your home is usually the use-case, use WireGuard for that though (checkout headscale) along with virtualization, VLANs, etc.
Hosting for a group of friends and/or family can usually be ok, assuming that is a well known and restrict group.Hosting for the general public from home is usually not recommended, use a VPS for that. Bear in mind you’ll likely be liable for what you host, one way or the other, depending on your jurisdiction.
If you store content (files others may upload like movies and photos) you may be responsible for that (i.e. is that content legal in your jurisdiction?).
There may be a legal distinction between the server’s geographic location and the entity responsible for it - but in your case it’s the same, so, again, beware.
Just linking to content deemed illegal may get you into trouble.
Putting the site behind a login-only page and vetting account creation could mitigate (or exponentiate) this.
Anyway IANAL.What do you want to host and for whom?

the public has a right to know who a plane belongs to.
Why? This “right to know” is pitchfork mentality, really. If something happens the authorities can handle it and only they should have that kind of access, not John Doe. Not all who own planes are millionaires (those probably do register to an LLC).

How would you feel if you had a public gps transponder on your car publicly showing who you, where you are, and where you live?
Buy a new car, you won’t be far from that.

- Comment on E-waste or Linux? Charities face tough choices as Windows 10 support ends 5 weeks ago:
My concern is the likelyhood that companies using MS products will cut corners by using deprecated/unsupported OSs for years after the last security patch, which will lead to security breaches for many consumers.
That likelihood is high, real and current.
