Yeah it kinda was
- Comment on Zack Polanski open to Labour pact — but only if Starmer goes 10 hours ago:
Same with any party (lots of infighting amongst the conservatives during Johnson’s rein), but the media overreport on the failings of the left, embarassing as they may be
- Comment on Innocent African-American child George Stinney executed after being falsely accused of murdering two white girls | 1944 1 day ago:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Stinney
He was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death on a single day in April 1944 and then executed by electric chair on June 16, 1944,
His grade school teacher then lied on TV 50 years later saying he witnessed the murder for money.

mailcow seems to be pretty nice, thanks for introducing me to this. I have to admit that the 800MB RAM minimum requirement makes my eyes water slightly.
Still, nothing a Pi can’t handle

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC all make it near impossible to host your own email server. Mail will simply get lost.
Yes, we live in an age where email only works properly if you use a service from a large entity using weird badly-defined email security protocols that they invented.
This is the reality.

Oil and Gas still dominate, of course, but we’re steadily chipping away at it, and it might be an exponential trend rather an a linear one. Exciting times!

- Comment on Uber rewrites contracts with drivers to avoid paying UK’s new ‘taxi tax’ 1 week ago:
It’s not uncommon for HMRC to make sweetheart deals with large multinationals.
Yeah, but only if the deal means getting more money for HMRC.
If a company says “actually we’re going to declare our business operations in tax-free British Sark” then HMRC has to petition the government to stop them from doing that.
Or it can cut them a deal now
- Comment on Wikipeter was the founder of the site in 1993 when he wanted to know more about model trains without having to visit the library 1 week ago:
I completely agree, though they have an interesting policy where they themselves cannot be a primary source of information but can only quote secondary news sources.
The aim is to stay as impartial as possible, but the reality is that they remove hundreds of pages where the primary source of that info (usually a news website) is no longer accessible (archive.org or otherwise).
Right-wing news media can therefore win in the longrun by simply keeping their news sources always online and available for Wikipedia to source, since left-wing news media is more likely to have expired links.
The best thing for anyone to do therefore is to fund the archiving sites. Archive.org in particular is a crucial piece of news infrastructure keeping Wikipedia balanced.

that’s fair
- Comment on Belief 1 week ago:
You dont see the coordinated efforts of several right-wing billionaires to influence elections and public thought through corruption and social media, as well as the actions of private equity firms swallowing up any market that lets them, raising the prices on basic things like food and housing… all that, doesn’t frighten you?
I hope you’re right, but I feel like we’re barely prepared for what’s coming next.

- Comment on Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret 1 week ago:
I don’t think it was a basic problem, but something to do with vendor’s implementation of it not being in the device tree and so it could not just be copied over as a binary blob
- Comment on Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret 1 week ago:
It’s a software implementation though, so if you have a rooted phone or use another Android OS, you have limited options in apps that implement eSim for you.
OpenEUICC is a good one, but sometimes requires magisk modules to work.
I remember it took me half a day of fiddling to get my eSim working under Lineage
- Comment on w e a k n e s s 1 week ago:
we can give you the free plan, but it comes in a few flavours:
- No ads. 150 years of hedonistic virtual bliss (5 years realtime), then we put you to unceasing torturous work for the remainder of your lease (20 years) before bucketing you out for another customer.
- Ads in realtime, you have to watch them, max volume, 60seconds, one every hour, we leave you alone otherwise, except to record your responses when watching ads.
- No ads, but the sim runs at 100x slower than realtime. You’ll experience about 10 years of normal afterlife every 100 years
