Friends don’t let friends use Microsoft products. Fuck Microsoft.
- Comment on Aggressive AI scrapers are making it kinda suck to run wikis 2 days ago:
Maybe we should have 2 factor authentication to read wikis. A person would have to come here and seek a public key from other people. If you can get 2 Public keys by proving you are human, then you get a month of wiki access unless you keep proving you are human or if you prove to be AI then you’re totally banned unless you get a public key in real person at the local Walmart or Safeway.

Saving… I’m going to try Pluto.
- Comment on Email ownership, I give up. 1 week ago:
I just checked out Posteo and Purelymail but one question lingers… How do I get all my emails out of their servers immediately as I get them and into a centrally accessible server that I can use to search thru my email from any device and accumulate more than just 3gb or 4gb or 15gb or whatever the next service’s limitations might be?
The reason I shouldn’t serve my own is because we have blackouts during storms so if I was traveling I wouldn’t be able to access things that would require email confirmation as a 2nd factor. That’s one reason for example.
But yeah I would like to have many devices be able to access the same emails thru a webmail client.

Hell is other people. My wife opens her new phone and says! Hey why am I running out of space already! See my gmail says I got no more space!
I tried syncthing and it was great for a while. Now I got an rsync script that I gotta run from time to time.
But wouldn’t it be great if The email just came off the bastards and into my own central server instead? That’s what I’ve been trying hard to do. I’m just not hitting the ball on this one. Mailcow, mailserver, stalwart, and a good other bunch. I always just get stuck in some part of the installation or end up with issues sending or receiving. But thinking about it, if I have issues, she’s going to have issues. So it’s not even worth it.
- Comment on Sea-level rise may be even worse than expected thanks to hidden Earth physics 1 week ago:
Not if you’re a politician with half a pistaccio for a skull. Mormons, sorry maybe friends but yeah, you’re gonna have to ctrl H your best pal out of the episodes. Try Quagmire! But you j-hob-ass, you’re all right. Yeah I already invited him. I opened the door. No, he doesn’t fit there, I could hemorrhage if he tried. My heart is no place for anyone. But under the couch, there you can find anything. Even a mouse!

Yes exactly. For me, I could figure it out given enough weekends. But screw that. For my wife, my kids, my mom and dad, those things are hyroglyphics.
- Comment on Email ownership, I give up. 1 week ago:
I did try this. It’s pretty easy up to the point where you need to do SSL or connect to Gmail.
To go to IMAP with GMAIL now you have to register as a Developer, you have to create a project and then create a key for that project once those things are created??? Where do they go? Heavens knows.
All of these, even if you get them to work today, Google can just break them tomorrow and you won’t know until maybe a few days without emails have passed?

Yeah ok maybe I just need to pay for a VPS.
- Comment on Email ownership, I give up. 1 week ago:
I was told about this one but never actually tried it. I am more hellbent on setting up my own server so I never have to migrate from anywhere.
- Comment on Email ownership, I give up. 1 week ago:
That’s the first thing I tried. I could receive emails but not send. Maybe I’ll give that thing one more go.
- Comment on Email ownership, I give up. 1 week ago:
I gave their self-hosted version a go and got stuck with the gmail connection. For Auth2.0 they’ve built some new bullshit. I think I gotta create an app to pretend I’m a dev, then use that app and password to allow it on my security settings… Google is such a bunch of shit assholes. Fuck Google! With a splintered rusty corrugate hose. Assholes. Who is gonna do that? Nobody. It’s just a tiny bit more than whatever technical knowledge I’m willing to spend cells on. Nah, I’m done.

I want to try stalwart on a vps. But I fail to make it work from my pc.
- Comment on Email ownership, I give up. 1 week ago:
Yeah, I’m going to keep using it for that. Just not any personal communication. It’s just bullshit in, and bullshit out. Ran out of space? Just delete bullshit. School needs an email? Okay here’s another junk email send your bullshit into it, I don’t care. Like that. There is nothing in the storage that I need if I don’t put anything into it.

- Comment on Microsoft confirms it's not launching Windows 12, as it teases a big announcement 2 weeks ago:
Pete, the Microsoft toe ring wearable? Pete spy’s on you from your toe!
New features to keep track of when you blink based on the sound your eyelids make as it travels thru your skeleton and gets amplified by your urethra.
… American males appear to blink constantly from 6am to 7am every morning! Incredible! Thanks Pete!

That’s actually tensegrity.
- Comment on What software are you using for CAD/modeling? 4 weeks ago:
FreeCAD. Anything that’s not opensource is basically using you for some nefarious purpose. You’re a product or a product in the making or you’re making a product for them…you could be training a CAD AI to end all CAD.
FreeCAD is us. You use it, if you find a problem you report it or fix it. That simple. Your CAD files don’t die because the company changed CEO or died.
