  My concern is that “self hosters” in this context are state actors with their own data centers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨European Commission Trials Matrix to Replace Microsoft Teams⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I personally think the UI for both XMPP and Matrix clients generally kind of suck, which isn’t great for convincing non-techy people to use them.

  Ding ding ding. Make a Discord/Slack clone that does screensharing and drag/drop file sharing and I won’t care if it uses XMPP or Matrix

  I mean the problem is that even with human eyes it’s still really hard to tell l and 1 in that font.

  Are you having as much trouble with OCR as the article author? I would have thought OCR was a solved problem in 2026 even with poor fonts.

  I’m a software developer and I’m currently trying to recover one of these attachments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recreating uncensored Epstein PDFs from raw encoded attachments⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some of the Epstein emails were released as scanned PDFs of raw email format (see MIME)

  MIME formatted emails are ASCII based. To include an attachments, which can be binary, the MIME format specifies it must be encodes it using base64. Base64 can always take binary input and return an ASCII output. This is trivial to reverse if you have the ASCII output.

  I’m a bit confused by the article only discussing extracting PDFs while in actuality you can reverse any attachment including images.

  I am also no expert, so a smarter person will now correct me on anything I got wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mount an ISO in Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is terminal code not…code?

  N-no?

  Its a program/command called mount that takes in command line arguments. The program is documented (in overwhelming detail) in the manual which is accessible online or using the program man (man mount)

  The reason someone would recommened that command over the GUI is its universally installed on all Linux machines. OP said they were using Linux Mint. There are several Linux Mint distributions with different Desktop Managers (MATE/Cinnamon/Xfce) that all have different workflows of mounting an ISO file. mount is universal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mount an ISO in Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Neat! I’ve been using Linux for years and I didn’t know that distinction. If it doesn’t work as a normal users, I enter sudo !!
