This seems to be one guy who repackages nextcloud and markets it as the "european alternative" as a quick cashcrab without any own developments
Re:Don't host email yourself – your reminder in 2026 on Monday February 23, 2026 @10:32AM (#47123603)
I had one email bounced from that specific provider, I don't have a website on my mail domain, but I explained what I used it for and never had any issues. I send like less than 1 email per quarter to them and it kept working after they whitelisted my ip.

So this issue seems very specific to TEM

there are but they are pretty niche, so mostly you play against bots or against friends.

This one is the last one I heard of but I also haven't followed the scene much lately: https://store.steampowered.com/app/324810/TOXIKK/

> I believe that people need to realize that their messages were already being logged by many different moderation bots, just not publicized. Unless the messages are end to end encrypted, it was just a matter of time before they were scooped up and archived.

and that makes it ok for you to do aswell? Bots storing all the messages is also not ok, but they also don't publish it, so it is way less problematic

This clearly breaks discord TOS.

I did consent for discord to have my data, I did NOT consent to you having my data.

The discord TOS clearly state: > Our services might also provide you with access to other people’s content. You may not use this content without that person’s consent, or as allowed by law.

As I was not informed of the usage BEFORE it was taken, I could neither opt in nor opt out.

GDPR clearly states, even in the case of "legitimate interest" I have to be informed.

I only found this randomly, but if I hadn't, I had no idea of the data validation happening, so I couldn't opt out.

Technically, cool project. Legally, not so cool.

Discord (Chat in general) is really nice if you are the first to have a problem.

If anyone else has the same problem, they can't find it by just googling tho. So they need to ask the same question again which gets annoying pretty fast unfortunately

Re:A rudimentary simulation of the three-body problem on Wednesday April 03, 2024 @04:41AM (#39914903)
in the novels there are 3 suns, so it is 4 bodies.

The simulation doesn't get easier with 4 tho, so 3 body problem is still a good name. Also the planets mass is "almost" negligible compared to that of the suns, so I assume simulating (+ occasional correcting) 3 bodies is already a good approximation.

Re:How to copy a file between devices? on Thursday February 15, 2024 @08:22AM (#39382352)
On windows I had to explicitly allow the executable in the windows firewall. I didn't get any popups or warnings that it got blocked. After that, it worked fine

When you ship javascript, the Browser already has a lot of the bigger libraries built in. When you ship rust/wasm, you need to ship all of the basic types like Strings, Vecs, + a lot of the std
