Re:Stalwart v1.0: The Fastest Mail Server on the Planet on Tuesday October 27, 2026 @06:11AM (#50256852)
Running a stalwart mail server since a few months for all my personal mails. I have auto dns configured and let stalwart handle all the dns stuff. Never had any issues. Last thing I needed to fix for perfect spam recognition: Switching from systemd resolve to unbound for dns resolution, which enables spamhouse & co. spam checking in stalwart. Before I had quit a few false-positives and false negatives. Switching to unbound fixed this.

Check bulwark mail: https://bulwarkmail.org

It already has stalwart 1.0.0 support ...

From their website: "Webmail for Stalwart Mail Server.

Bulwark puts mail, calendar, contacts and files in one browser client that talks JMAP to your own server."

Good argument. In the end we are all ignorant opportunists.
Clever move.

Maybe the/a big "selling point" for python is the fact, that many teachers don't know better.

Not to forget "The Beam" - especially gleam!
Thats why I use vaultwarden. I also like the fact, that vaultwarden is written in rust and does not consume a lot of resources, which is great for selfhosting.

AI is good in generating a lot of spaghetty code.

Bodyless classes only for carrying annotations... too much magic for my taste.

Re:Putting Gemini to Work in Chrome on Thursday January 29, 2026 @03:36AM (#46807364)
One more reason not to use chrome. I don't want this AI bloat. And for sure I don't want to redirect my personal website content through googles privacy sucking data pipelines.

What I just discovered: The good old google search without AI bloat but with privacy via https://www.startpage.com. Highly recommended!

Adding "No smalltalk and no emojis" to the instructions helps a lot.

Re:I replaced Windows with Linux and everything's going great on Saturday January 10, 2026 @12:05PM (#46567503)
I switched from Windows to Linux ~20 years ago because and never came back to Windows. First years I used Ubuntu and experimented with Xubuntu, Lubuntu etc. Later went to Fedora Linux with Gnome Desktop which is still my preferred Linux Distribution. Nice to see so many people thinking about free and open alternatives to big tech!
Re:ChatGPT Health on Thursday January 08, 2026 @07:14AM (#46540172)
I'd rather not talk to a commercial LLM about personal (health) details. Guess how they will/do try to make this completely overhyped chat bots profitable. OpenAI could sell relevant personal health related data to insurance companies, or maybe the hr department of your next job. Just saying...

Re:Parental Controls Aren't for Parents on Friday January 02, 2026 @04:15PM (#46469437)
Young kids exposed to overly attracting games cannot limit these activities by themselves. This has nothing to do with a lack of explanation, but rather with how the brains of young kids function. Thus, accessible parental controls with a simple mechanism that limits the access to games, blocks ads, disables marketplace access and sets a maximum gaming time per day are a much-needed tool that parents should have in their hands.
Re:Parental Controls Aren't for Parents on Friday January 02, 2026 @04:03PM (#46469318)
> Companies generally want good parental controls

Nope, parental controls are fucked up since ages. And this is by design, and not because of some "b-list developers".
