Re:Why can't India's government build a decent website? on Monday June 29, 2026 @03:26PM (#48723914)
The UX4G main site is partially broken for me
The E2EE behind Tuta Mail and Proton Mail are designed around vendor lock-in. While I understand the reasoning behind the decision, it means that they were never meant to be truly "open source".

Proton Mail supports PGP encryption for external communications, but I believe Proton Mail Bridge still blocks users from sending PGP encrypted emails.

The vendor lock-in is so bad that some Proton Official Emails (specifically Zendesk Support and Standard Notes) still don't use any form of E2EE (not even PGP).

If you're interested in E2EE emails that you can host yourself, I recommend looking into Delta Chat (chatmail) and the smtp-e2eesign draft.

Have you looked into using DynamicUser [0] with {Cache, Logs, State}Directory [1]?

I'm trying to make custom firmware archives for hardware that I use, but the docs are a bit confusing in some places.

This is probably a good place to mention that wintab32 events currently don't work with WINE.
I was considering making something like this. Might look into buying this to save some time.

I've heard that a lot of parents don't like the current principal of the school (TJHSST) for a multitude of reasons. I wouldn't be surprised if those quotes are accurate.

As for everything else, I feel like things aren't as clear cut as the post portrays it as.

Is there any way to make custom types using pgx?

Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?
Re:Flares – CloudFlare DNS backup tool on Friday October 19, 2018 @12:58PM (#18258085)
Nice. I just backup the DNS records manually (https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/ZONE_ID/dns_recor...) but this seems like it would be useful too
