That’s the joke, but it’s really not true.

You can write unintelligable code in most languages.

Perl’s syntax is fine, and you can write beautiful code with it - but it will also let you write fugly code that works.

I think those who say this seriously just don’t understand Perl, or even programming generally. (Whilst I like Perl, I’m also proficient in C, Java, JS, Python, PHP, Bash and probably a few more, so I’m not just promoting the only thing I know.)

Perl. Its installed everywhere I need to run it and stuff I wrote over 20 years ago is still doing exactly what it should.

Name the decade without naming the decade.

Poor lass. I don’t think it was very easy being her.

They probably still have it. I did a gdpr request then overwrote and deleted all my posts. Then deleted my 11 year account. A couple of weeks later I got the request contents, which contained every post, every comment and every DM I ever made. Reddit does not delete when it’s supposed to.

As long as you set up SPF and DKIM records on your mailserver, you’ll never get marked as spam.

Sorry - that’s factually incorrect. If your IP is on a residential block, you’ll be downscored. If you’re on a dynamic IP, same again, but weighted even more harshly, by pretty much every antispam service. In addition, every commercial service is very secretive about what methods they use, for good reason, so you cannot claim with any accuracy that “you just need to do this $thing to get read”. (Although I do agree the original post is not well researched, knowledgeable nor particularly useful to anyone)

SPF and DKIM are essential to getting your email out, but it’s not the only thing, and sometimes no matter what you do do, your hit rate is going to be low.

Source: Me. Been running mail servers privately and commercially for over twenty years. Before then, I ran fidonet and netmail services through the 90s and into the tail end of the 80s. There’s many things I know bugger all about, but email is not one of them. (And if anyone’s interested what I do for personal email now - I use gmail, because it works and maintaining it is somebody else’s problem)

AI’s been in use in commercial anti-spam for quite a while now - and on the flip side is also being used by the spam senders. Just another front on the unending war.

But spam (and phishing, and all malware) happens because humans get fooled by it. No reason to think AI will be any smarter.

War for the overworld. I have thousands and thousands of hours logged.

Run the cables more neatly.

Feddit.uk - I figure regionality has benefit in keeping loads more spread, plus it hosts some good communities and a cute name.

Same! HA is a really interesting thing to get into. I moved to it from Domoticz, which is easy to get going but you hit some hard limits after a while.

Bitwarden’s great, and I use it myself. But for a company with groups, “secure” sharing and so on, it just doesn’t compete on the features. But even so, LP’s card is marked for us.

I use epshome. Not a big poster, but happy to join.

Agree totally. A great project that just works. Love it

My employer users Lastpass, a commercial solution. That hasn’t been a good experience, with downtime, forced re-passwording and worst, having our details stolen from them.

I agree, the parasitic nature of this relationship has been sharpened in the past week and made many of us think more critically of it.

My question is - what happens if several significant FOSS projects change their licence to “Sources must be publically available if repackaged” or even “Cannot be packaged for sale”, specifically to prevent a non-freely available distro profiting from it.

Yes, that distro could fork the software at the point before the new licence is applied, but they they would be responsible for maintaining that fork going forwards, no? And that would take a lot of resources and need it to be called something else.

I moved from Onenote to Joplin, and it’s been faultless. I’m using a free dropbox account for syncing and that works fine too.
