As it should be.

I’m not sure with Tailscale, but in Netbird that’s pretty easy if you already have DNS setup on your local network.

I wish we had Aldi in my area.

I did not realize that, but it also has no real bearing on my point. In a society where those in power face no real consequences from those they have power over, violence is inevitably. We will see more of this as days go on. Its not my intention to make a hero out of the gunman, but rather to remind myself that those in power are the ones that perpetuate this system of violence.

I say we let him and the Citibank executives figure it out in a closed door meeting. He can keep the gun for negotiation purposes.

The parts SBCs use have been hit the hardest in terms of price increases. And mini PCs aren’t a good replacement for the Pi in embedded applications.

Yes, that’s true, but most people aren’t going to host an email server, because it’s a pain(I know, I administrate 3 of them), which means that Google, Apple, Microsoft, Proton, and the other big tech companies will always control the majority of email accounts, and that gives them effective control over the entire network. Our ability to self host servers outside of big techs bubble doesn’t make the bubble go away.

For what reason? Email these days is basically just a machine for marketing and identity verification, and the latter can be done better by other solutions

Plus, despite the fact that email is designed to be open, it has been perverted by big tech into an effectively closed system, as your post makes reference to. I see no real reason to keep email going, when a better less centralized system could be built to replace it.

Might I ask why you think it’s a shit take? I’m genuinely surprised so many people seem to think email needs to be defended

I mean this meme does a good job of explaining my biggest grievance, despite being a theoretically open protocol, it’s been lassoed into a nearly closed network controlled by big tech.

Beyond that, email(SMTP) is nearly 50 years old, and it has anachronistism that show

Outside of corporate life, email in the modern world is basically just a tool for marketing and identity verification, and that sucks, because I remember when it was more than that.

Something new, that doesn’t have the anachronism of a nearly 50 year old protocol.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think there is currently a good replacement, but I think one should be developed.

Its strange you think that I’m siding with a proprietary solution, when email is effectively controlled by major tech companies, which is one of its biggest flaws.

Honestly, it’s way past time to phase out email

I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!

Because they effectively forced everyone to use it by getting rid of the only decent voice assistant.

I’d be willing to bet enough Linux users use anti-fingerprinting tools to make the statistics super inaccurate anyway.

Makes me pretty glad I switched to Tidal
