  • To be honest it’s mostly FUD. Self host email is perfectly doable provided that:

    • you don’t use your home IP
    • you do DNS records correctly
    • you do DKIM & DMARC correctly
    • you don’t send spam

    What happened to me over the years was having the subnet my ip was is being associated to spammers, and that was a problem. It took several iterations with blacklists and my provider to get it sorted. That’s why I recommend using a reputable service provider that take care of spammers in a timely manner.











  • You actually WANT to be with low free memory. Provided that most of it is used by cache.

    Free memory is a waste, when you could cache stuff for faster access.

    That’s how Linux memory management works, and it make sense if you relflect on it. Better cache that page or that file that is used often, since free memory is just wasted. Cache can be freed and memory reclaimed in a fraction of a millisecond when needed.

    So don’t bother too much. Unless your SWAP usage is high, don’t bother.

    Also consider that Linux kernel will use your swap a bit even if you have lots of cache, because the kernel knows better than you how to improve your performances. Swapping out never used stuff is better than killing cached items.

    Again, don’t oberthink memory on Linux, the best alarm is when swap is constantly happening, then yes you need more ram (or to kill that broken process that keeps hogging due to a bug)

    (Not American here)

    While i agree fediverse is then solution and i don’t use bluesky, i don’t see the issue is recognizing ICE as verified.

    After all ice is a government agency of the USA whether you like it or not, and should be verified if there is a procedure to do so.

    No i don’t like ice and i do not condone what they do, but that doesn’t change the above statement.




  • My recent experience regarding questions on documentation:

    • dovecot: shitty useless responses, totally made up
    • Gentoo linux: to be checked twice and mostly wrong or fake
    • godot: accurate and correct almost always, maybe examples not always 100% correct
    • C++ standard 17: correct, never had a wrong reply from llm, also the exact ples where on point and correct

    I think that’s all what I have used it for in the last six months.

    Note: I used only Google search AI llm, nothing else.

    So it seems that depends on what you ask.



  • While you are correct, as all tools AI is not bad per se.

    If you use ai to replace more lengthy documentation searches and write your own code that works out pretty well and speed up your work without degrading your coding. Granted, I got plainly incorrect answers as well, but at least I managed to be much more efficient.

    Treat LLMs/ai as a glorified documentation aggregator and that’s how you correctly use that tool.

    Like, use a knife to cut and cook meat, not to cut another person body, and that’s how you correctly use that tool too.
