This is a good example. I just came to say looking at the doc is going to take over 5 mins.

I mean at least initially with things like nightmare host (im making a joke im not sure if dreamhost is still around) you did not need to mess with the mx records if you just went with their built in. We definately had some issues with email getting marked spam or blocked but admitadely that could have been from the services source servers having to much spam coming from it.

yeah but so thats the thing. that service still is the one running your email and its likely you are going to get more issues with it being blocked just from being an little used domain. unless you run your own server and deal with the mx records and such.

My problem is the whole change of address thing. Unfortunately google had perfect timing when they offered a decent amount of storage. It was early enough that changing email was no big deal and late enough that soon it would be. I very much don’t like this because if google like just went dark all of a sudden it would be a bad day. Yeah I know its unlikely to the xtreme but still. I know privacy people do not like this idea but I really would like the government to run an email where all citizens are guaranteed one. To me this would make it much easier to have an official one and other emails. I don’t get why folks are ok with corporations doing it and trust that they will use safeguards but don’t trust the government would. The US postal service is a good example. Laws were well made to protect mail to the point where one way of safeguarding things from police searches was to put it in a stamped envelope. Man I wish our current society and government would be doing things like that again.

I loved when it was redesigned for lcd’s. move the screen anywhere you want.

I did a thing like this but with a ios command that wrote the disk to image and piped it to ssh but then piped it back to a waiting drive. It was great as you could pull the disk and boot right off it. Do you know if that can be done with dd?

sigh. im no sure why my initial thing is not clear. I was saying it would be great if posts from a community was spread out so that when going through your feed you see a greater vareity rather than seeing them clumped up. this is not about not wanting to see particular things. A cat community will have cat pictures. if I did not want to see them I could block the community from all. but I like cat pictures as much as the next person. pets are cute. if posts are put by one person all at the same time though then you get a bunch in a row as opposed to intersped between communities. So the tool from the original post seemed cool and I am hoping folks use them if so inclined. thats all.

well so you could have several cat pictures lets say but they are not of the same cat and its not doing the same thing or many various articles about trump. different things and actions. one about the trial another about greenland another about immigrants, etc. no direct duplicates just causes the feed to be streaky.

sorry was not talking dupes just many posts like pictures of the same type or 6 news articles in a row or whatnot.

yeah don’t misunderstand. its a nicety but beggars can’t be choosey type of thing. Quality posts are a gift so I don’t mean to quibble about the packaging :)

depends on how concerned you are with the recievers. its nice when going through a feed to have topics spread out. at least to me. im much more likely to start just scrolling past more things when clumped together but if spread out then they get a bit more attention. That could just be me though.

so does this mean post dumps can be spread out? If so I hope some mods use it as it would help for each post to be like once an hour rather than half a dozen all at once.

yeah still seems better than its saved on my server.

So these things always get me confused because I swear there was a neat electron thing in the single digit two thousands that was a small project and really cool and I keep on expecting this to be the grown up version but when I look it up they seem to have nothing to do with each other. I can’t even find the thing I remember from early in the millenium.

at first I thought this required hosting but it looks like maybe its stand alone software now. Am I right or did I misunderstand the site?

congrats. If I ever even modified code taken up in the free software architecture I would be ecstatic.

ouch. this hits to close.

isn’t like the whole federation thing about less algorithm more personal power.

I like that and am going to steal it.

as my pay has gone down relative to inflation the amount of fucks I give goes down.
