Syncthing is great, but no good for mobile devices if you want to store and access lot of large files - it syncs everything, and last I checked, the features to prevent that were depreciated.


I did the same thing some years ago. I chose purelymail[0] as the MX for my personal domain and would recommend. The only issue is that it's so cheap, and my credit lasts so long, I forget that it is in fact a paid service and that I do actually need to make a payment from time to time...

How do you like the RoundCube webmail UI?


It's redundant by now, but performative cruelty is the whole point.


My experience also. Kent is obviously very committed to the project.


FWIW, I've done a few bcachefs bug reports and thought Kent's responses were great.


I should not have implied that every bug report would be a bad interaction - and to be fair where I've seen it degenerate in the mailing list, it's often the other person wasn't exactly civil to start with (which unfortunately includes Linus Torvalds). It's just that Kent seems to feel the need to fight back.


A file system is an emotional investment of a decade+ so I can understand Kent's desire to defend it the way he does.

That said the kernel is the bigger picture, if he wants it to be successful and remain in mainline he needs to adapt to how Linus expects maintainers to operate. That probably means delaying getting fixes to mainline users until he can show they have been adequately tested. Until that trust is built bcachefs is always a few bad cycles away from being dropped from mainline.


Linus can be a bit of a dick sometimes (and hey, so can I), but he's not prone to being rash or a petty tyrant. He just rides people a bit hard.

Following process to the letter isn't what we should be doing right now; this isn't the time for slowing down to cross every t and dot every i, this is the time for getting fixes pushed out quickly so we can move on to the next thing.

But things have also been stabilizing dramatically, it's already looking like I'll have a lot less out of merge window stuff to send this cycle (there wasn't much that I would've sent last cycle, either).

So things should be pretty well calmed down.


Have you tried Kagi? It's not "peak Google", but at least I don't miss it so much anymore.


I switched back to the arch default kernel for my 32TB home media server, would you recommend going back to compiling your kernel for the time being?


Not unless you've been hitting a bug you need the fix for


Firefox on Android's URL bar still, in 2023, does not understand IPv6 addresses. So, unfortunately, there are still reasons to use Chrome. I use the Bromite f-droid repo but it hasn't had a new build since 2022. I'd like to see this project take off!


Do you know this is exactly how it works in most first world countries already? (except for the health insurance bit, because most first world countries have a public health system). Part-time workers get holiday pay, sick leave, and every entitlement of full-time workers, at a rate commensurate with their hours.


It's pretty obvious that bluesky is mostly handwaving around decentralization and federation. It will all go in the too hard basket once the service gains critical mass.

Another VC-funded bait and switch; nothing to see here.
