Self hosting emails is a pain, but I’ve been doing it for almost 2 years and I do not have any of these issues. I’m not an expert either, I just thoroughly followed a tutorial to properly configure dmarc, dkim and everything else and everything just works (I just hope I’m not jinxing it by writing this :D )

There are a few things I don’t like about this scoring system :
- Why is there a “Top Provider Content Share” metric if its gonna score the same as the “Top Provider User Share” every time ?
- Why is the Top Provider Content Share not higher than the user share ? For instance, emails usually have at least one sender and one recipient, making it twice as likely that at least one of them is using gmail. If an email has 10 recipients across 10 different providers, each provider has a copy of the data
- Why is ease of hosting a mail server rated so well ? How is “leveraging email hosting services” decentralized in any way ?
- Why are we using a random repo created a few hours ago by a random github user as a reference ?
- Comment on If we're living in a simulation, why would the simulation creators allow the sims to ponder and speculate whether or not they live in a simulation? 5 months ago:
You’ve probably read about language model AIs basically being uncontrollable black boxes even to the very people who invented them.
When OpenAI wants to restrict ChatGPT from saying some stuff, they can fine tune the model to reduce the likelihood that it will output forbidden words or sentences, but this does not offer any guarantee that the model will actually stop saying forbidden things.
The only way of actually preventing such an agent from saying something is to check the output after it is generated, and not send it to the user if it triggers a content filter.
My point is that AI researchers found a way to simulate some kind of artificial brains, from which some “intelligence” emerges in a way that these same researchers are far from deeply understanding.
If we live in a simulation, my guess is that life was not manually designed by the simulation’s creators, but rather that it emerged from the simulation’s rules (what we Sims call physics), just like people studying the origins of life mostly hypothesize. If this is the case, the creators are probably as clueless about the inner details of our consciousness as we are about the inner details of LLMs

Migrating all my IPv4 stuff (firewalls, VPN, routing tables, etc) to IPv6 is probably the one thing I’ve procrastinated for the most time in my life :/

I wish people would stop recommending cloudflare in self-hosting communities

Thé closing parenthesis got caught into the link (at least with my client), turning it into a 404. You should add a space

This was the first (and one of the few) game I completed to 100%. It took me so long to find the masr warp zone!
