Thanks for you reply! It’s good to hear that.

As I said (maybe here or elsewhere), I can understand that China can feel like the better alternative considering where the USA are at (and going).

So he was definitely in academia very literally

Sure, but my statement was about how I find this music, meaning I don’t listen to it because of highbrow academia. It gives me joy like a piece of noisy Jazz can (granted, many Jazz listeners are also pretty highbrow about it), or even some hardcore punk. The fact that he managed to convey this through sheets rather than recordings is remarkable though. And of course my full respects to the pianist here.

The Études draw from a diverse range of sources, including gamelan, African polyrhythms, Béla Bartók, Conlon Nancarrow, Thelonious Monk, and Bill Evans. (…) this rhythmic complexity

Yeah, this.

Steve Reich is pretty good too.

Conlon Nancarrow I never heard of, maybe I should check them out.

“Most of the world” is not electing a dictator anyway. It’s not a mask to take off but a dangerous development to counter.

short enough of water.

Why not astroturf then! I read many comments by Martians recommending it.

I don’t find this stuff highbrow or academic.

What? Disk encryption is definitely “allowed”, and yes, that is how you should do it. It’s not “cumbersome” either, most installers have a GUI for that, and if Hetzner offers preconfigured images, full disk encryption is probably one of the offers.

I am now convinced that you are a little overwhelmed by the thought of managing a VPS. That is totally OK! But don’t go talking out your ass because of it.

Of course. But that’s par for the course 🤷

An Appeal on Behalf of Extremely Rich People

No you didn’t. It’s not going anywhere, but it will always be a minority compared to SAAS.

It is. But now I want cooking-related metaphors for the relentless attacks coming in from everywhere, the need for encryption etc. Please.

How much fuel did it consume on 100km?

It’s true, such cars were not fabled, but rare and never advertised as they would have deserved. I once drove a 1980s Diesel Opel station wagon a few hundred kilometers to haul some stuff, mostly on the motorway, mostly very conservative driving, and it used 3 liters / 100km.

Looks like it. On Debian, it’s part of the fonts-linuxlibertine package, and Linux Libertine O would be the accompanying serif font. This is how they look together:

But if you get a VPS then you are self-hosting, so Immich is an option again?

If you need to have a so-called one-click solution, Zeitkapsl looks interesting (EU, yay) I guess.

And a general question, if you use SSL everything is encrypted anyhow? Or is the advertised E2EE something on top of that, which might be necessary if you don’t have your own certificate or don’t run your own server?

Also, “Tot”? You wrote it twice so I’m guessing it’s not just a typo?

The Internet Research Agency is hiring

The “From” part is configurable per specification, it’s called identities. Good email clients will have config options for that.

But there’s an extra part that the server needs to provide so that Google doesn’t think you’re doing something “nefarious” (read: using email as it’s intended to be used but not as Google wants it to be used).

Huh. Sounds a lot like Thee Oh Sees. Are they related?

Listening for a bit longer, it seems to be a style. West coast something something I guess.

Properly set up, it’s more than a vanity project - it’s an eternal email address.
Because, properly set up, you can also send mail from that address (or at least that’s how it appears to recipients).

Another email provider fucks you over? NP, just point your redirecting address somewhere else.

As someone who’s been using a similar service for over a decade, the end user and both providers need to set the thing up properly. Thankfully mine is dedicated.

So, you should check with linux.com (?) how serious they are about it (edit: according to the screenshot above, not very), if you want to use this seriously.

CBD’s THC content varies a lot; maybe the label on your bottle can tell you something? Could just be alphanumerical classification codes.

But please also consider that Correlation does not imply causation.

Yeah despite having lots of neoliberals (pro business basically) and other forms of *cough* conservatism, people still believe in the democratic process and regulations. It’s not getting better though, there’s a plague going 'round the globe…
