I use posteo.

If you’re thinking of using your own domain, I would suggest using forwardemail.net

I think you meant xmpp

They weren’t.

Google runs it’s own scans against domains.

Yes.

I made the mistake of naming my emby instance https://emby.example.com

On emby, if you don’t have a session cookie, it opens on an authentication page.

I’ve had Google label it as a mitm attack and get labeled malware three times. It gets fixed in a day or two upon review, but all major browsers block it during that time.

Goddamn.

I thought about replying to the wall of text that was entirely lies but just got tired at the thought.

Well done.

When they don’t self report the ones that are bad, they become bad.

How is that concept difficult for you?

Given your posts, I’m thinking you are a cop. This post certainly shows the absolute utter lack of imagination and empathy that cops have.

You should have become a fire fighter if you wanted people to admire your self sacrifice.

I’ve been held at gun point three times in my life.

Every time I was not doing anything illegal or even suspicious. I am white, not that that should make a difference, but we all know it does. EDIT: to be clear, I’m saying cops are racist, and unjustly target minorities.

Each of those three times the person holding the gun was a power tripping asshole cop.

I have been in several dangerous situations where a cop happened by, and just kept on going.

I already live in a world where the police will not be there for me when I need them, and they solely present a danger with no benefit.

You want to see people that are truly guided by a desire to help people? Go to a fire station or a hospital. Cops are not heroes, just assholes that want power over others.

I’m a system admin who self hosts a bunch of shit off of a 48 Ru rack in his washroom.

The internet used to be run off of the collective will of a bunch of people like me. I was there, back when it was FIDOnet and pirate bbs’s.

P.S. while I disagree with your viewpoint, this was a hilarious read, and I didn’t down vote you.

Spoken like someone that is too young to remember what the internet was like before everything got sucked up into google.

The clients are a bit under developed by progressing quickly, and are all open source.

Gajim can, but you have to create it yourself.

Nah, xmpp is better.

I’m a sys admin/devops engineer, and yes, storage is far more expensive then people realize.

This is the very definition of enshittification.

EDIT: To those downvoting:

Do you actually know what the definition of enshittification is? Apparently not.

Enshittification (alternately, crapification and platform decay) is a pattern in which online products and services decline in quality. Initially, vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, then they degrade those offerings to better serve business customers, and finally degrade their services to users and business customers to maximize profits for shareholders.

It doesn’t matter that the cost of storage is a real thing. They gave things of value away for free to grow their user base and to try and capture network effects. Now that they think they have that they are taking away ( or decreasing ) the free stuff of value they gave away.

The fact that storage has value is literally an important part of enshitification.

It wouldn’t be enshitification if they gave away free stuff that wasn’t valuable.

None, anymore.

Eventually you end up with a resume/knowledge that sells itself.

I’m not talking about government jobs that require certain certs, though.

Jmp.chat

It’s amazing how many of those started with Lennart, too.

I’ve been self-hosting a bunch of stuff for over a decade now, and have not had that issue.

Except for a matrix server with open registration for a community that others not in the community started to use.

I was about to answer this, but decided I didn’t want that information in public.

However, the bank I use, which is a largish one, has an app that I’ve installed with the aurora store without microg or google play services on divestos and it complains that it won’t work without gsf, but it works fine after clicking ok.
