ugh, I guess my #GotoSocial does not handle videos very well. But I'm not firing up Peertube for that, and can't upload to yt back :) Whats the solution?

A lot of messaging systems try to reinvent the email system but many (signal, matrix, xmpp) took over one key traditional design which we actually dropped while retaining SMTP/IMAP compatibility: server-controlled identities.

With #chatmail user identities are cryptographic and reside on end user devices only. Servers are only message relays and have no control over identities or chats, only perform fast message routing. See this fosdem talk by one of our lead developers https://mirror.cyberbits.eu/fosdem/2026/ud2218a/3F9VTU-deltachat-chatmail-relays-multi-transport.av1.webm

Does anyone know if Dasung's eink monitors work out of the box on #OpenBSD ? (or, can be gotten working with some config tweaks?)

Experiences with other BSDs or other brands of eink monitor are also welcome. I've heard enough about these being tempermental at times on other operating systems that I'm a bit wary.

Just remembered the occasion when my Youngest child, then aged 8, asked if petrol was vegan.

Their logic was that if it was from the crushed up remains of animals and plants, then it shouldn't be. When a vegan told them that it was ok for a vegan to use petrol they asked how long something had to be dead for before it stopped counting as animal matter.

I would just like to state for the record that the original question was posed before I had drunk any coffee at all and was what instigated the "no questions before coffee" rule.

Hello Fediveres,

I am a 44-year-old software developer who is fed up with meaningless, purely profit-focused work, vibe AI slop, and a Big Brother antisocial networks, that snoops on data at every turn.

I'm looking for a new challenge, true to the motto: #MeaningfulPurposeFirst. Do you have any ideas? Can you help me #boost the word in this great Fediverse?
#FediHire

You are awesome! Thank you so much for all the boosts and the support. Some more details:

If you are going to tonight's 6pm protest in Boston at Park Street, bring friends and mask. Use airplane mode, turn off your phone or don't bring it to disable tracking. Bring a camera if you want to record it. MBTA stations and buses have cameras. Here is an incomplete map of surveillance cameras around Park Street. Get your own map at cctv.masspirates.org

@adele I was reading the page about e-mail on message.casa and your recommendation of POP3 to save server space and it got me thinking about IMAP vs POP3 after years considering POP3 as “that old thing nobody used anymore”.

Seems it was again convenience (sync all devices) and the feeling of falsely “unlimited” storage by Google and friends that trapped us again into yet another dependency.

If you care about stopping US imperialism, you should consider ditching as much US-based tech as possible. This post from @parismarx provides a lot of helpful alternatives and makes it easier to switch: https://disconnect.blog/getting-off-us-tech-a-guide/ #Imperialism #NoWar #BigTech
