I recently set up the whole stack (Postfix, Dovecot, OpenDKIM) on a VPS. I wanted to do it from home, but my ISP won't provide a static IP or open ports 25/465/587 for consumer customers, no exceptions.

It took me about two days to get everything working, but most of that was because I went in with very little knowledge of how email even actually works. If you're looking for a learning experience, I'd say go for it. If you just want a working email setup quickly, I wouldn't recommend it.

I haven't noticed any deliverability issues so far. Just make sure you have SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and PTR records all set correctly from the start.

I was wondering the same thing. I checked my email, and over the past month I've received an email about policy changes from:

Discord
Anthropic (Claude)
Nintendo
YouTube
Meta
Airbnb
Microsoft

I don't think it can be just a coincidence. At least a couple of them specifically mention the UK’s Online Safety Act so maybe that's the reason?

Even if most of the time they might not benefit anyone, it takes like 30 seconds tops to add one so why wouldn't we. They can also be easily generated with AI, one of the actually useful use cases for it.

Depends who you ask I guess, but at least Tor isn't illegal there, is it?

Running a Tor relay, even an exit node, is not illegal in most jurisdictions. However, exit node operators may receive a large number of abuse reports and legal threats, which they must properly answer to avoid further trouble and that's why it's not recommended for the individuals to run an exit node.

For those living under authoritarian regimes where Tor might be illegal, the risks are obviously significantly greater.

Not really, as long as you don't run an exit node

The internet got way more complicated since then with all the dynamically loaded and generated content. I don't think the plugin would work very well these days.

It's a-me, Mario!

From Assassin's Creed 2. Might be known from some other game too, I dunno.

Android wants to automatically add a "." to the end of a sentence if I double space too fast

If using GBoard, that can be disabled in settings. I don't know anyone who actually uses that feature, I don't know why it's enabled by default.

One of the reasons why videos don't work well in Lemmy is that many instances have not configured their setup correctly for video streaming.

Not intentionally, but in high school we had a test on identification of flowers and plants. The teacher was an older man and he wasn't good with computers. He was showing pictures from the computer using video projector but didn't realize that Windows was displaying the filename of each picture in the title bar and each picture was named e.g. "daisy.jpg". Almost the whole class got full marks on the test except for the unlucky few who sat in the back row and had poor eyesight.

 

Finland headed to the polls on Sunday to elect thousands of councillors in a range of local and regional bodies.

The Social Democrats took a big win in the municipal elections, taking nearly one in four votes nationwide to push the National Coalition Party of Prime Minister Petteri Orpo into second place.

In the county council elections, for 21 regional bodies that arrange social and healthcare outside Helsinki, the SDP also topped the poll. The Centre Party recorded a good result in its rural heartlands to secure third spot.

Government parties did poorly, with all but the NCP losing support compared to the previous municipal elections in 2021. Turnout in the municipal election was 54.2 percent, while the county elections saw 51.7 percent of eligible voters cast their ballots.

The dual vote for municipal and county councils caused logistical issues for election officials, with counting slower than usual for Finland, where large numbers vote in advance and results are usually clear within a couple of hours of polls closing.

The Finns Party saw support collapse compared to the last municipal election, with the party nearly halving its vote from four years ago. They lost support in several towns that are seeing hospital services cut back as part of the central government's savings drive.
