Embracing the GC
I never actually liked the GC in D as it didn’t seem to fit in with the general direction of the language, and Walter Bright in D at 20: Hits and Misses says:
Miss: Emphasis on GC
There is also lowendspirit, but in both cases you have to be very careful what you buy - not everything that is advertised there will work as advertised or will work long-term
where they will double your monthly data limit for free when you comment your order number.
where they use you to spam the forum thread (for giving away something rarely anyone has any use for)
So they actually rewrote The Hurd in Rust.
Prepare for a humongous inrush of spam before servers patch this one.
But it’s already patched by GMX and Microsoft.
As far as I understand it, it doesn’t affect single mail servers, but only mail systems where you have separate inbound and outbound servers and the outbound servers trust the data they get from the inbound servers.
Not sure how many get the joke in “Figure 23: Typical Austrian reaction after receiving a spoofed e-mail”:

There is no reason to “hate” Ubuntu but there are better choices.
What are those better choices then (for those who currently use the non-LTS Ubuntu releases and don’t want to move to rolling releases or LTS-only releases)?
I still think Ubuntu is the best option (particularly if you want to use the non-LTS releases)
Having said that I do hate snaps and also dislike flatpaks. So what I do is just use the Firefox deb package from the PPA and the chromium package from Linux Mint. Oh, and I have actually replaced ubuntu-advantage-tools with a no-op dummy package.
Only issue is they’re stored in my server as belonging to the server user (I assume everything in those directories should belong to root and I can just use chown?) But I also don’t know if they retain the same permissions when backed up.
Not everything will be owned by root, and some of the binaries will be setuid or setgid, some might even have extended attributes (e.g. ping will usually have a security.capability attribute). /var
will also have a lot of different owners.
“secure alternative”? Others are not secure?
Pretty much anything that’s only available via an app store. The difference with web apps is that I can also use them on a laptop/PC and I have a bit more control about tracking (by using ad/tracking blockers).
not being forced to have an Android or Apple smartphone, so more open standards and just Web apps instead of proprietary apps
replaced it myself - it’s not actually that difficult to do
I actually replaced the display twice already (got a replacement from Aliexpress for around $16) - first time because the touchscreen failed and second time because I smashed it.

And mainline Linux and a Linux Desktop is still struggling today with power management. Like getting chat messages while it’s asleep.
And the really sad thing is that the power management improvements devs have been working on for the PinePhone are really very specific to that particular device and don’t help mobile Linux in general (so it’s basically wasted effort).
I use them as IMAP storage for a few mailing lists I am subscribed to (but not for my main emails), but they do reject legitimate emails from time to time (not often, but it does happen - and those emails don’t show up in “Spam” or any logs).
I have had pretty good experience with hosting an email server on AlphaVPS, InceptionHosting and just now GreenCloudVPS.
GreenCloudVPS currently have a promotion until Sunday, and there are usually promotions around Black Friday on LowEndSpirit and LowEndTalk
Also the location of known Wifi networks.
