Lately @mozilla @thunderbird has been a bit ass. It lets spam through to the desktop and mobile client, where other email clients (notably Evolution on Linux) don't. Even though I clearly mark something as spam, I still see it.
And this is even though Gmail itself blocks it and sends it to the spam folder.
I prefer the desktop version for email. But seeing spam just sucks.

I know Firefox has gone all in on AI, a choice I'm against.
Are there plans to integrate it into default Thunderbird or can I count on keeping it out of my email client of choice?
oh god did Qwen vibe code their email password reset because it thinks my email isn't valid so I can't recover whatever my password was (missing from my password manager...)
ffs stop using regex on email you dickheads
hahaha I had Claude comb through their 17MB of minified JS (yes it's that big on this page) to find it
● Excellent! I found it. The verifyEmail function uses a regex pattern to validate emails:
verifyEmail=e=>/^[a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{2,6}$/.test(e)

FreeBSD 15.0 (almost)-RELEASE, using pkgbase, on my Ryzen 9 MiniPC (and compared to openSUSE Tumbleweed):
- Full disk encryption works beautifully via GELI, as usual.
- Installing KDE is easy and it works perfectly on Wayland.
- All my main apps work. Others will run via the Linuxulator or Wine (Linux browsers, WinBox for MikroTik, etc).
- The fan seems more relaxed.
- The system generally feels snappier.
- Native ZFS. I can autosnapshot every 5 minutes. If I try to do this with btrfs - snapshots of the home directory included and quotas enabled - the system hangs while handling them (which is why Tumbleweed doesn’t snapshot home by default).
- The media keys on my keyboard work, but volume control uses huge steps and 30 percent is already extremely loud. This can be fixed. The monitor brightness setting is also a bit off, but I don't care.
- amdgpu works perfectly.
- The wifi card works. I haven’t tested the speed because I immediately installed the realtek-re-kmod driver to use the 2.5 Gbit ethernet connection.
- Suspend doesn’t work. This is a big problem for me. It’s probably more psychological than technical, but I can’t leave the computer powered for hours when I’m not using it. I already have servers running 24/7 here. I even considered putting my Qotom FreeBSD server in a VM. It would probably work, but next summer it might be an issue because temperatures here aren’t low and spinning disks don’t love heat (and I don’t love their noise).
- It’s stable and reliable. I’ve done almost everything and it just works, as expected.
- Some small glitches remain, mostly due to missing configuration or packages (I didn’t tune anything. I just installed it and started using it).
A much smoother experience than a year ago, when I bought it.
Will I keep using FreeBSD on this minipc?
I’m not sure yet, since Tumbleweed works great and the lack of suspend really influences my choice. I'll contact Aymeric and try to offer some help to improve this.
For now, I’ll keep it on an external SSD and switch from time to time, especially when I know I’ll be using the minipc for hours.
I don't know if that's ever been true. I've had the same large workload on identical servers that takes Linux to hundreds or even 1000+ load average but FreeBSD handles it just fine staying under 100
Also FreeBSD can still be ssh'd into when the load average is near 1000, but Linux... good luck. You'll be waiting tens of minutes just for the shell prompt if you can get past the sshd
@feld My impression is that it didn't show up in the ability to process things in bulk - all scheduler stuff - so much as the ability to not use power at idle; think laptop battery life, for example.
But it's been a while since I've spent significant time with FreeBSD in an environment where idle-time power consumption was measurable, let alone mattered.
ooh i forgot to mention this trick I found posted somewhere online
hw.pci.do_power_nodriver=3
put that in your /boot/loader.conf and it will reduce power usage caused by any devices we don't have a driver for
@feld Oh, interesting. I'm curious why that's not a default! I wonder what the best way is to list driverless hardware.
Is this documented somewhere? The default is zero, and if "3" is magic there must be a range of options. Also, must it be in /boot/loader.conf? Seems like it could live in /etc/sysctl.conf, or is that too late?
OH:
Look, if Kubernetes insists on acting like a moody teenage kaiju who needs fifteen YAML scrolls and a blood sacrifice just to deploy a Hello World, then it deserves a nickname like kubey-boi.

• insists on a full 27-layer abstraction stack,
• shows up to your house, rearranges all your furniture, and calls it “desired state,”
• gaslights you with:
“It works on my cluster.”
Richtig toll, was @thunderbird da macht:

This update is available to GrapheneOS users via our app repository and will also be bundled into the next OS release. Vanadium isn't yet officially available for users outside GrapheneOS, although we plan to do that eventually. It won't be able to provide the WebView outside GrapheneOS and will have missing hardening and other features.

A false narrative is being pushed about GrapheneOS claiming we're ending operations in France due to the actions of 2 newspapers. That's completely wrong. If both newspapers and the overall French media had taken our side instead of extreme bias against us, we'd still be leaving.
We're ending operations in France and ending our use of French companies (mainly OVH) to provide services because of direct quotes by law enforcement in dozens of French news publications. Their inaccurate claims about GrapheneOS and thinly veiled threats were our sign to leave.
French law enforcement hijacked the servers of companies selling secure phones multiple times and is comparing us with those companies. They've made it clear they expect access to phones and will go after us if we do not cooperate. Cooperating with that means adding a backdoor.
We were already moving away from OVH over time. We didn't have authoritative DNS or update mirrors on it anymore prior to this. We were only going to be using it for our website/network service instances which are tiny servers with only static content and reverse proxies.
We couldn't see any of the specific claims from French law enforcement until the news stories were published. French law enforcement are wrongly conflating GrapheneOS with products using portions of our code. Claims about our features, distribution and marketing are inaccurate.
French law enforcement brought up SkyECC and Encrochat, two companies they went after with arrests and server seizures. They made it very clear they'll go after us similarly if they're able to conjure a good enough justification and we don't cooperate by providing device access.
Thinly veiled threats from law enforcement are quoted in several of the news article including archive.is/UrlvK. We don't store user data and cannot bypass brute force protection for encryption. Cooperating to provide device access means one thing: encryption backdoors.

They’ve made it clear [they expect access to phones and ...]
How did they make it clear? Can you provide the full quote or reference to the message?
Thinly veiled threats from law enforcement are quoted in several of the news article
Which ones exactly? Unfortunately I don't speak French, but here's what I get with a translator on the reference link:
With this new tool, for some users there is a genuine legitimacy in wanting to protect their communications. The approach is therefore different. But this will not stop us from prosecuting the developers if links are found between them and a criminal organization and they do not cooperate with justice.
Is it a thinly veiled threat, or it could be something else as well, such as simply news coverage and a warning? They clearly acknowledge that "some users ~have a genuine legitimacy in wanting to protect their communications".
I mean I get it if you want to leave France due to *fears*. If and only if you say you're afraid, not that you know for a fact about "thinly veiled threats", "they make it clear", "no open-source privacy project can exist in France" etc. Or if you do know some of it as a fact, then provide proofs, not "we have information that......".
I love how steadily Linux ecosystem gets better and better over the years. I am at an event where I have some spare time in the back of our booth, so I'm slowly installing my new homelab minipc and I needed to provide connectivity to it. I have two network interfaces on my laptop, so I started remembering how to set up routing and dhcp server on the command line, then I remembered it's a workstation, so I need to take care of NetworkManager to not cause any issues, only to find out that there's actually an option called "Shared to other computers" on the interface in NetworkManager GUI, so I ticked it and ... it just works. It started dhcp server and started masquerading the subnet via default route.
Oh, and you can find the leases in "/var/lib/NetworkManager/dnsmasq-<interface name>.leases"

Trans musicians of fedi, I come to you with a plea for help!
Do you have any footage of yourself playing gigs that you 1) have the rights to and 2) would permit the use of?
Can be as short as ten seconds. Big stage, small pub, camera phone or professional cam, doesn't matter, just as long as it it's from a gig and looks the part. Audio not required.
I'm working on a trans-themed music video for a cover song and I'd love to cut a little montage of performances in the last chorus.
If that call speaks to you, I'd be delighted if you replied or DM'd me!
