Gestern ein bisschen spontan den Umzug von Gmail zu @Tutanota vollzogen. Abgesehen von den Herzschlagmomenten beim Umzug der Domain samt DNS-Einstellungen, war das initial ganz erfolgreich.
Nicht ganz so geschmeidig ist der Workflow - Tuta reagiert an allen Ecken und Enden behäbiger, der Spam-Filter sortiert gerne echte Mails aus, aber belässt massig Spam im Posteingang. Und auch die Farbgebung ist nicht ganz meine…
Aber vielleicht gewöhnt man sich aneinander und alles wird gut 🌈☀️
I had a cheeky comment prepared for today, saying that you shouldn't rely on Cloudflare if you can afford it, and that you don't truly self-host when you use it, but I could not post it because one of the services I don't self-host —my Mastodon instance— depends on #Cloudflare, too. 😅
Friends don't let friends disable TLS server verification. (#curl is used, but the check is explicitly disabled by the app)
@fireborn Leaving to where? I ditched Spotify for Tidal, but Tidal is so much worse; I'm sorry, I went back. Spotify's GUI, especially on the phone, also with my vision rest, is the nicest, imo. I don't have an Apple device; otherwise, I'd probably be using Apple Music, but I can't get it to run on my Windows PC either and won't have a half mess just to figure out how I eventually could (MS Store version doesn't work). Nothing much left. Qobuz is basically Tidal, maybe a bit more stable, but they all have no features, too. I didn't care about crossfade when I was at Tidal, but now I'm back on Spotify, I wouldn't want it off; it's just nice.
And don't get me wrong, I totally get the problem here, but I'm sick of taking drawbacks and weird flaws, in terms of accessibility or elsewhere, just to enjoy my music. Call me egoistic, but then I don't care that much apparently.

On occasion, I feel some trepidation about no longer putting Cloudflare in front of most of my services for protection. Then today happens and it all just goes away.
I guess the internet needs another Cloudflare so Cloudflare has somewhere to host its status page.
I am thrilled to share the news that I joined @Mastodon's leadership team as Community Director alongside @mellifluousbox, our new Executive Director, and @renchap, our Technical Director.

Cloudflare seems to be having some kind of oopsie (it's probably DNS. It's always DNS) right now.
When you click on the link on their error page, it takes you to a page that says “Do you have a website? Anybody that runs a website should be on the Cloudflare network.”
Uh, read the room, #cloudflare. When people are trying to find out why your product has shit the bed, that's not really the time to make with the marketing copy about how they really really should be using it.

@gnome is cozy computing.
Adwaita apps are calm, focused, consistent. Tasks can often be done offline. Even badges for unread notifications are tinted blue and not red.
Non core apps are maintained by indie developers scratching their own itch. With GNOME Circle, a community of more experienced people help review and polish them.
GNOME is the village of Gauls peacefully resisting the Big Tech Empire with its sole existence.
I can't believe I have to say this once again, but not using AWS or Cloudflare doesn't mean your service won't go down as often.
It's just that nobody cares if the website of some little shoe manufacturer in Wyoming goes down, but everybody cares if all the websites go down *at once*. This is true even if, statistically speaking, CF / AWS go down less often than some little server located in a basement.
The old internet wasn't more resilient, your downtime on the old internet was just less corelated with everybody else's downtime, which made it less visible, and hence psychologically less of a problem.
Without CF (or somebody like them), there's no freedom of speech on the internet. If you say the wrong thing, your critics can just DeDoS you until you go away, and there's very little you can do about it. If you aren't rich enough to afford DeDoS protection, you have to be very careful when working against people who have more money than you do. This was a somewhat common occurrence back in the day, and the emergence of big social on one hand and CF on the other eliminated that problem entirely.
We should be really thankful for everything CF has done for the internet. Not every private company is as evil as people want you to think.

@midzi Which is honestly why most people are much better off with a SaaS, even if they're technically competent and perfectly capable of managing their own server.
I know why this isn't the right approach for you (storage space, a different point on the time vs. money tradeoff than most commercial organizations), but that's an exception that proves the rule.

Mozilla can't imagine a web without AI.
So I imagine there soon is going to be a web without Mozilla.
Why would anyone, at this point, use Firefox over Chrome?
Diehards like me are absolutely disgusted with the AI BS Mozilla is pushing down everyone's throats, to just mention one thing. We will find a fork, or eventually hopefully a new independent browser.
Anybody else doesn't give a fsck so why would they use a cheap Chrome knock-off Mozilla made Firefox into, if they can get the real deal for free?
Well done Mozilla. You outplayed yourself.
Mozilla is the browser vendor equivalent of centrist political parties.
> We can do whatever the fsck we want because who you gonna vote for, the actual far-right?
> Also, we need to try to out-far-right the far-right because that's where the voters are!
And then there's the inevitable surprised pikachu face when people just don't choose them.
Either because they vote for the actual far-right, not the cheap centrist knock-off; or because they refuse to make a choice between shit and crap.
