  • I was on one of the last few planes into Italy before they locked it down. I did not keep up with the status, so I arrived with tape on the floors everywhere, noone around, just confused on how to act now. Went home and started to keep track of the graphs and numbers of the spread.

  • Not a "full-blown Nazi", and not even "far-right" by the public service broadcasting, in the nordic countries also includes people who were nazi skinheads, wrote celebratory opinions about literal Nazis, photographed themselves with literal Nazis, joined Nazi parties started by literal Nazis, sings Nazi songs, are personal friends with well recognized Nazi music groups, as long as you deny it ever happened. Just to give some context.

  • You are not uploading, others are downloading. The direction of traffic is the same, but the incentive is different.

    Before torrents, there were services where you just announced "there are all my files just download what you want" and some places had quotas on how much you should make available for download. People were sharing all kinds of random trash and also downloading that trash.

    A joke was -- was it on like bash.org? -- that you have some file you want to backup, you have to make people want to download it, so you just call it leaked_celebz_nudez.zip or something and it would be downloaded forever, even if it did not work because so much trash was shared and if could help your quota.

    So you'd have to use the strategy in that joke. Make a torrent of your stuff, just encrypted so it is trash for anyone who wants to download it, but you'd have to make the torrent content so imcredibly desireble that even if the comments and ratinfs of the torrents goes to shit, people will still be downloading it in the hope it works. What would be that desireable though, I do not know.

  • The same strategy was used in Sweden. Say they are right in their worldview, adopt very similar policies. All the rightwing parties (christians, liberals, conservatives) except one now collaborate with them and defend them.

  • I used to use WindowMaker as my windowmanager, there was a setting which had the comment "this is annoying", which unless used, wm context menus may be rendered off screen, which is really fucking annoying. I was disrohopping a lot at the time, so it was always "install windowmaker, turn on 'annoying' setting"

  • That is almost what they are doing... The US embassy have been sending out letters asking all kinds of places in like Europe and Austrailia that they should follow Trumps executive orders. So I mean... Yeah. Maybe BBC also have gotten some letters.

  • They are not strictly "selling" it, right? They charge a service fee for a request of public information. At least in part that is because these shitty companies cost a lot because of all their shitty requests so they can sell the information for profit.

    Setting up your own e-mail/smtp for alerts?

    Hi,

    I'm looking for some way to send my own alerts via e-mail in some way. Whenever I try to search for this, most docker images have a much grander goal, and I have a hard time understanding how to use them for my purpose.

    What would I want? It'd be nice to have a docker running some smpt-server (I suppose), so that I can make my own python script that scrapes a website, looks at some metric, and e-mails me whenever whatever I'm looking for is found. I only want it to be available on and to receive mails from localhost, no dns, just forward e-mails to my personal one, no web-interface, etc.

    I'm quite new to self-hosting, but I hope you still understand what I'm looking for. Is it possible? Should I look for another solution? Will this not work? Any help/input very much welcome.
