is selfhosting public stuff like XMPP, Email, ActivityPub, on a homeserver good for privacy? in c/[email protected]

That's just not true. It is, some might say, ridiculously hard to do because these days there are so many i's to dot and t's to cross, but it's not impossible. A friend hosts his domains' email at home.

Finding a web host, avoiding Cloudflare (lemmy.ml)
 

How the heck do I avoid Cloudflare when selecting a web host, please? I was considering getting a DigitalOcean “droplet” and running something in that, but I’m pretty sure they’ll be inside Cloudflare’s evil embrace.

I asked in what I thought was an obvious place but was met by bewildered looks.

I suppose executing recruitment agencies is out of the question?

Ban ATS' (seriously, how could centralising all of everyone's personal information ever go wrong?!)

Have competent people working in Personnel departments (and thank you, I am not a Human "Resource", that's just your slave master mentality shining through)

And, yeah, executing recruitment agents. Sorry, but it has to be done, for the future of humanity. (Or maybe it doesn't? Are they actually able to interbreed with human beings?)

In other words they're testing what the Zurich city public transport system has been doing for years (as well as trams taking power from overhead cables, some bus routes do too)?

Controlling heating (lemmy.ml)
 

I have a (non-automated) gas fired boiler supplying my heating. It comes on before I wake up so the house is nice and warm for me when I crawl out of bed.

I also like the bedroom to be warm at night when I go to bed, so the radiator is on in the bedroom.

What I don't like is waking up in a room that's too hot.

So is there some way of controlling the TLV on my bedroom radiator, maybe turning it down overnight? I know I could just remember to turn it down when I go to bed, but the plain fact is that I don't.

Oh goody. My nightmare of someone turning up on my doorstep and saying "Hi Dad" just got one step closer.

Even supposedly educated people don't get it. My doctor wanted me to send him some health information by email a month ago. It's a good job my blood pressure is under control or I might have exploded.

Need community feedback on this issue: Should posts / communities be blanked out after being removed? in c/[email protected]

I was thinking that if the police or someone like that got involved then it would be better to have the entire unaltered thing available, so that rather than delete it from the db it should just not appear in the front end.

Might you not want to be able to preserve the offending post so that the poster can be brought to justice?

Split Window (lemmy.ml)
 

I know how to split windows (C-x 2 or C-x 3), and I know I can give a C-u number precursor to that to make the new window have that many lines, but is there (simple) way to "split window at current point", which... does what it suggests (splits the window at the line where the cursor is)? I can't find it, but it seems like a glaring omission if it's not something that's available. So glaring I might need to mark this post as NSFW so I can fill it with swearing.

K-9 Mail replacement? (lemmy.ml)
 

I've been using K-9 for some years now. Today, some idiot (i.e. me) decided to update it through F-Droid. The new version is.... horrible. It feels like MS Lookout or some such sh...thing.

Can anybody suggest a replacement that just does basic email and doesn't have some kind of "slick" UI? Thanks.

How to re-jig screens when I disconnect one (lemmy.ml)
 

Setup: Ubuntu, Openbox, notebook, occasionally an external screen.

I've set things up so that if an external monitor is attached when I start my notebook, a script (run by Openbox's autostart), xrandr makes that the primary monitor.

What I'd like to do is run that script when I turn off or otherwise disconnect that external monitor, so that I can make the notebook's built-in screen the primary again. Does anyone here have any ideas how to do that automatically?
