I now have a working self hosted mail server.

Not sure what to do with it. Why did I do that again?

@pre Saving everyone who had the same question as me a few clicks: https://shedrewthegun.bandcamp.com/music :>

@dzwiedziu Ugruntowani? Ugruntowani na czym?

@Rika Considering the history of personalized ringtones I would guess that by 2040 all electric cars will just be vibrating.

Cleaned my laptop after a really long time. I must say the comfiness increased dramatically.

I should do it even less often, so the effect is more pronounced next time.

@chjara@mk.absturztau.be Paxos sucks, slow, complicated, barely scalable. and nonuniform. I would say https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.05156 is much better although I'm biased since I'm working with that.

@chjara@mk.absturztau.be Judeobolshevism was just another Nazi lie. 😿

@moonbolt I've been kind of wondering – what are your perspectives on getting separate bodies? As in, assume perfect transhumanist future and what body setup would y'all pick? This is not really about forms (at least some of you have them mostly described), but what the setup for experiencing the world and each other would be.

I'm not sure whether the question is clear enough, and I really hope it's not too personal. ^^"

Just answering this part, because I have some.. experience.

I suspect something like this:
1. FB almost never uses this part of their infrastructure (since it needs changes only very rarely).
2. The infrastructure is shit and not standardized because of 1.
3. There was some stupid interpretation of `None` (or equivalent, e.g. `[]`) as an argument to a config call (e.g. "make this change in `[]`" meaning "everywhere" instead of "nowhere"; this is based on actual events in another big company).
4. Someone ran something like 3, perhaps automatically, and due to 2 it didn't do the thing they expected.

And bam, global idiotic looking outage without anything particularly mysterious.

@penny Doesn't seem that implausible to me. If you almost never use something the automation around it is shit and probably nonstandard. Combined with the relatively common convention that calling an update function with the equivalent of 'None' for targets meaning you want to update everything this is a recipe for disaster.

Source: I'm aware of at least one outage in a major company triggered exactly by this, but mostly my ass.

@chjara@mk.absturztau.be Way less detailed simulation, almost no NPCs (at least that was the case when I last played, but they were working on adding some). Other than that slightly similar feel, but not really close.

I would still really recommend it, it's fun.
