Does that mean the copilot key behaves like a key-combination? Sounds like it but maybe I’m misunderstanding.

Standard procedure, no? We used to map non-standard keys back in the days. I’d probably map it to Super and use it for my key combinations for my most used software.

To my understanding, these are confirmed vulnerabilities and have been resolved in 7.1. I have not checked all of them but didn’t find any CVEs without a note on the fixed kernel version.

Moved to Apple Music after Rogan started airing on Spotify. Hence Apple Music on the phone, streaming through Cider on Arch otherwise

Edit: I could not work with local files or my own file server because of the breadth and amount of music I listen to. I’d have to have a massive collection and constantly keep buying 🤑

Same in Germany but I agree nonetheless. Where there’s people, one (including me) should drive responsibly. It’s no different from car driving. We don’t speed in a narrow alley either.

On flat terrain, 40 kmh are no problem for a road bike. Downhill, one reaches 60 without much difficulty.
Beyond the possibility of crashing, the fact that car drivers underestimate cyclists’ speed is actually quite a danger.

I’m rarely ever going below 21 kmh average (!) on my 16km commute. Of course I am going slow where it’s necessary and dangerous and try to be as responsible as possible. Nobody wants to get hurt. But using 20 km/h speed limits beyond local hot spots would be very unrealistic given a road bike easily reaches 40+ kmh on flat terrain without a mandatory speed gauge. And the latter is also a crucial obstacle. How should speed limits be enforced when people are not forced to mow their speed? And if they are not, what’s a number on a sign worth? I am guessing not much.

In general, setting up a client with POP3 rather than IMAP will move all the emails from the inbox to the client. Once they are in the client you can decide how to backup the archive, there’s plenty of options with varying performance and memory footprint. That sounds pretty much like what you would like to do in general.

Just for completeness: That of course also means that syncing to several devices and backups are now your problems to solve.

In any case, the initial download will take a long time either way if you have 20+ years and 10s of GBs of data. No way around that.

I don’t think you are paranoid. This technology is creepy as hell. Almost all cars are connected nowadays and send data back to the manufacturer’s server—visible or not. In the best case it’s just the service history, in the worst case live positions and more. Some cars stop working if the server is shut down *cough. Cameras equipped to unlock based on a face record biometric data. And honestly, would you trust your car manufacturer (!) to handle your biometric data?

Jolla phone + the other half?

Fair enough. But then let actual political measures do the job rather than cries for media censorship. 🤷🏼‍♂️

No. Russia has for good reasons been sanctioned and monetary transfers can not and should not be done. I am not in favor of easing that financial restriction.

 

I am planning to host a test instance of discourse for an NGO I volunteer for on my VPS. It is supposed to accompany an event with around 100-150 participants so I expect some traffic over the weekend of the event. The only unanswered question I currently have is the mail setup. I considered self-hosting the SMTP relay myself but found a lot of recommendations to rather outsource it to an external service. I have thus been wondering if there are recommendations for an SMTP relay service? GDPR compliance on a European server is a must. Ideally, it would be inexpensive, easy to cancel, or even free as I am planning to take the instance down after the event and learn from the experiences and comments of the users.

Any ideas or recommendations? Thanks in advance!
