I've been using migadu for a year-ish, its a nice website. For only 20$ a year I don't think I've ever noticed down time and almost never received spam.
I'm looking forward to them deploying 'Alps' their new UI I've been using it on my self-hosted mail and its pretty sweet.
I wish there were more roles for elixir newbies/general newbies out there. I've been learning some elixir basics and it seems like itd be a tonne of fun to work with.
Element isnt paid?
It has paid hosted options if you want your own synapse server, but the free version has always been there and if you're using discord why care that you dont have your own domain for your matrix community
On discord, communities (or as they call it servers) will typically have many different channels. From my understanding you'd need your own domain to replicate that on element. Eg. #memes:ultimatefrisbee.pt
If its deployable and tested in a docker container its much easier to generate user images, it takes the onus away from the user and the developer can just put it on the aur/publish a deb
Isn't it vice-versa? It's hard from a legal point of view to spy on one of your own, but it's easier to do it on a foreign entity?
> During the 2013 NSA leaks Internet spying scandal, the surveillance agencies of the "Five Eyes" have been accused of intentionally spying on one another's citizens and willingly sharing the collected information with each other, allegedly circumventing laws preventing each agency from spying on its own citizens.
It made me think of the old wireless application protocol stuff - WAP. I did create a site in WML around 2002 but all i remember is a <card> structure.
The UI is much nicer than gerrit (or at least the gerrit UI I knew from 5-6 years ago not sure if they have changed). It’s more “GitHub”-y. It’s a bit confusing at first but once you get into it it’s pretty damn powerful.
Side note, I honestly seriously think we need much better tooling than just these 2 for code reviews.
I'm building a much better code review for tool for GitHub, check out https://codeapprove.com
It combines concepts from GitHub, Gerrit, and other good review tools out there to make it easy and fast to reach consensus (which is what it's all about).

Gerrit has gotten a new UI in the last few years as far as i know. I wouldnt nesecarily describe it as pretty, but its my personal favourite review system
I really liked this story. Im much too young to have been around for it, but I feel like this era of computing must have been kind of magical where there was a lot of access and no walled garden nearly to the scale of a google or apple where the obfuscation just requires a flipped bit.
I'm old enough that my heart fluttered when he mentioned the "ELF II" development board! That's some serious old school magical stuff. That used car salesman was incredibly lucky to snag such a hacker, who had no fear of jumping into hex dumps and flipping bits around, for solving problems.
Some things were also pretty hard back then (a few years later but still). When you were too young for university and your environment was not academic, getting access to information was so difficult. I remember when we made a school trip to London and I spent all my savings for programming and computer graphic books. There was no wikipedia, no scihub, no blogs, no Github. New coding or hacking e-zines were treated like gold and sometimes I spent multiple months of my savings to get 1 book!
