The impracticality of mail self-hosting has nothing to do with the actual host, or the service on the host. Those are like any other service. It’s about getting others (Google, yahoo, whoever) to accept emails from you and not consider it spam. If they stop accepting mail from you, or never even start, you can’t even do much about it. You might have to write individual requests for basically every major mail host. Mails will fail to send, a lot. So it’s not up to you to fix this when it doesn’t work, you realy on them to white list you. It’s just not gonna work.

As for Mailbox: the “standard” mail plan includes a very small drive-like storage (5 GB I think?), but it’s mostly mail storage (10 GB) and you can add on as many GB as you like (0.20 € each I think).

I would echo others advice to avoid self-hosting emails, as it’s just impractical and frankly just won’t work properly for reasons you can’t control.

We far as mail providers go, I don’t know if mailbox.org meets your requirements for “encrypted”, but have a look at them.

I heard him say in an interview that he tried to get the producers to let him use “Lapsang Souchong” (also a black tea), but they didn’t go for it. I guess it was about something still ubiquitous enough so people would know it?

I think I used the wrong term for what I meant, so let me clarify now that I’ve looked up the correct terminology:

There is only one real DLC. It’s the bridges and ports thing that had been announced together with the game and you could buy both from the start. This adds actual functionality, similar to real DLC for CS1. Again, there’s only 1 of those.

There are (paid) “creator packs” that are basically DLC-light. This is also roughly equivalent to what CS1 had, both in terms of price and content “amount”, at least from my understanding. Obviously also completely optional, and kinda similar to Paradox games in general. Some hate the model, some like it. I don’t think any of them were actually made by colossal order, but by members of the community, and they also get a significant share of the revenue. I don’t know what that share is though, or if that information is publicly available somewhere.

Now the third category is what I actually meant: There are Region Packs (10ish? I think?), also made by Colossal Order. These are basically mods like any other mod in the mod portal. They are actually very significant in terms of content and add a large amount of variety for both service buildings (police, clinic, schools, …) as well as growable buildings (residential, commercial, …). THESE are what I meant. They could’ve made them DLC, but didn’t. If they wanted to maximize profit like you suggested, why not do that?

But that also makes no sense. They have released so many (systems?) of content creator packs. They are all free. None of it is paid dlc. So if that you’re saying were true, and that was the real intention, they failed so hard at it that is just implausible.

Ok seriously, mathstodon has to be one of the greatest domain names of all time.

People seem to keep ignoring the part where I couldn’t find any. Yes their naming sucks, but it won’t say “Nnidia” next to the listing for the GPU, so that isn’t the issue either.

To go into a bit more detail: I was looking at linux-adjacent laptops (that I can buy without a Windows-license) up to 15" display, with gaming being a primary use case. This obviously includes that all components work with linux, and ideally it should ship with it. Preferably it should not be from one of the major brands (HP, Dell, Lenovo, …), but if they got the linux compatiblity down, that would be fine. Finally it should have good repairability and allow me to open it to swap components (RAM, NVMe, …) without affecting the warranty.

So in the end I mostly looked at Tuxedo computers, Slimbook, SKIKK and one or two more where I can’t remember the name. None of them have a laptop with AMD GPU at all, only iGPU. Furthermore, when you check the price comparison websites in the “notebook” category (like idealo for example) they let you filter for this sort of thing. Obviously they don’t list every laptop that exists on the market, but they do list the popular brands (again HP, Dell, Lenovo, …). When applying NO filters at all, there are over 6k laptops listed. Roughly 1500 of those have a dedicated Nvidia GPU. The total for AMD/Radeon? 16. yes. SIXTEEN.

So I’m back to “functionally, they don’t exist”.

That is the iGPU, integrated into the processor. Of course they exist. I’m taking about dedicated, separate GPUs that are connected via PCIe. Like the mobile versions of Nvidias 4070 for example. I did look and search, but couldn’t find a single example, so I concluded they don’t exist.

While iGPUs have come a long way, there is still quite the difference in performance compared to dedicated ones.

As far as I can tell, AMD doesn’t make dedicated mobile chips. Or they are so uncommon that I couldn’t find any laptop with it that is Linux-ready.

Yes, but it isn’t available (yet). The pebble 2 duo does not, but it has already shipped. I don’t know how many are still available and/or will be made.

Currently the app also has zero support for anything health-related, including sleep. If that will be fixed by the time the pt2 is shipping, who knows. This is probably not a huge problem for op, as he’s explicitly searching for a watch without smartphone reliance.

Even in the old app and on the old pebble watches, anything health related was an afterthought at best, and it also isn’t a focus of it officially. The new ones are using the same OS, so are incredibly similar. Which is generally a good thing, but also includes the lack of features related to anything “health”.

The modern Pebble has no heart rate sensor, and generally no useful exercise monitoring.

Teams actually has Linux builds on the AUR. Obviously they are wrapping the web version, but it does integrate much more nicely with the GUI. I’m running the version that uses your already installed electron. I don’t have to use chrome for teams, which is the real upside for me.

Don’t buy anything by crucial, as you’ll have trouble getting a 2nd stick in the future. They are shutting down their end user business.

Ssh over Internet is fine as long as it’s properly setup (no password auth, root not allowed, etc.). Obviously a VPN is even better.

That’s unfortunately how that works. That’s why there is a lot of abandonware. Software or games where the original copyright holder no longer exists or doesn’t care. Copyright doesn’t magically disappear.

It’s a tragedy, but that’s how the law works.

That may just be the cause then? The difference in relative population? Since we don’t know from the graphic what the numerical foundation is, it might be sometime that skews toward the “more common” side when there’s just less women in an area.

I would like to add that I did look at the GitHub before commenting. And I still didn’t get it. Matthew with just explain what it does, but also why is different from the common tools/suggestions that seem similar. Maybe it’s more about highlighting the differences (or the additional capabilities).

Just one more aspect to add to the other replies that I didn’t see mentioned: the most common use of this is with online multiplayer games like Mobas (lol, dota2) or ability/arena shooters (overwatch, valorant), where the developer will actually make changes to the balance, or add/remove items, heroes, … Here “the meta” will often shift with any major patch. As an example, they might adjust the items that give health and/or armor because front liners aren’t effective enough, and maybe they overtune it a bit, leading to a “tank meta” because now tanky characters can fulfill roles they weren’t even intended for (just as a random example).

But also things like tabletop games (Warhammer) have seasonal rulesets where this can apply.

It can even apply to Singleplayer games like Baldurs Gate 3 (as a recent example). In these cases the meta often refers to very efficient, good working character builds (class selection, level order and items) that have usually been figured out by the community over time. In that case the meta is generally more fixed or stable, as the game doesn’t receive maybe balance updates every few months.

Ah now I understand the purpose. I only use it for my (personal) dotfiles, which as a term is ambiguous at best, but in my case I mean config files. That was how I essentially misread your title. Obviously all those files are owned by my user, and most live in ~/.config or similar locations beneath my home directory. Things like application preferences, basically.

Obviously your tool also works for this, but I now understand it’s more meant for system wide config files.

I’m also just using GNU stow into a git repo. It needs no configuration file and just works on any system. Rolling out a new system takes 2 commands. I really don’t see the need for a specialized tool for this use case.
