  • I tried self hosting my own email. I was successful but a little weary of how unreliable my own set up was. But also I got to see just how stupid stupid the email system is. Like it was genius stuff when it first came out but knowing what we know now there’s this digital aura of just stupid. Examples:

    1. Only big companies can host email. Due to all the attacks. That’s fucking stupid.

    2. literally anyone can intercept your email and read it if it’s not encrypted. Nobody encrypts email.

    3. your email receiving system must be on or you will miss the email.

    And it just keeps getting stupider and stupider from there. And here, I’m using the word stupid in a similar context as one laughs when someone talks about using asbestos for a whole new application. If a dog could laugh at that, he would.

    Anyway, so here we are, a big ass company has 15Gb worth of emails from most everyone and we can’t easily stop using the system because everyone else is using it. I got me a proton account too. But it really not the direction I want to take anymore I think.

    Ideally I would keep using email for work until it folds over but then personally I would find a different, safer, more modern way to communicate with others. Much like here but with the same ability of sending larger files like zip, photos etc.




  • Pro’s: rapists will not rape you in front of the camera.

    Cons: 🤪 face like that at your speeding ticket hearing every 3 weeks minus 10% of your yearly income. If that’s your thing. Me I don’t drive crazy ever. But I don’t want to live with a constant reminder that some cock sucker in a blue hat can just ruin my life if they so feel like it.

    Reminds me of the cops that provided daily entertainment for us drivers going thru Linwood WA … They got a school stop sign 🛑 20mph in a 30mph zone, but no school. But what is hilarious is that right in front of the stop there’s a housing development that’s probably the the Uber 🤑 rich… Who the fuck would want to live there at all?

    At least give them an hour to jack off and get dressed in pace before going back to work. With the fuckin cops there, it means they can’t make big noises, no music, no screwing around. Might as well make it a public park because that shit is not selling.
