They are close but I think mailbox.org charges per mailbox.

The best match I got was Migadu which I’m still tempted by but they’ve had reliability problems before.

The alternative is an smtp relay service in front of my own mail server, though not my preference.

The primary service that we all need to de-google (or de-proton in this case) is email. The trouble is, the available email services all seem to limit you to 1 user and a few aliases, unless you want to pay a lot more. This kinda makes sense if you are using the proton domain name, they have name space limits and don’t want to become a spam source. However, if you bring your own domain name the breakdown of users and aliases is essentially irrelevant to the cost, and it should only be based on storage and transmit limits. I should be able to have as many user accounts and aliases as I like. This is what I get from MXRoute, and what makes it impossible for my to leave them even though they are mostly US based. I can’t find a solid replacement service that isn’t ripping us off with unnecessary limitations.

In case anyone suggests it, hosting your own email server is a very risky business, and best left to someone else.

Yes, but everyone seems happy with hyprland so far. I’m sure there are lots of Devs whose political views are a tad iffy. My worry is he’ll now be influenced by DHH into compromising hyprland in some fashion.

Indeed. Just been looking at Niri and MangoWM as alternatives.

Makes me wonder how long hyprland will be safe for.

True, assuming the crack works in Wine or Proton. However, those emulators aren’t fully sandboxed, so as long as the code can run it could in theory grab data or damage the system. Probably only a matter of time before such things are compromised regularly.

My problem with pirating anything isn’t the principle, it is the reliability and risk of viruses.

Does this happen when browsing local files or just network shares (SMB or Vs ssh) ?

I’ve not found a viable replacement for mxroute (I know us based). All the other email services seem to be priced by the number of accounts. I have a bunch of accounts I need to keep separate, some personal and some business. Some accounts have a few aliases as well. But Aliases just don’t cut it on their own.

I’ve been running EOS for a couple of years now and love it. Everything works, however my PS5 controller always struggles on Bluetooth unless I downgrade to bluez 5.68. They never have fixed it.

Up doot for Endeavour OS. The distro that finally let me leave windows.

If you want to prevent piracy don’t make games ridiculously expensive, or block modding, or force users to be online when they shouldn’t need to be.

Its the same problem TV streaming service are having. Their model worked when they priced it well and you didn’t have to get 5 different services. Now that’s happened privacy is well on the rise again.

It is nuts to think that copy protection for single player games makes financial sense when all it does is piss people off and encourage more piracy.

To repeat myself . . . Anti piracy is pointless for single player games. Without the need for anything online game cracks don’t have to work hard to bypass such copy protection. Also it is anti social, often requiring to be online just to play a purely offline game.

Do you WANT this stuff?

Really? It constrains or prevents modding, which is a core part of PC gaming.

Copy protection for single player games is essentially pointless. Even GTA V let’s you do what you want in single player mode because it is offline.

The only reason they might want anti tamper is to support in game purchases, which is equally senseless for single player games.

According to their own site it is both apparently. Either way it is used for both purposes, and for single player that makes no sense.

It may have other nefarious uses but it is primarily anti-cheat software.

Putting anti cheats in single player games should be illegal.

pacman / yay

I also like pacseek as it provides a simple tui for package search and getting info about packages.

Electron is a relatively recent thing. What did Devs do in the past?

Yeah I’m not reading a PM article. Gonna wait for someone to post the bottom line.
