@adi@twtxt.net Yeah no I really don’t have time for such things i’m afraid. “System Administration” is a pain and just a time consuming waste of time.

@adi@twtxt.net Docker makes packaging so much easier and the whole “works on my machine” is no longer a problem.

@adi@twtxt.net You really can’t beat:

docker run \
    --net=host \
    -e TZ=Europe/Prague \
    -v /your-data-dir/data:/data \
    --name "mailserver" \
    -h "mail.example.com" \
    -t analogic/poste.io

Thing is. I don’t trust Google or Apple even a fraction as much as I would trust the TLS of the companies domain.

That is until the Certificate Authorities get hacked, which I know it “quite hard”, as it would take an inside job 🤣 Or state control 🤔

@adi@twtxt.net I’ve tried them both 😅

This Reddit thread basically sums up my experience in this space as well.

@adi@twtxt.net GMail is okay and I use it. But there’s no good Cal/Card DAV server and there not really a decent Web interface out there for Email/Calendar/Contacts.

@adi@twtxt.net Oh my god! 😱 The demo is total garbage 🤣 It has so many UX things that are just “off” and kind of broken 🤦‍♂️

@adi@twtxt.net Yeah it’s hard to stand up and has no good user experience to speak of. No web app. It’s basically just a crappy Cal/Card DAV server

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Yeah I tend to agree, over the years the experience has gotten a bit worse. The original “GMail” was pretty good, some of the more recent changes/features I could have done without tbh

@adi@twtxt.net Radicale is total garbage unfortunately 😢

@adi@twtxt.net What Calendar and Contacts? I think we have very different ideas of what “operational complexity” means.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Is Teracube an Android clone of some kind? And that’s fair and also great service 👌

@adi@twtxt.net I say “trying” only because I’m willing to admit I have no fucking clue what I’m doing 🤣. I would never dare say I’m “doing” in the context of building my own company, because I’ve never done it before. I’ll let you know when/if I succeed in any meaningful way and then if I intend to do it all again, then I’ll use the term “doing” 😅

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I’ve yet to see a decent “Linux” “smartphone”. We’ve seen several attempts, but they’re honestly not really that great 🤦‍♂️ 😢

@adi@twtxt.net What is Google/Android “garbage”? (besides being a monopoly). I personally like using Apple products (as long as they stay out of the “Advertising” business and/or continue to give me the choice to turn half their “Cloud” shit™ off)

@adi@twtxt.net Solution to “what”? 🤔

@adi@twtxt.net That sadly sits in the “sucks” bucket in both “operational complexity” and “user experience”. You really can’t beat the operational simplicity of standing up Poste.io or the user experience of FastMail, or Gmail. So far we don’t have a godo self-hosted solution that fits both bills to date.

@adi@twtxt.net I don’t buy a new phone every year. Who told you you needed to do that? 🤣 I think I’ve had my current iPhone for umm ~3 years now 🤞

In setting up my own company and it’s internal tools and services and supporting infrastructure, the ony thing I haven’t figured out how to solve “really well” is Email, Calendar and Contacts 😢 All the options that exist “suck”. They suck either in terms of “operational complexity and overheads” or “a poor user experience”.

@adi@twtxt.net Sucks less compared to what? Define “sucks”?

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Yeah I did a quick conversion of hte price and boi, it’s just as expensive as Apple iPhone(s) 🤣 I don’t need Google/Android garbage that’s just as expensive, even if it’s so-called” easier” to repair on my own (fuck I don’t have time for that!) 🤦‍♂️

@adi@twtxt.net What’s so great / different about a Fairphone 5? 🤔

@thecanine@twtxt.net I ask this question all the time of many so-called “Enterprise” software 😆

@shreyan@twtxt.net Ahh nice! 👌

@ionores@twtxt.net Haha 🤣

@xuu@txt.sour.is You took this yourself? Mars?

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Yeah I figured as much, it really is a complete load of horseshit. Even listening to it made me cringe

@thecanine@twtxt.net Haha that was very well put 🤣

@eapl.me@eapl.me Trying to 😆

@mckinley@twtxt.net 😆

@shreyan@twtxt.net Sounds good 👌

@bender@twtxt.net Saw your message 👌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh I hate that 1:1 messages are “Rooms” 😆 But the real reason why is because I needed some kind of half decent Slack thing for my company I’m trying to run 🤣

I guess I’m finally available on Matrix now 😅 (I still think the protocol is over engineered, but the official reference software and client all seems to work okay, the one I tried some time ago wasn’t that great at the time) @prologic:mills.io #matrix

@shreyan@twtxt.net That was about my take too. I don’t take V that seriously as a language for that reason 😆

@shreyan@twtxt.net How are you finding it so far? 🤔

It looks a lot like Gopher I guess?

@shreyan@twtxt.net Interesting 🤔

Also I’ve now lost all respect for Hashicorp as a company 🤦‍♂️

@hacker-news-newest@feeds.twtxt.net Wait what?! Wtf is a BSL license?! 😱

@marcorocco@roccodrom.de Hello! 👋 Welcome to Twtxt 🥳

@marado@twtxt.net Hmm I turned it off 🤦‍♂️ I really hated how it turned my pod into so much noise 😢 – I guess I’m going to have to build out that Twtxt<->ActivityPub service after all 🤔

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net done!

I’ve briefly explored this fromtend, but not sure if it has the feature I need 🤔

Yeah this is an option and some way to download them👌

My kids watch videos on their iPads 😆

@jmjl@tilde.green Yeah I’ve seen some attempts at this, wasn’t able to get them to work though, but I think that’s probably arguably better in some ways 👌
