I recommend reading up and learning more about flatpaks and their sandboxing. Flatseal is just a GUI implementation of the flatpak CLI.

https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/using-flatpak.html

You can also very quickly download Flatseal for yourself to put your own eyes on it. Everything is labeled and has tooltips.

Indeed, you are not wrong. Such is the state of many, many things.

I admit it’s easy enough to say, “let’s get rid of it”, but without a solution it’s meaningless to say and is just an ideology.

Excellent, I hadn’t come across this yet, many thanks!

Just fyi, you typed the link to their main source code as github.org instead of .com :)

ETA: Been reading up today, and I’m fully onboard. Glad it uses opensearch, mega easy to just replace SearXNG, and the approach to the curation with the crawler extension is neato.

I don’t think the SPF / DKIM / DMARC stuff is overly complex nor the core of the problem.

It’s not the core of the issue, but the average joe that is a hobbyist self-hoster it will be.

IMO, the core issue is that there is no standard whatsoever. People just do whatever the hell they want with these records, pretty much. Microsoft and Google do it differently than each other, even.

The only solution for me is that we move on from email as a society.

Let’s Backtrack a little bit

You could almost play the game: “Linux Distro or Weed Strain?”

Other than my Steam Deck, I daily drive NixOS and it runs on all my servers. Can confirm the glory (hole).

Valve over here puttin’ everybody on Arch

I never really used Flatpaks until I got a Steam Deck and started doing a little game dev on it.

I now have an init script that I run after every SteamOS update to install paru and other libraries via pacman instead, lmao.

it’s an app on Flatpak called Flatseal, it’s a GUI to give flatpaks permissions and such.

I spend hours writing a bash script to automate something I know I’m only going to do once.

Oh man, since I know very little about developing at the kernel level, I bet I’d get some sweet and soul-crushing novellas.

Is there a fetish community for people that want to be ripped apart by Torvalds’ anger?

I’m always backing up with SyncThing in realtime, but every week I do an off-site type of tarball backup that isn’t within the SyncThing setup.

just for future reference (click the source button to see how I embedded your image)

Yea, if you are not willing to be meticulous about learning/understanding all the DNS stuff (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), and plan to host this at home, don’t.

I ran this same system for a very long time on a VPS and had no problems with blacklists, but I’m also a career systems engineer that maintained enterprise systems and exchange servers.

Also note how I am speaking of MIAB in the past tense…

I think the better option is to try and avoid email as much as you can, just like SMS. Outdated tech and not secure. At that point, any ol’ existing email service is good enough.

I grew up Christian, and denounced it all at age 15 for atheism. Later, I ended up becoming very spiritual (but not religious, more like Taoist/Buddhist). That’s when I started to realize there are nuances like this.

Admittedly, I almost did write down Christian, but I changed it 'cause of exactly what you say. It isn’t fair to the actual Christ-like that exist out there, and it’s not only Christian denominations behaving this way.

It sucks that religion in general is being used by the vile controllers to manipulate, and I wish there were more folks like you that actually questioned things and lifted the veil for themselves. Seems to me that, at least southern baptists, are practically trained to never question authority and always take information at face value if the person giving that information simply claims they are Christian. Same people believe that you should keep sex and drug information from your children, instead of preparing them for the good and bad of each they may encounter in the world.

I am heartbroken and ashamed at how many people I once thought good and decent, who have fallen for this lie and follow such a disgraceful monster.

Yea… it especially sucks when its your parents. We used to do fun things together, now I have to hide everything about who I am.

Sounds like my parents’ pastor
