I've also been self hosting for a couple decades, and I've taken this approach a step further. I self-deliver to most destinations, but for a while there was one destination (a regional ISP's mail server) that would not accept my emails. My solution was to route _only_ emails for that destination through MailGun. The volume was so low that I stayed within Mailgun's free tier.

This was a temporary measure for a couple vintages/years after a frost decimated nearly all the vines in the BC Okanagan. The regulators stepped in to allow relaxed importation rules to help wineries survive. A winery like Mission Hill typically grows and sources all of its grapes within BC.

You can still get a long exposure by accumulating many 1/5,000 exposure shots together. Just like a regular long exposure, this will still cancel out random noise and improve SNR, and also still has the tradeoff of motion blur. This kind of accumulation is commonly done in photography-adjacent technologies like spectroscopy.

Regardless, I agree with your larger point that the proposed system would be entirely impractical!

This is interesting. Do you have any specific examples?

Same same. I'd been a die hard mac user since System 6 in the early 90s, but last year I switched to Asahi Linux and my next hardware may or may not be from Apple.

Same. It looks like battery replacement from ifixit is not too difficult, so I plan to do that when the time comes.

Incidentally, I just switched to Asahi Linux, but that was for software quality and openness reasons, rather than anything to do with performance.

I’m with Freedom Mobile in Vancouver, currently using a rather old iPhone. My next phone will probably run GOS.

I have issues with Freedom on my iPhone too. Poor signal, or else “good” signal but poor data backhaul.

Are you pretty sure your issues went away after going back to stock Android? Or is it possible it’s just Freedom Mobile’s general issues?
