> That dedicated server you have to manage (ensure security, install the software you need, keep it updated and secure etc). It’s not for everyone.

apt install unattended-upgrades. And Hetzner's firewall.

You could also go to Settings, Keyboards, and uncheck Smart Punctuation.

Well, of course they are. Those who weren’t “just fine” already left. But it’s not about how fine they feel, it’s about how healthy it is.

To me, that paragraph looks weirdly like backpedaling.

I’m on hetzner. My IP address was in some dnsrbl lists. I appealed and got my ip clean. Now I can send emails to gmail and outlook and they arrive successfully. I don’t see where all this fuss comes. You set up your server according to google and you are good to go. That’s all.

Nah, that’s FUD. I had a pretty easy time setting it up myself. You only have to setup SPF, DKIM and DMARC. Which is pretty easy by itself. You even have online services to check that you have set it up everything correctly.

I use WPS for that.

They already exist, and work. IPFS, for example.

That probably would not happen in a first world country.

What I did was to ignore the initial letter, and nothing happened. Over the years I’ve found that not engaging is usually the best defense.

Same as Spain. So using Usenet is completely legal.

The original source of this heap of trash disguised as article is summit.news. I think that should be enough.

I tried to, but I didn’t find a list of projects that went open source, so I had to go by my memory. Which may have some kind of survivorship bias, as I maybe forgot those projects which went open source, but failed.

Yeah, like OpenOffice, or Blender, or Java, or UQM.
