@django I obviously didn’t know that. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

@django Yeah. I’m just using the reader view in the browser. Is it that web sites have reader views for individual articles but no longer update an index of some kind?

@smokinjoe An interesting reaction to react is Svelte: https://svelte.dev/. Instead of sending an entire application to the browser and making the poor client run all of it, do a crap ton of compute and calculation at build time. Send minimal code and computation to the browser. Totally different paradigm.

@tinselpar @sdx I disagree. I’ve been self-hosting my email since 1998. I routinely end up on blacklists and low-reputation IP lists and other situations that limit my email from reaching people.

The big players like gmail, outlook, yahoo have absolutely no method of appeal or explanation. You can submit to an opaque form and maybe email starts getting delivered again. But you’ll never get a reason or even a notification that they made a change. It is a constant labour: So much so that I pay a monitoring service to alert me if my server ends up on a list somewhere.

Look at paco.to and look for issues. It’s “right” in terms of SMTP standards and compliance. This stuff happens to me ALL THE TIME.

I was emailing my local government office and had to call them to find out why they weren’t replying. All my mail was going into a junk folder for no reason that I could see or control.

When big players adopt something, small players must also, or we lose the ability to send email to massive numbers of people.

So while it is “possible” to run your own small email server, the dominance of a few absolutely massive players makes it a lot of work for the small operator.

@jamesw In the old days, if you bought a dvd, it was your job to make sure it didn’t get scratched up, lost, etc. You had to make sure you kept a DVD player in working order if you wanted to watch it. Likewise for books. You buy the book and it’s your responsibility to keep it intact to read it. So if they let you download it once and keep it forever, that seems reasonable. If they make you download it every time you want to watch it, that’s a service, not a purchase. Asking them to maintain an online service so you can download it again if you lose it, though, doesn’t match the idea of “buying” as much as it matches the idea of “renting”.
