Can you imagine how many years of email admin lives would be saved and how simpler their lives would be if people simply did not send emails to #gmail and #hotmail ????
google and microsoft are like two of the biggest offenders when it comes to email, bullying smaller services. And yet every email sysadmin has to work to comply with google and MS rules.

does anyone have a broken DSi or 3DS, or a Wii Fit U Meter they'd be willing to donate? or just anything that has a 78k0, 78K0R or RL78 chip
"broken" being the screen hinge broke, a badly corrupted flash, etc, it still kinda needs to boot
context: I'm trying to get the firmware out of the DSi BPTWL chip and maybe also the 3DS MCU, and also the fit meter because why not, as these are very similar chips. except they all differ in small ways in their in-circuit flashing interface and bootrom (which implements the former) so that I need to sample a number of them. also the RL78 debug interface has been semidocumented by fail0verflow and I want to try to expand that to the other chip types. access to this debug interface, even when disabled by the firmware, would make it much easier to recover the flash using voltage glitching (lower complexity exploit)
yes I know the 3DS MCU firmware has been obtained already but that chip is in the middle between the 78k0 and RL78, making it useful
@pcy does it have to be broken? If I dig around, I might find the Wii Fit U Meters my parents used before they got apple watches.
I broke my #firefox install on my #PinePhone (maybe because of enabling/disabling testing repo on #postmarketos edge? (not stable)), and... I don't miss it that much. Performance was always dodgy. Important sites (like #sourcehut's 'create repo' page) work fine in #links.
Dear everyone, don't use #gmail. They don't play nice with other email providers: I've been unable to send anything to a gmail address in the last week, and there's seemingly nothing I or the would-be recipient can do to remedy this situation.
@jameschip But I guess really I'm curious about which version of the hippocratic license you would use. (Judging based on how different they are from each other).
@jameschip Sometimes I use the #AGPL, even knowing that it restricts some freedom, on a project-by-project basis.
If #scenes was hippocratic license 3.0, my usage of it as a digital whiteboard would have been in violation if
* you judged my or my employers to be discriminatory in any way
* we ended up on some 3rd-party persona-non-grata lists
* someone judged their holiday on-call requirement 'unreasonable'.
* we ever committed one of a variety of sins.

Hi all, I've created a mobile-friendly gemini client for linux: https://gitlab.com/armen138/gerbil/-/releases/v0.1.1
Okay, seems to be working... enough that I can go to bed
Maybe had a hard drive failure on the box which ran gemini.zachdecook.com, so that site may be getting its forever certificate sooner than planned as I quick configure an alternate server.
@mart you can makeshift one by bending a paperclip

@zudn rough... I used to use offlineimap (downloadable from brew and if I recall fairly easy to configure), though I think now might be a little late for you.
I've been working mostly on #FOSS for the last month. Read my #statusUpdate at gemini://gemini.zachdecook.com/capsule/2021-10-22-status.gmi

uspol, foss, agplv3 license violation
@RazorsKiss How old are they? I remember when I took driver's training, the instructor said "Yes, your parents have the right to take away your driver's license as long as you live in their house." (Though I'm not sure if that's legal advice).
