I run my own mail server with rspamd. It learns spam automatically based on the emails I move into the Spam folder and gives new incoming mails a probability score. If the probability of an email being spam is over a certain threshold, it gets moved into the Spam folder automatically or deleted entirely.

It works extremely well! But I also share my mailserver with a few friends and we have a collection of spam that spans ~20 years, which is a great dataset for training tools like these.

I was so excited about that, because running some Android apps natively on my Desktop PC would’ve been amazing. But it never really worked well, installing the PlayStore was not officially supported (and painful) and then it got canned.

The only “good” thing that improved with Windows 11 was WSL, and as soon as I found an employer that allowed me to use a native Linux machine I ran away from the Windows dumpsterfire as fast as I could.

I couldn’t hold it in anymore when the “intelligence” generated an image of his girlfriend with three arms. I did expect it to be bad, but not this bad.

Apple Intelligence feels like a feature only the execs wanted to ship.

Give Voyager one final, long episode with a proper sendoff (instead of the half-assed one they did), where we can see how the characters actually ended up in the coming years. With an epic orchestral soundtrack, at least one really good space battle scene and a lot of pathos, it deserves it! ST: Picard is also considered non-canon (the first two seasons have been a shitshow and the third was just nostalgia-bait anyway). So nothing that happened to Seven of Nine in that plotline ever officially happened and the final Voyager episode can utilize some talented writers to make it good.

…and also delete the episode where some crew members become animals and bang each other, because excuse me, what the fuck was that?

Absolutely. I’ve been using it for a month and it feels like Google, but before they enshittified. DDG was my previous goto search engine, but it’s gotten really bad as well. Especially the aggressive keyword replacements drove me almost insane.

When it comes to gaming, I believed VR games are a pointless waste of time, for quite a while. Then I played “Psychonauts: In the Rhombus of Ruin” and had so much fun, it’s amazing! VR definitely has a place, but it’s still quite expensive.

What I’m really waiting for is an affordable VR headset with a high enough resolution to watch 3D movies comfortably. I have a PSVR1 and I’ve watched TRON: Legacy on it, but the resolution is a bit too shitty to really enjoy it. It’s passable for games, but not for movies. The PSVR2 would be better in theory, but Sony decided in their infinite wisdom to remove 3D BluRay playback on the PS5. -.-

A VR headset from Valve will most likely be really well supported on Linux. If that means I can finally watch 3D MKV’s, then fuck yes, I’m in. Definitely not paying 1.000€ for it, though.

This is so true. I worked at a callcentre for two years, doing crazy shifts for more money, with lots of overtime and short weekends…it was my first job. I liked the money and because I was young and stupid, I wanted to prove myself and did way more than I was paid for.

The people that worked there for many years saw it coming and told me to take it slow or else I’d burn out. I ignored them and the signs my own body gave me. When I was tired, I went to the coffee machine and made myself a triple espresso. “Here we go again!”

Then came the day where I tried to go to work and just…stopped functioning. I sat at my desk with the headset on and couldn’t do anything anymore. I never felt so tired in my life and fell asleep on the toilet in the company bathroom. I still remember my dad driving me home and falling onto my bed, but not a lot else.

It took 1.5 years to get my energy back and the first few months are just a blur. I must’ve slept for weeks, with the occasional toilet breaks and some snacks in-between. Worst of all, I never regained all of the energy I had before that happened. Burnout is a bitch and what I did back then will follow me for the rest of my life.

I’m a big cinema fanboy, so up until last year I went to the cinema every week. It was 14km away from me, so I had to cycle on my bike a lot. That was really healthy!

But now I’ve moved into a new apartment right next to the cinema and I’ve grown quite large. I’m still figuring it out being a lazy bastard now.

I found the story intriguing, but the time loop is way too short. Every time it gets interesting, the world resets, you have to get back into the rocketship and fly back to the place you’ve been before. It’s an absolutely unneccessary padding mechanic.

Undertale. I tried playing it a few weeks ago, but the controls are clunky and the story isn’t really entertaining. It was just boring and annoying.

Not the point, but they’re the bad guys for other reasons. Walled garden, bad repairability etc. Their update policy is really solid, though.

It’s new devices coming onto the market. So if they existed before June but they are still being sold, the rules do not apply to them. But new models that are coming out now have to have software support.

The EU has already noticed. Manufacturers have to provide software updates for five years, for all new devices since June.

Group work is really nice when you’re working with intelligent, competent and reliable people. I have worked in amazing groups before and sometimes, I really miss it.

But I absolutely hate when I am forced to work on a project with unmotivated colleagues that do their bare minimum and use ChatGPT for everything. In my last job I was often fixing or doing their work, increasing my own workload.

At the moment, I am working alone and remote. I’m getting loads of shit done and I can finally breathe. Sometimes I wish I had at least one competent colleague again, though. But times are tough and good employees cost money…

Task failed sucessfully.

I guess that sounded way funnier in your own head.

Trickle-down will happen aaaaany day now…

…for shareholders and billionaires.

I haven’t heard that name since highschool. Great it’s still going.
