The WTFPL is risky in certain jurisdictions, as it does not have a NO WARRANTY clause.

Wiser alternative:

Do whatever you like with the original work, just don’t be a dick.

Thank you! :-)

The content posted here has no obvious license. I wonder if an administrator could just put any license of his choice on your posts.

I wonder why I don’t pay for Lemmy.

These days, things have greatly improved.

Websites will never change their URLs today.

Again, I’m talking about the server part here, and there is a lot preventing a server to be both a web and a mail server.

You understand that web servers (listening on a web server port) and mail servers (listening on one or more mail server ports, possibly on the same computer) are entirely different technologies?

JMAP sounds interesting indeed, but as far as I understand, there is an underwhelming number of clients that speak it?

A website is the response a web server sends on a web port to a web browser. SMTP on port 80/443 won’t work well, but please try.

If you try it, report back. ;-) My current setup is mostly OpenSMTPD & Dovecot, but I’m open for good reasons to move away.

Websites do not have the functionality to connect to mail servers. These are different protocols.

For mail server infrastructure, Stalwart is said to be pretty good. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet.

My RSS reader (Newsblur) lets me do that too, to some extent.

• Stopped using reddit, went here instead.
• Intensified my Mastodon usage, winding down my Twitter activity.
• Started using my own mail server for more than just a few tests.
• Changed search engines a few times (I’ll probably stick with Kagi now).
• Reduced my subscriptions and cleaned up my RSS feeds.
• Stopped doomscrolling (I subscribed to a weekly paper newspaper instead).
• Started using Ulysses for writing. Works very well.

Primer:

1. Usenet is for text, not for piracy. Just because you can share giant files over NNTP, that does not mean that you should. I mean, the IRC supports “file sharing” too, but there are much better protocols for that.
2. The main hurdle trying to abuse NNTP for piracy is to find a Usenet provider that actually mirrors binaries. I am not aware of any free one, as it takes very much traffic and disk space.

I know, but most people won’t. :-)

One of the reasons might be that the number of SVN hosting facilities has decreased over the past two decades.

I know, but most people are lazy these days (and self-hosting stuff in the EU has become a legal battle against every week’s new rules).

Oh, come on. It wasn’t that bad! At least it granted (and still grants) the freedom of choosing which VCS shall make your day harder than necessary.

Codeberg is supposedly located in the EU while not requiring self-hosting, maybe that’s why.
