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! :-)

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.

I probably said “Windows” once too often (= once).

Linux is probably not the wisest choice for gaming - that would still be Windows. Anyway, the distribution does not matter that much. You can install most Linux and cross-platform software on most distributions. Do not choose your system because of what comes as the default desktop, default package set et cetera. Try a few ones. Read some reviews.

nvi, I guess.

Mostly, mg.

In some countries, that might be the case. However, in Germany (where I live), there is no way to have something “not copyrighted”. The author holds the copyright unless explicitly licensed. (Here’s where the CC0 comes in handy, but the CC licenses weren’t made for software…)

Ah, a horse collector.

The problem with Public Domain is that it does not exist in most jurisdictions. There is no “Public Domain” in (edit: at least parts of) the EU, for example.

These aren’t corporations.

I know, I know: “but the website is free” (for now). However, Civit AI, Inc. is not a loose community. There must be something that pays their bills. I wonder what it is.
