  • It really does not matter if they have comprehensive description of anything. It is always about defensibility. Sure, maybe you are technically not breaking the law, but maybe you also don’t have the money to fight the other legal team, so you are basically fucked.

    If someone comes to the creator of said software, saying they’ll get sued - I’d rather implement something that barely works than fight for year(s) in court.

    Not defending anything being merged, mind you. Glad we ended up with non mandatory field (that barely counts for the legislation) than full blown age verification. The moment it will be mandatory AND verified, I am gone.





  • Jokes on em, I don’t read work emails. Partially because I refuse to dedicate any time of the day using Outlook, especially in a web browser, because the oh-so-wise IT departnent does not allow to use a different client, and as I can’t use Outlook on Linux, fuck em.

    And no, IMAP or POP3 are not available. Trying to login via Thunderbird just triggers a message to contant IT dept to allow me using it. It’s Teams or nothing.









  • Sadly, the answer can range from super technical to super boiled down version. Depending on individual’s knowledge, money reserves, and the will to set things up the proper way.

    Here’s the boiled down version: You will need a server with a public IP address, preferably a hostname. The server has have SSH access. Then it is whichever way is most convenient - direct install, docker, etc.

    I, for example, have a Scaleway + Cloudflare DNS for my server and run everything in Docker behind Traefik reverse proxy that automatically serves certificates.

    The price is about 15€ for the server per month, DNS is free, domain is under 20€ a year - although way cheaper ones exist.
