Yes, however he toiled for a while on his own before release when he was still at university, that’s the time period I’m referencing.

Well Torvalds was only one guy for the first couple years.

Immich to an NFS share that’s exposed to the nextcloud container is very seamless to the end user and can be setup in the external sources in the nextcloud web gui.

Well like any distro it’s not just the desktop environment (Gnome) but follows an opinionated setup and design. There’s bundled packages, design tweaks to the DE, config changes to packaged software, different default apps and repos for the base OS (Debian in this case) and other tweaks. Link below should explain this all in more depth.

I’d be wary of yandex

Yup.

Buy any domain name, doesn’t matter what. I pay 15 dollars a year for mine. https://gandi.net

https://mailu.io/2.0/ is pretty turnkey

https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver has a lot more customizability and you can chain together stuff like encryption, spam filtering, auto replies with an AI agent. However those are all other containers you’ll have to add into your environment.

Whatever you do, pay close attention to your SPF, DKIM and DMARC

Edit: OP asked for free, secure, and doesn’t get taken down for inactivity. If you want to do that and pay as little as possible, with the most security, you’ll have to self host. Otherwise you should pay for the service, or deal with the data brokers that offer free email. In capitalism, unfortunately, there is no free lunch.

I think that’s why most of us are here on Lemmy. However I don’t want to assume the motives of others.

I think privacy and social media are inherently at odds. Social media is built around the concept of sharing personal metadata through memes, opinions and is generally the point of socializing. Your personal data is the currency of social media.

Even the surface book 3 with it’s two batteries only got 7 hours for me with use.

It’s all about the TDP of the chip, pixel density and refresh rate of the screen and battery capacity.

Recipe for long battery life is low power CPU, lower resolution (HD vs UHD) screen, no touch input, bigger battery.

Tablets don’t usually follow that recipe.

Not seeing any of these papers you’re referring to. I’ll re-engage with this when you can provide sources and not personal anecdotes or opinion.

How many of these papers are peer reviewed? Can you show me medical studies with NIH funding and repeatable methods? Huberman uses the same principles as conservative think tanks.

Thousands of papers mean nothing without rigor.

Also it’s not just one article

I would be wary of the beneficial claims of Huberman and his “lab”

What a shitty take.

What do you want it to be? Read up on moderation and how that’s handled, host your own instance, contribute to the fediverse. Self hosted social media comes with it’s own challenges however you can get as much out of this as you put in.

I would point you two places as far as research on self hosting, db0 and eviltoast.org.

Db0 has a great AI moderation tool, eviltoast was recently plagued by a troll bot that kept creating new accounts and spamming threads with some pretty annoying posts.

Right. That’s why the term massive is preferred over any other reference to size. A black hole more massive than the sun would appear far smaller at it’s core.

I stand corrected
