I have friends that send me tiktok links via whatsapp and then they ask questions about it like "what do you think, scam or not". I used to open them with cookies rejected in ddg browser but now it pretends to freeze after 4 seconds of play, then it says that i must open it in the app and replaces the "play" button with a fake button that leads to google play.

I assume that there's no way to watch it anymore without an account and without the app, right?

A week of downtime and all the servers were recovered only because the customer had a proper disaster recovery protocol and held backups somewhere else, otherwise Google deleted the backups too

Google cloud ceo says "it won't happen anymore", it's insane that there's the possibility of "instant delete everything"

I hate registering to websites. Especially when it's just to download FOSS.

It looks like there's no way to download Ondsel without registering?

This is ridiculous, and really a bad news for everyone as there's no way to talk with an human

Sorry, another news from this asshole, but this is too much assholery to don't be shared

Despite him being a shitty boss that fired employees that criticized him on twitter, he promised an "unlimited" legal defense fund to fight against employers that fired employees because of something they wrote on Twitter.

Under his tweet a lot of "verified" (=right wing) accounts plauded this and asked to fight employers who fired employees for having written something homophobic

I bought a domain on OVH and since I expected little use of email on that domain, I made do with the "included" email. The one that uses roundcube 1.4 (from the last century) as webmail.

One day I get an email:

Votre boite mail a atteint 90% de l'espace maximum autorisé sur le serveur. (your mailbox is full)

"It must be a bug, I have 5gb of space and I have only a dozen mails in the box" - I say to myself

But instead all the mails sent to this mailbox bounce with the error "mailbox full".

Since the mails are of little importance, I delete everything and empty the trash, now it is empty, but incoming mails are rejected with "mailbox full"

I open a ticket, they don't believe it at first, but after sending screenshots of both the roundcube quota and their panel showing that the usage is zero, they restore my access.

After a couple days I again get the usual email in French "your box is full".

I reopen the ticket and they tell me that everything is normal and that it is the fault of my email client.

Now that i think about, I did some experiments with python to see if I could see the mails on the server, but I put read-only access, I don't think it's my fault...

Here is the code:

import imaplib
import email
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from sendmail import SendMail
from connection import Connection

class GetMail:
    def __init__(self, connection):
        self.connection = connection

    def fetch_emails(self):
        # Connessione all'account IMAP
        imap = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(self.connection.imap_server)
        imap.login(self.connection.username, self.connection.password)

        imap.select('INBOX', readonly=True)

        imap.search(None, 'ALL')

        email_ids = data[0].split()
        email_ids = email_ids[:quantemail]

        for email_id in email_ids:
            status, data = imap.fetch(email_id, '(BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (FROM SUBJECT)])')
            raw_email = data[0][1]
            print('Raw Email:\n', raw_email.decode('utf-8'), '\n')

        if email_ids:
            try:
                email_index = int(input("Inserisci l'indice dell'email da scaricare: "))
            except:
                email_index = -1

            if 1 <= email_index <= len(email_ids):
                email_id = email_ids[email_index - 1]
                status, data = imap.fetch(email_id, '(RFC822)')
                raw_email = data[0][1]

                email_message = email.message_from_bytes(raw_email)

                eml_filename = f"email_temp.eml"

                with open(eml_filename, 'wb') as eml_file:
                    eml_file.write(raw_email)

                print("Email scaricata:", eml_filename)
            else:
                print("Indice email non valido.")
        else:
            print("Nessuna email trovata.")

        imap.logout()

It seems strange to me that if I log in one day with this program, then a few days later the box shows as full even though it is not, and deleting messages does not restore access.

Maybe if you log in with "readonly=true", then the server has a bug where it puts the whole box read-only and can no longer receive mail?

Imho a decision that doesn't make sense, Google already has paid for all the infrastructure so running the service to them is pure profit, not to mention the lost possibility to upsell Google workspace (paid gmail with a custom domain) or Google cloud services to all their customers.

Although I would never subscribe to something from Google for my business, then when they eventually change mind and kill my product, i have to migrate in an hurry. I've been hurted too many times

Finally after so many years the "never combine labels" setting is back and i can uninstall explorerpatcher

Because they're making Xbox Series games

(I was seriously thinking the new console was called "xbox one series S")

I have 49 gb of music and at the moment i just sync it between my devices with syncthing. But i think it will be better if i stream it, as the storage on my phone is limited.

Which streaming server do you recommend?

I saw nextcloud music, but i have the feeling it's half backed and it will just clog my nextcloud install. Or supysonic? Ampache?
