The map data is great but I guess I really mean navigation, which is... not great.

Yes, that's what's commonly said. Some anecdata I can offer: since last year I have used exclusively Osmand for navigating over 3000 km of cycle touring, on roads and paths of all types. The most common problem that arises is wrongly tagged surfaces (and occasionally access rights) for tracks and paths, i.e. for "roads" that do not even appear on the corporate maps. There is no comparison in terms of detail. Obviousl…

> And certainly the situation for FOSS public-transit navigation is still quite poor.

https://transitous.org/ (https://github.com/public-transport/transitous) works quite well.

I see, so their SMTP authentication is woefully broken and they let anybody who can send an e-mail from their SMTP server to put anything in From: ? That's rather hard to believe. The defaults of most SMTP servers like Postfix prevent that. Since I don't want to get banned I don't really want to test that option with their SMTP server. I took the https://emailspooftest.com/ and while the "spoof" mail gets delivered t…

I think on the sending side, being able to send from others’ addresses is fixed by now: https://userforum-en.mailbox.org/topic/anti-spoofing-for-cus... But it definitely used to be possible, I tried once with success. Anti spoofing for incoming mails was not perfect the last time I checked either, but is a different issue.

For incoming mail, your client should check regardless of the server provider. On Thunderbird I have this extension: https://github.com/mcortt/EagleEye . It checks for any SPF, DKIM and DMARC fails and shows a banner. SPF/DKIM/DMARC is minimum and pretty useless against spam though. All phishing e-mails in my GMail account have impeccable SPF/DKIM records.

>The same court that declined to take up Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election? Yes, that same court. It's incredible how rapidly the legal system has eroded in the US.

So you think SCOTUS should have entertained Trump's frivolous claims?

Yes it's always the evil Russians and the stupid people are influenced by TikTok so we need to tell them what they should vote! From e.g. Wikipedia: >At the time of his exclusion, Georgescu was leading in public opinion polls D'oh! >That was a stupid thing for him to say, but he is a private citizen How convenient he got fired, everything is good now, surely the Commission does not hold the same views as him! Are you…

Hitler and his cronies were so surprised that the system he had vowed to destroy let him in. > And don't get me wrong, I support neither https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance It is not about who you support and what your favorite color is.

And there is the Hitler argument!

I can recommend: * Hetzner.de for servers (I've been using their physical servers for many years now, incredible performance per € spent) * Fernand as your CRM, it's smooth and nice and so much better and faster than all the zendesks and freshdesks it's not even funny. ( https://getfernand.com/ ) * AISLER if you design electronics and need to make PCBs ( https://aisler.net/ )

Thanks, just a note that by "CRM" people typically think of Sales (Salesforce, Hubspot etc), not Support (zendesks and freshdesks).

Ehm sorry but no. CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management so … a support ticket is, by definition, a customer relationship event.

Salesforce spending millions to conflate “CRM” with “sales pipeline” was just marketing.

Also, Zendesk calls itself a CRM. Freshdesk’s parent is literally named Freshworks CRM. Gartner and Forrester have always put support under the CRM umbrella.

> Codeberg is a German-based nonprofit organization, and it’s hard to imagine going wrong with this choice.

I like what they're doing, however Codeberg's 14 day uptime is _97.05%_. I've heard from many that downtime is normal there, and is worse than GitHub (which is already... bad). This makes them a non-starter imo, until that improves.

With the current trend of things going down all the time, the best way to compete is just to be available.

ECHR decisions are (supposed to be) legally binding. If they're not obeyed, that's not a good look for rule of law in Europe. ECHR decisions are certainly not mere recommendations. >It can recommend changes to the national law, but it cannot force any state to do so ECHR can simply invalidate national law.

According to whom? You? The only thing ECHR cares about is one piece of "legislation", which is not a law, but a declaration (Declaration of Human Rights), so that you have some sort of internationally recognised body to go to whenever you feel that your local judicial system has done you injustice. That is all it does. That is all it is meant to do. That is the sole reason of its existence. It is not a legislative b…

>According to whom? You?

According to the European Convention on Human Rights, it's sort of the whole point.
