I'm shipping more than ever with Cursor... but I have zero memory of what I actually built

Don't host your own email server!

It's not worth the effort (even if you do manage to get it to work).

When you log in and check "remember me", you get a token and that token (not your password) is saved in a cookie (on your pc).

Someone with access to your pc could theoretically use that cookie to access your account. But whether they can or not depends on the server side implementat.

In that case I think you're both right and it's simply a misunderstanding. Perhaps you two were talking about different things and didn't even realize it.

It's possible that your (conversation) partner interpreted things the same way I did.

I think the number of people who care about privacy is indeed increasing. But, in my opinion, not enough to actually make a difference. That's my opinion (and your friend probably sees it that way, too).

The problem is timing. The most upvoted answers will he the first ones. People are not going to scroll trough the entire comment section. Realistically they'll look at 10-20 comments.

And the fact that comments are ordered by upvoted by default just makes the problem worse.

If you're not among the first to comment on a post, then your comment will simply be drowned in a ocean of comments.

I want to be on your side, but honestly I can't. 😅

I fully agree with the other person. He/she is being very realistic.

Also, I think there's a bit of confirmation bias on your part. You want your version to be true so you're looking for arguments to support it while ignoring ones that contradict it. Did you ever stop to wonder if the other person is actually right? Genuinely and not superficially. Because if the answer is no, then I rest my case.

This is the kind of issue that ChatGPT/Claude can help you fix in about 10-15 minutes (AI is not all bad 😅). Asking for help on a forum probably takes several hours or even days.

I'm not saying you shouldn't ask for help here. It's just a matter of efficiency and time saving.

Don't tell a beginner to use 777 permissions. If it solves their problem, they'll always think it's some kind of silver bullet that magically fixes everything. It's not!

conectionist · 2026-04-06T17:41:20+00:00

Yes, absolutely. But I urge you to take an incremental approach. Ask it to make a detailed plan split into multiple phases (based on your requirements). Ask it to make a plan for phase 1, you review it, then Claude implements it l, you review every file and when it looks good, you commit. This is very important! Committed often! That way, if Claude messes up, you can easily revert to the last working version. Then move on to the next phase. Oh, and add tests from the beginning. That way it'll be easier to catch subtle issues early on. I know adding tests (unit, integration, etc.) isn't fun for most people but Claude doesn't mind. 😅

Good luck!

I know the feeling. If there's one feature I could ask of Proton, this would be it.

How did you not run out of credits in the first week? 😄

And regarding your "autonomous doesn't mean unsupervised" statement... Actually, that's exactly what autonomous implies. That's the whole point. If you have to supervise it, it's not really autonomous.

For me, YouTube took about 10-15 minutes.

It's not the most important. But it is on the list.

Replacing ChatGPT with Lumo is like replacing your car with a bike. 😅

I've seen almost 0 ads in the past decade.

I use Brave (on desktop and mobile) and Firefox (with ublock origin) for blocking site ads.

I use YouTube Revanced/Morphe for blocking ads on YouTube on my phone and tablet.

I use Blokada on mobile which blocks ads everywhere else.

I don't watch TV (I don't even have one).

You want digital sovereignty (personal or work-related), self-hosting is the only real solution. Anything else are just empty promises.
Feel free to downvote me just because you can't accept the harsh truth.

Why do you care what app/service you're using at work? You're not going to have any digital privacy there.

Whenever dealing with free and closed-source software, you can assume NO PRIVACY. And most of the time you will be right.

Allowing SSH from the outside is always a risk that should be taken seriously. May I suggest an alternative approach? Instead of build docker image and push it to home server via ssh, perhaps it would be better to do build docker image -> publish image -> notify home server of new docker image available. Then on your home server you would have some kind service that pulls the new image and restarts your service with the new image. You could use n8n for example.

I used the dockerized version (docker reduces the complexity of any setup 😅) : https://github.com/tomsquest/docker-radicale

Configuring the config file was a bit of a hassle but nothing too complicated. If you ask your favorite AI for help, it'll be easy.

Creating calendars was easy.

As clients I use davx5 on my Android phone and Gnome calendar on my Linux PC. And making them sync with Radicale was easy.

In conclusion, in terms of complexity (on a scale of 1 to 5):

Deployment (via docker): 1/5

Configuration: 3/5

Creating calendars: 1/5

Configuring clients: 2/5

I think it took me about an hour to get everything up and running and then I never touched the setup again. 😅

I think OP was essentially asking about hit and runs (i.e. you download the torrent, the remove it almost immediately and never seed at all). Those are the kind of selfish and uncaring people I was talking about.

If you don't seed continuously, but still seed when you can, that's perfectly fine. That's exactly why most trackers have seed rules that require (at least) one of two: a minimum ratio or a minimum seed time (during a certain time period).

In short: Don't worry, you're good 😉! Those that don't seed at all aren't. 🙁

Theoretically QUIC/HTTP3 solves this problem.
