I send mail directly. I have a public IP address. I had to remove it (a few times) from a list of 'dynamically residential address space'. I have configured the server carefully and implemented SPF, DKIM and DMARC. I have proper revDNS records. Currently my mail doesn't seem to be considered SPAM by Google or others more often than other mails.

When filters consider some mail spam there usually is a reason. The trick is to find the reason and understand how to mitigate it. Some anti-spam measures are not fair (like blanket blocking whole countries or ISPs), but I was lucky enough not to be bothered by those.

It is not that bad. I have been running my own mail server for 20 years and i generally don't have more problems with it than users of 'big and known' mail server do (it is not like GMail is perfect). And when there are problems I am usually able to tell what happened.

But this does not mean I would recommend self-hosting mail server to everybody. I am an expert, have been doing this professionaly for years. And it is an ongoing fight. It is not like I set it up in 2000 and it has been working since then without changes or incidents.

I am not sure about that 'in practice' in Russia. People falling from windows or dying in labor camps are not just accidents.

Probably the logic of the ruling party: this president is not great, but if we impeach him now there will be elections and a new president will be elected, this time one from the opposition party. Competent president working for the other party might be considered worse than an incompetent and corrupt one.

I am sure they would vote for impeachment if they had real chances of winning the presidential elections.

Disclaimer: I know nothing about Korean politics, except some recent headlines.

Many drones were shot down. People were hiding in shelters. Lives were saved through various countermeasures, but this does not mean the attack was not big.

Unfortunately they started to play with AI too :-(

In Poland because of that some sellers sell coconut milk as 'coconut drink'. Which makes no sense.

I hope they can be held accountable for mistreating those 'transplants" (what an ugly word!) too. But I guess that would be easier here in EU than in USA.

And what if one has shitty parents?

For now it seems the military took over. They say 'temporarily', but they always say that... it might, as well, be just a change of the dictator. Let's hope it is not the case, this time.

When you pay them as long as you use the mouse, they have a business reason to keep it working as long as possible (so to use batter switches) and sending you a new one when one breaks can still be profitable for them. Software updates are less important here.

I guess for end users it will still be cheaper and more convenient to buy a new regular mouse with a one-time payment after the previous one breaks. And that is how electro-trash piles up...

And these are mostly capitals – prices there are usually far above prices in our cities and towns in the same countries. And differences between capital cities and other places may differ in different countries. So it is not very representative for Europe as whole.
