> Postfix can easily be configured to reject incoming emails from senders without a reverse DNS mapping for their IP address, which makes it reject a lot of spam

Historically some corporate domains ignore that rule (yea, in 2025!), so I would advise not to reject any email and run everything through spam analysis daemon. This way you won't lose any email at expense of elevated load on your server


Same here. Dont wanna piss on your party but I don't see any particular pride. Prime minister or any minister to that matter are pretty pathetic positions in my books, but that's totally different conversation.

No delivery problems if you set up everything correctly. It's not luck, just the same reason why well maintained car runs smoother than something that's seen last maintenance 100,000 miles ago.


While I am not a Thiel fan, calling someone a fascist is a pretty bold accusation. Hope you can substantiate your stance.


I think the onus is on you at this point to go and actually read about what he has done in the last ten years. It’s not up to someone else to spoon feed it to you.


Though it's only the name callers who know "what he has done". You should at least try make your case if you want to convince someone else.


He knows he can't so he tries to blame everyone else.


You’ve just completely made up something here to presumably make yourself feel smart? Literally tens of thousands of words have been published on this topic. Asking someone to read them isn’t some unreasonable request.

What is unreasonable is turning up in a discussion and saying either none of that pre-existing material counts for nothing or that I shouldn’t have to do any work here and instead you should “debate me bro”.


Yet these words I've never seen. You probably do your reading in a niche environment, that is why I'm asking for any actual content.

Also, unlikely that I'll debate you, I'm just only wondering what that reading material you refer to is about.

Edit: Which chat group, website, forum, video channel would you recommend?


I would consider myself fairly informed with what he has done in the last 10 years. And while I don't like some of it, nothing of that can remotely be used to justify calling him a "fascist".

It's expected you can't substantiate your words. Easy escape blaming someone else isn't it?


Listen, I’m going to be honest with you, when you say that you’re well informed and it’s just everyone else overreacting I don’t believe you.

But I’m happy to be proved wrong so why don’t you go ahead and show me by giving your best faith interpretation as to why you think someone might call him a fascist.


Imagine my and everyone else’s surprise to hear your silence on this one a full day later… couldn’t have seen that coming a mile away but go on and tell me more about how it’s on everyone else to do the hard work and convince you with detailed arguments. Heaven forbid you had to lift a finger here yourself.


Given how you twist facts, I usually don't waste time to discuss things with people who are throwing unsubstantiated accusations, blame everyone else when asked to substantiate.

You made accusation that is absolutely unsubstantiated and blatantly false. When suddenly asked to substantiate it, you bailed out by telling everyone to do their work.

Thats the answer why noone reasonable would engage in any discussions of that quality and manner.


After seeing some of your other arguments down-thread, I will not be engaging with this comment as it's clearly not in good faith. As others have said, go read what he's said, and what he's done, and if you don't see a fascist, then take a hard look in the mirror. Then maybe see if you can understand why he is also an authoritarian oligarch. Reading his own words and actions will tell you that too.


> but he’s just so uncharismatic that he’ll never get anyone onboard whatever vision he has

I miss the times where vision was determined by substance, not charisma or other irrelevant to final result traits.

Its probably the reason why we have so many charismatic people pushing the world to the edge by stupid agendas. People just buy it.


I'm not clear on what substance he has beyond his argument of "I'm really smart and really rich and I think I should run things" though.


Also the technocrat vibes of "I'll grind the poor to a fine powder and use it to fertilize my private garden if no one stops me" are somewhat lacking in charisma.


> I really do not trust the UK government. They have proven over and over and over, that at every opportunity presented they will increase their own authority. I don’t believe I have personally witnessed any other advanced economy that so ardently marches towards authoritarianism.

You can safely replace the UK with any other government and it will stand. Likely the UK one just desperately trying to push dividing issues in order to distract from what really matters to the UK citizens.

Or they are just inherently stupid and just do what they are told. Its unfortunate what the UK governance degenerated into.


People listen to chatgpt "advices" for their lives.

Lets not talk about morons, clearly yours (or mine to that matter) estimation is way off real numbers.


Yeah and people (and bystanders) have experienced some terrible outcomes already from diving deep with AI therapists.

It's going to be the wild west for a while now with AI and robotics before laws catch up. Maybe there'll soon be a market for pocket EMP devices out there...


Thats nowhere near reality. Its used a lot in corporate world.


> It's unfortunate that email hosting and email infrastructure can really be done only well by major players. The days of people running and maintaining their own are pretty much long gone.

Its really not. Everyone can do that (doesn't mean everyone should). I'm running it for millions of emails daily and don't see why I would crappy proprietary service instead.


> the internet was worse without Cloudflare

Thats a very bold statement, would you mind elaborating it?


Exactly at the moment people start buying BS from Brussels's ursula, roberta and rest of corrupted clique.
