That's just not true. It is, some might say, ridiculously hard to do because these days there are so many i's to dot and t's to cross, but it's not impossible. A friend hosts his domains' email at home.

If you think they are just a CDN then you need to do some reading.
How the heck do I avoid Cloudflare when selecting a web host, please? I was considering getting a DigitalOcean “droplet” and running something in that, but I’m pretty sure they’ll be inside Cloudflare’s evil embrace. I asked in what I thought was an obvious place but was met by bewildered looks.

The privacy issues?
The fact that they defend hate speech? Terrorism?
That when they have an outage so does a good proportion of the www?

I suppose executing recruitment agencies is out of the question?
Ban ATS' (seriously, how could centralising all of everyone's personal information ever go wrong?!)
Have competent people working in Personnel departments (and thank you, I am not a Human "Resource", that's just your slave master mentality shining through)
And, yeah, executing recruitment agents. Sorry, but it has to be done, for the future of humanity. (Or maybe it doesn't? Are they actually able to interbreed with human beings?)

In other words they're testing what the Zurich city public transport system has been doing for years (as well as trams taking power from overhead cables, some bus routes do too)?

1 TB is enough for anybody.
I have a (non-automated) gas fired boiler supplying my heating. It comes on before I wake up so the house is nice and warm for me when I crawl out of bed. I also like the bedroom to be warm at night when I go to bed, so the radiator is on in the bedroom. What I don't like is waking up in a room that's too hot. So is there some way of controlling the TLV on my bedroom radiator, maybe turning it down overnight? I know I could just remember to turn it down when I go to bed, but the plain fact is that I don't.

I don't own one. I'd like to but I can't think of a practical use for one (for me). The only possible use I came up with was printing a case for my Raspberry Pi and I decided that it was cheaper to buy a commercially available case for £10 than paying a few hundred for a 3d printer.
To many software developers who happen to happen upon this, the community "!enoughvowshspam" could read as "not enoughvowshspam" because the exclamation mark is often used as negation. I am quite amused.

You don't have to look hard at all - petrol was hard to get hold of and is approaching record high prices, random foodstuffs aren't available, you can't see a doctor for love nor money, Brexit (obviously), Covid (obviously), idiotic decisions taken by Tory govt. that seems to have no clue how to govern and no concern for the state of the country of its citizens (most obviously of all). But never mind, Princess Di was lovely wasn't she.

I hate github with a passion. I have a slightly different name for it that I won't use here because I'm a polite c**t. They've sunk to a new low now though, in not displaying the URLs for git repos. Not if I allow their (non-free) Javascript to run, and certainly not if I don't. Maybe I'm not using an "approved" browser. Well at least MS' reason for buying github are clear now - if people can't get at the code then open-source dies.

I was thinking that if the police or someone like that got involved then it would be better to have the entire unaltered thing available, so that rather than delete it from the db it should just not appear in the front end.

I don't imagine there's any one thing that "causes" it. High standard of living helps (so more disposable income to spend on things like computers); a technological society, in the sense that people aren't afraid of technology or of being seen as an "engineer"-type of person; a somewhat left, privacy aware population and generally more altruistic attitude than in other countries I've lived in; finally, for my list, I think there's somewhat of a Streisand effect in that there are a large number of foss developers in Germany because they see that there are a large number of foss developers in Germany.

The answer to your question ("Why is it like this?") is because they have somehow convinced employers that they can provide something their own (useless) HR droids can't. It may or may not be true that they can, but they're so firmly entrenched between employers and potential employees in some industries that it's very difficult to find work without them. I think if I saw a recruitment agency building was burning down I'd barricade the doors so that fewer of them got out alive.

"Programmer" implies that all you do is write code. You may do. I do not.
Of course, that presupposes that you agree with me that it is shit. Okay, well, if you don't, you don't. Look. When I install a new system I do *not* want a screen reader. I do *not* want fonts for umpteen different languages that I didn't even know existed, let alone be able to read or write in them. Yes, all of those people that need those things should be able to install them, I don't disagree with that at all, but why the hell are they foisted on the rest of us, gobbling up disk space for zero reason? It gets worse. I'm not allowed to uninstall ubuntu-advantage-tools *despite not having Ubuntu Advantage*, because if I do so I'll find that I'd lose the ubuntu-minimal package, amongst other things, which is "used to help ensure proper upgrades" and you're warned you shouldn't unindstall it. Of course ubuntu-advantage-tools is just one thing, there are... let's just say "many" packages which you just couldn't live without (because if you tried to, a whole bunch of packages that you actually couldn't live without would be uninstalled as well. Like the GNU C pre-processor. Why? If I'm not doing C programming I don't want it. It's that simple. But great gobs of the system apparently rely on it. Or gcc. A running system relies on a fcking compiler. F. R. O.

I don't know. I can log in and use the web interface on the same device, so it's specific to lemmur.
I see from your linked article that "older Android devices that don’t trust ISRG Root X1 will continue to work with Let’s Encrypt, thanks to a special cross-sign from DST Root CA X3 that extends past that root’s expiration." So although I have an "older Android device" that I won't allow to update due to the manufacturer's "privacy" policy, it appears it should work, and indeed does in the browsers I've tested. As I say, it's just Lemmur that's not playing.
I know how to split windows (C-x 2 *or* C-x 3), and I know I can give a C-u number precursor to that to make the new window have that many lines, but is there (simple) way to "split window at current point", which... does what it suggests (splits the window at the line where the cursor is)? I can't find it, but it seems like a glaring omission if it's not something that's available. So glaring I might need to mark this post as NSFW so I can fill it with swearing.
I've been using K-9 for some years now. Today, some idiot (i.e. me) decided to update it through F-Droid. The new version is.... horrible. It feels like MS Lookout or some such sh...thing. Can anybody suggest a replacement that just does basic email and doesn't have some kind of "slick" UI? Thanks.
Setup: Ubuntu, Openbox, notebook, occasionally an external screen. I've set things up so that if an external monitor is attached when I start my notebook, a script (run by Openbox's autostart), xrandr makes that the primary monitor. What I'd like to do is run that script when I turn off or otherwise disconnect that external monitor, so that I can make the notebook's built-in screen the primary again. Does anyone here have any ideas how to do that automatically?
