I am doing my job for more than 32 years now. Email has been my primary method of communication from day 1 and I have archived nearly all emails (except spam and newsletters).That are in total 47 GB till today with a rate of adding about 3GB per year (email bloat is hitting me hard).I just cannot switch to #outlook Every time I tried, Outlook had one look at my email archive, whimpered, rolled over and died.Mozilla #thunderbird in comparison is doing a complete full text search over all my 30+ years of communication. That saved my ass multiple times.I keep one year of communication in one folder. That makes it easier to track complicated affairs where the subject has changed during the exchange.So here a big endorsement for OSS from me: https://www.thunderbird.net/

Do we have someone from #southkorea here that can explain things to an interested audience here?I do not understand how the suspended president could not be arrested.

@masek @quixoticgeek My grandfather was flight engineer on a plane that had the controls for its elevators and rudder shot away. He managed to jury rig something so that his pilot was able to get the plane back home to a landing they all walked away from.Grandad got a Distinguished Flying Medal for that and his pilot got a Distinguished Flying Cross – the highest gallantry awards specifically for airmen. Kshnyakin and Kalyaninov deserve *at least* that level of recognition from all of us.

If some courtier from the times of Herny VIII. in England were to be transported into our time, he would feel right at home right now and he would be much better in deciphering what is happening than most journalists.

From time to time, I read things that make me wince. Lately this happens quite a lot. Certain election results now play out. But while this one is related, it is not a result of that election. But it made me wince even more.Texas House introduces bill to establish a strategic bitcoin reservehttps://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/12/texas-house-introduces-bill-to-establish-a-strategic-bitcoin-reserve.htmlThere is nothing strategic about having a Bitcoin. Especially it will not be there, when you most need it. It is just a ploy to transfer money from the taxpayer to the oligarchs and get more suckers to invest.
