Yep, the issue is that the server stores the messages centrally in plaintext, and most email users nowadays assume that the server always has a copy. That's why we have PGP and ring-of-trust, and why there used to be a lot of push to use that with especially E-mail. Especially with the preparation to post-quantum era, any communication you actually want to stay secret should be encrypted with (symmetric) keys you exchange in person. That way there's no log or key exchange that someone can see or store, and thus break in the future.
Unfortunately people in general deemed the centralized solutions "good enough", and for "more secure" contexts we got the abysmally horrible solutions like Secure Mail. PGP's problem was, that the trust needed to be established in a distributed manner outside normal communication which the layperson found confusing. It also was problematic in corporate contexts, as proper client-side encryption meant that the company could no longer scan through employee messages.
It's still the best way to make e-mail safe, though.
I Finland det finns en argument varje år av vilken är det rätta alternativet för semlor – sylt eller mandelmassa.
Svenskspråkiga områden (t.ex. Österbotten) använder mandelmassa, finskspråkiga sylt (typiskt).
Edit: här är en artikel från YLE med en poll. 56,9 % sylt vs 43,1 % mandelmassa.
One of the main historical reasons was the Debian project's puritan approach to open source, meaning the distro was very picky about what it could easily run on. As an example, most network drivers for Realtek nics weren't included out of the box as they contained non-free code, there was no direct way to install Nvidia drivers instead of nouveau, a lot of the hardware didn't work in the installer unless you sideloaded the drivers from a usb stick and so on.
There was a non-free ISO version to get around this, but you needed to know of it to use it, and it wasn't provided anywhere by default. The download page for it was just a barebone directory listing within the mirror. No link or information was provided for it on the main project page.
Starting from version 12 or 13 (don't remember exactly) proprietary drivers have been included in the installation images, which removed the biggest pain point (IMO) for novice users. Apart from that Debian has been one of the easier distros to install, and has things like a considerably better experience when updating to the next major release. It's not really slower to update packages than Ubuntu, as I'd be wary of recommending the non-LTS versions to novice users. They tend to be quite unstable compared to LTS.
Personally I've daily driven Debian for close to five years, on all my devices except the work laptop. That one is running Ubuntu 24.04 as the employer requires either that or Fedora for Linux users.
Android Open Source Project, it's the open base that the actual Android releases are built upon. It's not really usable as is, since it lacks the required kernel blobs and software that people have come to expect (like Google's proprietary stuff).
I think I encountered it first in (old school) Runescape, where one of the songs in the soundtrack is named yesteryear. That was back before the old school distinction, when I was still in elementary.
It's one of the first tracks you hear when you start playing, in case you're not familiar.

Året runt tycker jag. Jag använder en hybridmodell mellan själv gjort och köpt: djupfrysta bullar och hemlagad sylt. Årets nyhet har varit en semla med biscoff i stället för sylt eller mandelmassa.
(Jag hoppas min Svensk kan förstås, det här är bara vad man lär i gymnasiet i Finland)
Back in the day the super rich couldn't bother to write any better, but at least they had the decency to hire a secretary so their messages were even somewhat legible. Seems like the habit of dictating your messages has all but vanished, even in professional contexts.
Maybe the 14-16 year olds they now "hire" are too young to write professionally, compared to the 18-20 somethings of yesteryears.

Siistiä nähdä että tollanen on olemassa. Oonkin ihmetellyt miten ei oo tullut vastaan sellasta sopparia missä pääsee itse pelaamaan suoraan futuureilla.
The tram line has been open for about two years now, but people still have trouble remembering the tram has the right of way. Maybe this will help, the audible warning doesn't seem to be enough since many people have headphones (understandable, noise cancelling is a must if the city has any car traffic).
Film shot at box speed, stand developed with Rodinal. This is the location of the old Crichton-Vulkan shipyard in Turku, which used to be a major shipbuilder in Finland. Some of the most significant ships to get built here were e.g. the submarines used by the Finnish navy in WWII, first of which was originally built as a prototype for the Reichsmarine. It's still possible to go see one of them, CV-707 or Vesikko, in Suomenlinna where it's on display.
The shipyard, after multiple restructurings, eventually located to Perno, Turku, and was eventually purchased by Meyer. Now it's mostly known for building the worlds largest cruise ships, such as the Royal Caribbean Icon-class. The old dry-dock and shipyard were developed into new housing, and on the right you can see some of the most expensive homes in all of Turku.
Picture taken from Renforsin ranta in Kajaani, a location of a former paper mill now housing the Finnish supercomputers as well as LUMI, a jointly owned machine that was the fastest in Europe back in 2023 when it was built.
Shooting my first roll of Delta 3200 went well. The development, however, did not. In this picture there are examples of bent film, fingerprints, film getting wet when being put onto the spiral and sticking to itself – but they end up looking quite cool in my opinion.
The picture itself is taken from the operations center in the now retired Finnish Navy minelayer Keihässalmi.
First tests with medium format, with the new-to-me soviet beauty. Finally got my hands to a economical flatbed capable of medium format, in this case an old canoscan 8000f. It doesn't have recent drivers, so my current workaround is a VM running Win 7 – might write SANE drivers for it at some point if it doesn't prove too difficult a task. Resolution is low (2400dpi) but enough for medium format since there's more to work with (I already have a dedicated machine for 135), and it's not like more recent flatbeds are much better in terms of real optical resolution. What these have got going for them is the price, got mine for 15 €.
Ever since Mv3 came into enforcement I've been using a local DNS blocklist in /etc/hosts (UHB more specifically) for locking the browser down as much as possible. Unfortunately this has lead to some major issues when browsing, i.e. 5-10 second latency for every single request that goes through the browser. Can't completely stop using some Chromium-browser since I need to test my work on the browser at some point.
I'm suspecting it's due to the browser waiting for some telemetry endpoint, or trying to get around the block through some other means (which won't work since outgoing DNS via anything else but the gateway is blocked in the firewall), and giving up after a specified time. At this point I've narrowed the issue down to the full version of UHB, as when toggling this off the requests no longer hang before going through. Firefox doesn't suffer from the same issues – every Chromium-derived platform suffers, though, including Electron applications like VSCode. Toggling async DNS off hasn't helped (which previously supposedly has helped some), neither has turning secure DNS (read Google's system DNS sinkhole workaround) off.
Out of curiosity, has anyone else encountered the same issue or is using a version of Chromium that's not suffering from the same issues? This is getting a bit infuriating, and though I've already moved my browsing on Firefox, it's still bothersome to run e.g. UI tests when every fetch operation takes 10 s. This even happens when connecting to stuff running on localhost or LAN addresses.
First time trying caffenol. Development turned out relatively well, though the film was underdeveloped – also there were some issues with fixing since I wanted to try using a salt bath instead of proper fixer (the real fixer had gone bad). Ended up having to use actual fixer anyway and as a result the film ended up a bit foggy.
Overall I'm still happy with the results but will probably stick to Xtol and Rodinal for now.
Or, if you do want to do illegal shit over unencrypted forms of communication, use your own encryption layer on top, so you can actually be 100 % sure that there's real E2EE. This is the way e-mail encryption was meant to work, before someone added TLS to the standard and everyone thought it's OK as they trust the e-mail service provider.
