I know a there are a lot of issues with self-hosting email, but I just don't thing this is one of them. First, it probably won't affect a self-hosted servers anyway unless you send a lot of emails, this requirement is only for servers sending 5,000 messages daily to Gmail. And even if you are, the requirements are not that harsh, it's a couple DNS records and a DKIM signing daemon, and if you are using a pre-build email package like mailcow it's probably already doing it.

Yep, I wish I bought all my VR games from steam, but I bought a few from oculus when I first bought the headset. Also some games are oculus exclusive :/

I actually figured it out trying to login to the app, I just needed to login to meta with my oclulus account credentials and it migrated it, not the most obvious thing. I like how the app constantly asks for location permission despite me not having a quest to pair it to. Also I find it funny that they care so little for the CV1 it shows a rift S for its picture lol

Facebook has owned oculus since before the CV1, but I agree it was much less intergrated and still felt like a separate brand. I'm definitely biased as fuck, but "oculus" is infinitely better than "meta". Much better sounding name. I just made a meta account to migrate my oculus account, but I can't find any way to do it on PC without a quest. I don't have a quest, so I guess I'm fucked?

How is this legal? Feels ridiculous to lose games I paid for just because I didn't migrate my account. Same with the Microsoft minecraft account migration. When I bought my CV1 there was the promise that I would not need a facebook account.

I was testing a custom initramfs that would load a full root into a ramdisk, and when I was going to shut down I tried to run rm -rf --no-preserve-root / to see what would happen, since I was on a ramdisk anyway. The computer would not boot after that because it nuked the UEFI options.

There is nothing like the sound of 2 dozen HDDs unexpectedly spinning down.
