I just installed calrs, a recent alternative to cal.diy. It absolutely rocks! The only downside is that it requires me to activate STARTTLS as force-TLS-SMTP isn't supported (I had to check the source code). It’s young, very promising, and honestly, I don't know what I could ask for more.
I also replaced Radical with rustical, and I gained free push updates.
Their internal IT infrastructure runs self-hosted OSS wherever possible. I don't think cal.rs is a toy project, they know the perils and headaches of doing open source.
Who gives a shit. Cal.com is written by hand and the code is absolute garbage. Of all people that should be luddites I never imagined software engineers would be the most pointlessly staunch advocates of that philosophy.
I just try on Qwen3.5 local. « I cannot discuss such topics ». That is crazy.
But it's the law there. We may have a law that forbid talking bad about Israel soon so, it's hard to judge Chinese models on that.
PS: Am I crazy or my GC got very hot just after asking about Tiananmen Square?!!!
PPS: Reproducible. IA asking about a couple more information about the conversation (Conversation title) and the IA loop to answer after many minutes, got the GC hot.
I'm sorry, but that is not how email address are spammed in bulk.
The data-source are the enormous data breach that are more and more frequent.
There is more intensive to collect more information on someone you already know something about than spamming an email you don't even know if it's a valid one.
The spam can also be very more effective as it present itself with personal information about the spammed.
I'm not denying that it happens.
I'm saying that it not the classical way to spam people nowadays.
It's obvious to any non native english speaker, when you have a spam in english, it is because they toke the email from the web. When it's in you native language, it's usually from a data breach.
I'm vastly more spammed by the later. I can confirm it with unique email addresses of the "+" form (but not with the + character).
Also when I'm spammed in english, it's for Web3 crypto stuff and from a data breach it's a phishing attempt.
I’ve run a small thingy last year, on its own domain, with a (project-specific) email in plaintext on the homepage. I’ve got a fair bit of spam to that address.
But yeah, I’d say most junk mail is coming to (1) an address leaked from one Russian bank (!) I used, (2) the address listed in public business databases (I have a company in Estonia).
If you're only passing the address in private to some service, you can just use [some-string-unique-to-that-service]@yourdomain.com. Or, more classically, plus addressing to do the same. Then you just block that recipient.
That solution doesn't apply to the use case in the article.
Surely spammers just turn `me+leaked/sold@mail.com` into `me@mail.com` as well as `me+apple@mail.com`, `me+softbank@mail.com` etc. The cost of stripping any `+postfix` must be about zero even at volume.
Some people block all mail to non-plus-addressed emails on that inbox, so a plus address is required to be received at all. You could say then spammers will just add a random one, but they wouldn't be getting bounces and would have to guess as much. Still, even stripping the +'ed part is beyond what most of them even bother to do. That dropoff plus normal spam filters works well enough.
> Yes. OpenYak is local-first. Your conversations and files are stored only on your machine. When using cloud models, only API calls to LLM providers leave your computer.
So local-first and still upload files to cloud models if you configure it.
Catala is not at all about "proving the law" formally (I'm not even sure what it would mean?). It's about having a formal language to translate law into that both matches the way law is usually written ("default logic") and allows to make numerical computations on. This can typically be used to implement tax or benefits law so that it is way easier to check that the algorithm computing taxes/benefits is correct compared to the actual state of the art of using general purpose programming languages.

Dang, I wish all law was written like this instead of the purposefully obfuscated legalise of (lobbied) legislative lawyers meant to mislead people and slip in loopholes for their interest groups to profit of.
Clear legislature is definitely something every person in the world would benefit of - if the the country's administration would want that.
For me, a great advantage is that this system makes it far simpler to understand the impact of a change, say a multi-pronged bill incl millionaire taxes, energy subsidy changes etc.
I don’t know if they do it, but it allows proving properties of the law. For example, that the tax increases with income or that an exception doesn’t accidentally increase the tax paid.
