<p>> Fastmail reads or analyzes users email to sell ads? Fastmail trains ai models on their user's email messages?<p>Even though they have not been caught, it does no mean they are not doing so. We live in the world of zero trust.<p>> Metadata is more valuable than message content for analysis. GPG solves that how?<p>In most cases yes, only From: and To: headers are exposed.</p>

<p>Delta Chat is an email client I use and advise to my correspondents, it does GPG stuff quite comfortably. Yet it still requires understanding of the process.</p>

<p>> The second is AI assistance: tools that summarize your inbox, surface action items, draft replies, and in some cases take actions on your behalf.<p>That is the most evil part. Finally we will have bots talking to bots, no human in the loop.<p>All email problems can be solved with GPG, but that ruins Fastmail and other email services business, as they won't be able to read and analyze their users' emails. No ads, no selling user profiles to ad companies, not even teaching AI on user data. This is the kind of future of email I would like to see. Sadly, noone uses GPG and it's quite hard to teach people to do it.</p>

<p>I think I know quite some things about OS internals, but not that much as a guy how writes device drivers daily. Would happily read such book to get in par with the author.</p>

<p>> This book has negative value. It is actively destructive to FreeBSD, even if in the short term it boosts the author's public profile.<p>I won't be that radical, the book still has value. There are many useful code samples with descriptions and explanations of concepts I did not know before. But to get to them one has to dig through a forrest of useless tokens. Someone has to pass it through an LLM and publish distilled edition. :-)</p>

<p>> This book is a dishonest AI scam.<p>Indeed! I read through a couple of paragraphs. Each begins with a bloated introduction where each sentence repeats same idea many times in different words. Lot's of bullets repeating same statement. That's exactly how LLM scam looks like. The whole book is full of water. It can be reduced in size by a factor of 5.</p>

<p>When I was watching that Lunduke's video a couple of days ago initially I was thinking he's just making a joke of that Vendefoul Wolf distro on 200MB box. I recalled using FreeBSD as access server with lots of modems (PPP/SLIP), Apache, Samba and QuakeWorld server running on a box with just 32MB of RAM. That was also my daily working machine with XF86 and Enlightenment desktop manager, circa 2000. So, 200MB is a whole lot of memory!</p>

<p>That's interesting, thanks. I feel a need for simple multitasking/networking OS for synthesizable RV32I core (not RTOS like, but more like Unix or CP/M). Would be nice to try Plan9 on it once port is out.</p>

<p>Get two FTDI FT232RL chips, connect them together on serial side (RXD->TXD, TXD->RXD, GND<->GND). Plug into USB ports of your computers, run terminals (or any other software that supports serial I/O), send/receive data. Can use XYZModem to send files, PPP for TCP/IP networking, etc. No programming involved. Cheap as hell.</p>
