Ah, nice. Alright. Thanks again. I'll see how I can do it. Unfortunately I've already set everything up, joined Rooms and connected a few bridges. I hope it doesn't break. I'll do a backup first. Seems reasonable and not that hard to upgrade.

Oh well, seems both reasonable. Maybe I should switch before the projects diverge too much. Conduwuit seems pretty active. Hope it stays that way.

Do you happen to have a link where I can read the backstory myself? Thanks for the info anyways. Seems to be a good call.

I found that. Seems it mainly addresses caching and database performance, adds some admin and moderation commands. I'm not sure if it addresses any of the shortcomings I have.

My main question is: Which one is going to be maintained in the years to come and have the latest features implemented? And secondly: Why a fork? Why don't they contribute their fixes upstream to Conduit?

Not possible. Almost all mailservers have migitated for this kind of thing. Even if you wrote a script, it wouldn't work on any properly configured mailserver..

My budget for going out also isn't that high. But I don't think there is a strict correlation between price and tastiness of food anyways. Sure it'll get more fancy the more you pay. And there is some minimum if you want some quality. But after that it's not necessarily getting more and more tasty. At least in my opinion. I'm perfectly fine with the more affordable food. Some nice Tantanmen ramen every now and then, or those tasty rice bowls with tofu and minced meat. Or middle eastern food. That's almost always nice. It's not super cheap, but doesn't cost an arm and a leg either. Unfortunately my favorite pizza and burrito place isn't around anymore.

There are some exceptions to the rule though. Some ingredients are just pricey. But I really don't need those kinds of things on a regular basis. Sushi also isn't something I get often.

It's the same argument FUTO and Louis Rossman have to make their apps source-available. If you ask me, it's a cheap excuse. They could as well enforce their trademark or have Google remove it.

This way it's just another closed source app that doesn't grant the users any additional freedoms.

I think that's fine. You can put mayo and spring onions on every dish and it'll look more Japanese in my opinion. There is no reason to be cheap with the mayo anyways. Never.

Hehe. Yeah, Bibimbap is Korean. So not exactly the same thing. And as far as I know the word literally means "mixing" and "rice". I think it's really tasty. And it comes pretty spicy in the restaurants I've had it (Which is far away from Korea.)

Agreed. I think most prominently competitive gaming; development where you need to assure it later on actually works as intended on the target platform; and business stuff where parties are obliged by contract to guarantee something works flawlessly and keeps running that way - are good examples.

That laptop doesn't look to me like it was intended to do any of that, so that's maybe why I'm being a bit negative here. It's cool and a nice idea, though...

(And we already have ARM-based retro machines, FPGA clones if popular processors available. So there is no need for them to do the exact same thing.)

You're probably right. I think the form factor is mainly due to sushi being finger food. And Japanese people seem to like bite-sized food anyways. I mean they don't hand you a knife in the first place so there wouldn't be any way to cut your food even if you wanted.

I'm not an expert on sushi either. And I wonder if it really has a long tradition of how it's supposed to be done. I suppose what we deem authentic are relatively new inventions. Like conveyor-belt restaurants aren't from the 18hundreds. And they certainly didn't eat raw salmon before refrigerators were commonplace.

That's true. On the other hand, frying a good piece of beef beyond well-done also isn't how it's supposed to be. It'll just get dry and destroy the thing. And similarly, if you put a high quality piece of raw salmon on rice and then proceed to make it just taste of too much wasabi and salty soy sauce, makes the salmon kinda pointless. I'm not sure. People do all kinds of silly stuff with foreign food. Including mixing all the sauce, wasabi and ginger and stuffing it in their mouths... There are worse sins available to do, but I always wonder what kind of taste buds these people have.

I mean I don't care about that stuff too much. I just put whatever I like on sushi. I think that happens to align with what is deemed appropriate. It's a bit boring without salt, but I want to taste the fish and rice so I use the sauce sparingly. In the end the important thing with food is that it ends up in my stomach and feeds me.

I think a good display of respect and that you enjoyed something, is to finish your plate. But that doesn't mean you got to swallow everything at once?!
