Tbh I am using /e/OS as my daily driver and I fully agree, it just works.
Bonus points for the Nextcloud integration which I can tie to my self-hosted Nextcloud instance.
I do not understand all the negativity, I think it is a solid alternative in the ecosystem, and choice is a good thing.

Maybe, just maybe, they're having fun? FOSS is not only about corporate open-source, but also genuine curiosity. Both can have their place.

My experience was good: on my way in Paris -> Brussels arrived 10min early, and on my way out Brussels -> Paris I had ~15min delay (apparently because Police had to board the train before Brussels).
1) use a specialized distribution (I use yunohost but there are others). This makes configuring SPF, DKIM, TLS and more a breeze
2) use a reputable relay to send your emails (I use OVH but again there are plenty of other choices)
Of course it means you are not "pure" because emails you send will go trough a 3rd party (the relay) but it solved the delivery issue entirely for me, so that I can continue to benefit from all the other benefits of self-hosting.
Yep, AI scrapers have been breaking our open-source project gerrit instance hosted at Linux Network Foundation.
Why this is the case while web-crawlers have been scrapping the web for the last 30 years is a mystery to me. This should be a solved problem. But it looks like this field is full of wrongly behaving companies with complete disregards toward common goods.
