I’ve turned off autocorrect long time ago. Suggestions are fine. The one click more when I’m wrong is worth my time and I’m automatically educated to type correctly.

I’ve been self-hosting Postfix for several years and it’s not difficult, if you’re absolutely confident what you do. I don’t recommend it if you don’t know basic behaviors and internals of SMTP and relaying. Also you need to know how to secure your server so you don’t get spammed a lot and getting hammered with brute force attacks.

From time to time you need to react to delivery problems. Most interesting one is perhaps Microsoft, which you need to ask to whitelist your server or your email won’t be accepted.

There won’t be such case is my argument. No one patches a system “for fun” and automatically there except they really set it up like that. It would be only one kind of a case in one company.

Furthermore, you cannot compare Linux systems. A modem firmware with busybox is not the same as a Debian PC desktop. It works differently and has only the kernel in common. And in both cases they aren’t patched at the same time. They are not even the same version, hell not even the same platform.

E.a. nothing will ever break like this. If it does, it will be one single case of a single IT department.

No. They don’t. They always need Microsoft support to solve situations and upgrades. You can also ask simple questions that they cannot answer. Try Active Directory: how to run AD in a secure fashion? Or: What services do rely on DCs in our company?

Probably not. Most Linux admins know their systems and are able to navigate out of the situation with ease. But also most people don’t use any corporate off-the-shelf software, because there are better options that are freely available.

Furthermore a Linux installation is dedicated and slim for one single purpose. The flexibility creates diversity.

Basically what I said to people who asked me about my opinion on AI.

Exactly it was: “AI is a tool like a hammer. If you hit your finger, don’t complain about the tool, but because you simply used it wrong.”

Me too. I use [email protected] for almost everything. Not only I can have many mynames, I also can have very many theirnames.

I recently removed my 25Gbps PCIe dual port cards from my 2 servers because they were using 20W more. My entire rack including 2 UniFi PoE connections uses 90 W now (so 110 W just for having 25 Gpbs).

There is some heat from such cards, but usually it gets transported outside fine. The ones I bought did not come with a fan. I think you cannot operate them without one. The heat sinks get very hot.

It’s so easy to work around an audit. Companies lie. Auditors are being bribed. Everything is based on trust.

You know posting a harmless remark by someone which in my opinion is not worth to be published is the core of the business of the yellow press.

We are talking about taste here. And some people have opinions. I just tried to reflect about this opinion.

Otherwise I don’t really care how the bride looks like.

Many people see a violet/blue shade as more white. There are some chemicals that reflect ultraviolet light for this effect.

The point is, it looks cheap. Maybe that’s what she meant. It’s the same with chalk white teeth. They are also weird. There is a natural white like “angel white” that is often used. It’s more yellowish and not that reflective.

I still don’t really know what you mean. How a document looks like depends on you. I’ve got very many fonts available, much more than average Microsoft Office user has. And it’s easier to use LibreOffice from my point of view, because it emphasizes structure. It looks much cleaner by default than MS Word. The only thing MS Word is better in is typesetting. LibreOffice simply fails to place letters properly.

Documents produced by office suites are not really good for publications. They are very annoying to handle, no matter if it’s MS Office or Libre. The cheapest option to have something professional is LaTeX.

I don’t understand why ODT is complicated. It’s a zipfile with inspectible data. The standard document is also not as vendor-specific as MS OOXML which is thousands of pages that everybody gave up upon.

It’s because it’s not the native format. How does MS Office show/edit ODT documents? Does it work better?

“We don’t care about service and quality. Oh, and we make it be your problem.”

Did you use iperf? It makes sure that HDD/SSD is not the bottleneck.

You can also check the statistics and watch for uncommon errors. Or trace the connection with tcpdump.

The only problem is sync across devices. There are not many good options. Maybe it’ll get better with DB support later.

Maybe it’s not what you want to hear, but I was looking these types of apps, too, some time ago.

Then I noticed that most of the apps are useless for me and found an interesting type of apps that implement a “second brain”. There are a few of them, but I chose Logseq.

Do they want to ban condensed water (fog) or something imaginary that does not exist?

I agree. I imagine I am a character in a game and God is the gamer playing the game. OP just asked, if God is made of pixels. Imagine this weird question…
