Can you recommend a mail server docker image like that? I have a hand cranked iredmail server that I’ve been babying for 5 years but I want to move it to either docker or an LXC.

I’ve been using Nextcloud for years and it has never performed well but I always put that down to my disks being slow.

It has gotten quicker over time, but not hugely.

I rarely use the web interface, I just use the mobile app to sync photos from my phone then everything on my network runs over NFS. It even that was a pain to get working with permissions with NC.

Now I want to try OC. I think the reason I went with NC was because it was meant to be the new and better developed OC after a bunch of OC devs left to form NC.

I have a domain name on cloudflare DNS, Let’s Encrypt certificates that auto renew and an Nginx reverse proxy pointing at the services I host. Port forwarding through the opnsense router for https.

It’s been a journey setting it up, but its basically been unchanged for about 5 years now and works well. If I need to I can VPN in too.

Name trends tend to skip generations. So if you look to the names of your grandparents generation and use them, there’ll be loads of them old names in their class at school.

Screen

A home server. Originally a Dell R710, now a custom built desktop.

If I can possibly self host something now I will do that over using big tech proprietary services. I feel free.

I loved that back on CDE on Solaris. But back then windows had borders you could reasonably click to bring the window to the front. Nowadays that would just be frustrating.

I saw my lecturers code. It was some of the worst code I’ve ever seen. If they’d written it in any company I’ve worked for over the last 20 years they’d have been sacked.

Most lecturers are more about the theory and computer science, not the practicalities of software engineering.

If you want to try Gentoo (you shouldn’t) you need the fastest processor and most memory you can get.

I have a T440p I am happy with, but I run Endeavour and only use a terminal and a browser.

Systemd is free software. It’s perfectly good. No one should care about init systems

Bought Prey last night as it was on sale an Steam for £2.45. I’ve only played it for an hour, but I’ve got my moneys worth already.

Agree, powershell is great. Its powerful, easy to write, readable and object orientated, not stringly typed

Take out the religious aspect and it looks like a good OS for families and kids. Linux is lacking in the parental controls department compared to other systems so this is nice to see.

How do you block the DoH servers in the pihole? Pihole is a DNS server, devices using a third party DoH server would just bypass the pihole as they’re using the IP of the DoH with no DNS lookup required. No?

To block DoH I think you need to block it at the firewall level with a list of blocked IPs for the DoH servers you want to block over 443

Best you can do is maintain a list of public DoH IPs and block them. Redirect all port 53 traffic to your own DNS server.

You know how when you sign up with gmail it only let’s you email other gmail users and no one with a different email domain? It’s like that.

Pick a site that’s not run by assholes and you won’t have to worry.

That’s an incredibly confusing thing to say to someone who doesn’t know what the fediverse is and wants to get involved. It raises so many questions, answers none of them and leaves.

It’s available to the end users - I.e. red hats customers. End users are who the GPL is there to help, not everyone on the planet.

I do have protonmail premium with my own domain, but the IMAP bridging is for desktop. It’s a small program that kind of works as a MITM, one side connecting to protonmail securely using, i guess, not IMAP, and the other acting as an IMAP server that your mail clients connect to. On mobile you have to use the protonmail app, AFAIK.

If you live somewhere wet, get a good quality waterproof coat. Like actually waterproof, not these fashion coats that really aren’t. £100-200/but it’ll last you at least 10 years. Assuming you’re at the end of teenagerhood where you’ve finished growing.

Otherwise I’d save to get a hifi system of decent quality. Something like wharfedale diamond 9.1 speakers and a second hand NAD amp, 3.5mm to RCA cable. Would set you up for a long time of musical enjoyment.
