My experience has been that MAIB version updates are usually very smooth. Regular OS update (apt update/apt install) are smooth. The big problem is that the recommended path is to install on a fresh system when moving…
FWIW, I use MIAB and my e-mails aren't dropped regularly from what I can tell. Before this, I was using a mix of CPanel and gmail but for a variety of reasons, I wanted to take greater control of my e-mail. I signed up…
Sitelutions.com still offers this. Without a paid account, the only limitation is the TTL.
You have to think about Postel's law in terms of protocols and mistakes in your implementation. You assume your implementation isn't perfect and neither is the other. Do your best to be perfect and if you get something…
I agree with you 100%. I've had it for quite a while. When I see Youtube without being logged in, I really can't imagine using the at all with the current level of ads - it's gotten way worse in the past few years. I…
I'm self hosting with mail-in-a-box as well. It comes with a nextcloud install. It hasn't been flawless but it's been good and I'm happy to have some control. With e-mail, I haven't had any problems with one exception.…
Knowing a number of foreign medical grads, I'd have to agree that they are not, as a rule, skethcy.
I also like and use Joplin - it can sync with anything that uses file sync but recently released its own server which is supposed to be faster.
Actually, they do. You pay half of the payroll tax and the company pays the other half. This is payroll tax and not income tax, that is Social Security and Medicaid. This is why if you're self employed, there is a self…
In KDE, in addition to being able to do this full screen, you can have regular windows without any chrome if you want. You just right click on the window title bar and change settings. You can easily set a rule to do…
This question (and the one above right now) are good points. GPG isn't really a killer feature right now. I likewise haven't needed secure e-mail in a while. I just happened to notice it when it migrated stuff over. I…
I've noticed that many of the linux repos are not up to date. If you're using those, you probably need to install it directly from the website to get the latest version and see the updates. The major features that have…
I've been using KeePassXC for a few years now. Before this, I was using LastPass and then before that, the original KeePass. Feature-wise, KeePassXC does a really good job replacing and going beyond LastPass. It can…
Ubuntu does support fingerprint login if you have supported hardware.
I really like duplicati. It works in Linux, Windows and MacOS. It has good support for tons of back ends for storage (nfs, cifs, dropbox, s3, ssh, etc). The software is FOSS and it has a design that is well suited to…
Thanks for writing this up - you did a great job. I came across it on a DDG search when I was exploring WireGuard and as a result, I found it easy to setup!
In addition to the Chrome app, there is the Chrome extension. They basically do the same thing and the extension has no expiration message. The main reason I wasn't using the extension before is that it didn't provide a…
The rules also prohibit commercial communications (i.e. pecuniary interest). There are some limited exceptions which depending on your use may be enough. That said, ham radio is a fun hobby regardless. If you are into…
Aircraft bands use AM rather than FM because of the FM capture effect. When there is a double transmission with FM, the receiver will lock on to one signal and exclude the other. With AM, you will hear both as well as,…
The slowdown of fiber vs vacuum is about one third. A 33% reduction in latency is fairly significant for some applications. I've heard of financial trading firms using microwave relay towers for this reason. The other…
That's a fair point - there isn't really a major difference in that case. Thinking back, I remember using the MDI mIRC and having an active channel in its own window. The rest of the channels and lists were inside the…
The other day, I was just thinking about the old Multi-Document Interface that used to be so common in the Window 3/Windows 95 era. MDI was done well in old versions of mIRC and very poorly by StarOffice…
The way it worked was that as you bought, you could select the region that you wanted. You would be charged based on the number of pixels in the region. I actually have seen the server that it was on. The hosting…
That is really the purpose of the amateur service. It is available to the general public with an inexpensive / free license. Business use is prohibited. There are a lot of other rules that you may or may not like but…
It sounds like you are describing different communities with different problems (i.e. Flint, MI doesn't have problems with frequent Brown outside - that was California 15 years ago) as though they are the same one.…
