I just wanted to know what those SMS are about. This year I got 1 SMS from an actual human being. Obviously he forgot that I read emails 1000x more often than messages.

I’m a bit curious. I don’t get many SMS. Maybe 10 a year. Mostly 2FA from companies who are too dumb to implement TOTP. And got only 1 MMS in my life.

What do you need SMS/MMS for?

Or their subsidiary: Netcup.

I use Nextcloud for that. On Android phone it’s DAVx5. Thunderbird can use the contact via CardDAV, DAVx5 syncs them with the Android addressbook. Fossify Contacts is nicer than the Google contacts app.

The same way it’s done with my appointments. I have also replaced the native Google calendar with the Fossify Calendar here, because it’s less annoying.

TLS is a transport encryption. PGP is content encryption. The latter one is what is most important, even if almost no one uses it.

I’ve been using Logseq for almost 2 years. But I want to try Anytype now. Both are “local first”.

So it’s the good old client certificate authentication?

That’s what I do, too. My Dovecot is at home and I collect emails from all my accounts using fetchmail.

Nice thing is Dovecot Pidgeonhole for Sieve and Flatcurve for ultrafast indexing and search.

Yeah, haha. 😂

Wait a moment… 🤔

2 HDDs (mirrored zpool), 1 SATA SSD for cache, 32 GB RAM

First read: 120 MB/s

Read while fully cached (obviously in RAM): 4.7 GB/s

My Dovecot is still 2.3.21. It’s the most recent package. But you’re right the update doesn’t look trivial.

With an IMAP server you have the power to serve your own emails. fetchmail will deliver them constantly to this place. You have all emails in one place and you login just to your own server.

Basically what I said. Dovecot can be installed on every Linux or BSD system. You’ll need Pideonhole and FTS Flatcurve as extensions.

When you install fetchmail, you can let it connect to all your IMAP or POP3 servers. Each process will deliver your mail instantly to your own Dovecot server.

You’ll also need a certificate for Dovecot. This can be solved using Letsencrypt.

You can use any mail client you want. I use Fairemail on Android. On desktop and notebooks it’s Thunderbird.

I sync my emails using a Dovecot IMAP server on my home server. I fetch emails from all my accounts with fetchmail and sort them into the right folders using Sieve. They get indexed and are searchable (ultra fast!).

225000 emails in 13 GB (ZFS; uncompressed 18 GB).

My theory is that not all people are hardliners. They are misrepresented for the opposing propaganda. It’s always exciting to present the other side with full outrage.

I personally think that outrage is evil. It polarizes and is not based on facts, but emotions. People who produce and publish outrage want to destroy the country and its society.

That’s why you won’t see much of the things you’re worried about. You’ll only see tendencies, because there’re really a few hardliners somewhere.

IT departments noticed there are more viable options than VMWare. Thanks Broadcom!

This is an old PC (Intel i7 3770K) with 2 HDDs (16 TB) attached to onboard SATA3 controller, 16 GB RAM and 1 SSD (120 GB). Nothing special. And it’s quite busy because it’s my home server with a VM and containers.

The question is how do you get a bad performance with ZFS?

I just tried to read a large file and it gave me uncached 280 MB/s from two mirrored HDDs.

The fourth run (obviously cached) gave me over 3.8 GB/s.

It’s a well-known problem in the upper management that they only understand Excel.

I’ve seen inventories, statistical calculations, databases, project plans, calendars, address books, password management and even presentation slides done in Excel.

But Germany has no space for nuclear waste. They haven’t been able to bury the last batch for over 30 years. And the one that they buried most recently began to leak radioactivity into ground water.

And… why give Russia more military target opportunities?
