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 between OS versio

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 with a small VPS

If my memory serves the project started around the time of a popular blog post called NSA-Proof Your E-mail[1]. It may have been Josh's inspiration for the project, I'm not sure. In any event, the techniques described are pretty s

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 that isn&#x

Why not use both? You can support the content creator with a higher per-view rate and still block ads in other places.

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 also lik

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 excepti

Back when I ran slackware, it was pretty easy. You installed packages from the disk sets and the packages had the files they needed. It kept track of which packages wrote out which file in some text file so on removing a package it would kn

I like the idea of something like this that encourages you to start writing. It can be hard to get yourself to start creating. Having an easy outlet like this is a cool idea.

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 employment tax.

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 as well if you&#x2

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 stopped usin

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 come out la

Syncthing is awesome for being a dropbox-like service for computers. I've setup a syncthing share as a folder inside of nextcloud which is enabled as "External Storage." This gives me the best of both worlds. Sharing between

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 have folders, it ge

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 cloud storage: it makes

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 desktop ic

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 IP stuff on ham radio,

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, possibly, a heterodyn

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 issue is "lo

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 mIRC applica

I often feel like sentiment such as this assumes that these kinds of notices, movie ratings, "clean" / radio versions of media, etc are solely meant for teenagers. Maybe that's how they relate to it - as some kind of re
