A lot of FOSS solutions have funny names, mascots, etc. I’m surprised if IT/tech workers aren’t used to it. Just politely tell them, yes, it has slightly silly branding, but look past it and it’s software that does what you want.


I’m a gay woman and I’m cool with it. More women the better.
Yes, it can be a bit involved. I’d say I can spin up a mail server in 1–2 days though provided the OS is already installed and I have a domain name and port 25 isn’t blocked (that’s the main one that tends to be blocked). It may take longer for people who aren’t familiar with mail servers but it’s not some huge operation.
You can just try spinning up a mail server for fun. If it goes badly then just don’t move over your dentist appointments to it. It’s only critical infra if you use it for critical things, which you probably shouldn’t till it’s stable.
I self-host my own email, have done so for years. I’ve not gotten pwned. Use an SSH key and a firewall, only expose the ports that should be public, have reasonable access controls, etc, just practise general cybersecurity—it applies to servers too.
I know everyone complains about hosting email. But I’ve not run into major problems. My emails get through spam filters and I have good uptime. It’s also a fun learning experience.


They’re not vegan…


Communism.
No servant under you and no boss overhead.
Until it is entirely unusable. My last phone I had for years after it stopped being supported, it would hardly charge, the screen was totally shattered, and I was still using it up until it bricked itself. I’ll probably see if I can convert my current GOS phone into a Linux phone after GOS stops supporting it, for security reasons to use a supported OS, but I want to minimise my contribution to e-waste.


The first time I encountered a baking recipe with ounces, I looked up ounces as I didn’t know what they were. Imperial units aren’t taught in a lot of countries. The Wikipedia article said ounces could be mass or volume, and also had different values in different countries. So I was just very confused as to what the author meant.
Everybody knows what a ml is, what a gram is, etc. They have the same value everywhere. There’s no ambiguity. What is “customary” for you is a confusing system imposed on the rest of the world who want to understand what you mean.


The main reason it annoys me is because a lot of English-language recipes online are written by USAmericans and therefore use imperial units that I have to convert. I’ve also noticed that they seem to measure everything in cups even for things where it makes no sense to use volume (flour is a common one—isn’t baking supposed to be precise? Flours can have different densities, air pockets, etc). I find ounces really confusing because they can be volume or mass.
Also, imperial is not standardised, so different countries have different amounts for a cup, an ounce, a pint, etc. I guess I can check the recipe author’s country and then convert to metric. But I just find it confusing. Can’t we just all use the same units that are nice and easy to use together since they’re powers of 10?


My spam filter on my email server. Autocorrect on Heliboard. I think that’s it. Luckily I picked up English at a young age so I don’t need it for translation.
Also for people having a kneejerk reaction, “AI” and “ML” as terms long predate the current slopwave. The ML I am talking about in the previous paragraph is not genAI, it is the kind of ML to classify things (emails into spam/ham, words into correct/incorrect), that you can feed training data to improve its accuracy rate.


El Pueblo Unido Jamas Sera Vencido


Non-native but spent a lot of my life living in English-speaking contexts. I know how to pronounce it, but my tongue seems to like tripping up over “hospital”.


0 days, who cares. Call yourself from a place if you want to.


Yes, I’m not an IT professional and don’t have education in anything related to computers. Has always been a hobby for me. I don’t want to do my hobbies for work because I fear it would take the fun out.


Ah ok, you mean a margherita pizza? I just didn’t know what the term referred to. I’ve not heard it called that before.


What is cheese pizza? As opposed to… pizza with no cheese? Don’t pizzas usually have cheese?


That stew does sound rather plain. I’d add stuff like leeks and also just more vegetables of your choosing. A mirepoix, spinach, kale, peas, whatever vegetables you like. I’d also add some stock cubes. I don’t think ground meat makes very good stock, so it would benefit from stock cubes/powder. It’s just cheaper to bulk things out with vegetables and carbs.
As for making you feel full for longer, generally fat makes you feel full for longer, so you could try getting ground meat with higher % fat (sticking to your ingredients) or just adding maybe some olive oil or butter to the stew. It is extra calories which I guess might make you gain weight, but calories are energy and excess energy becomes fat (stored energy), so your two stated goals of not gaining weight and having enough energy are at odds—not irreconcilable, but it’d be a balancing act.


Do you mean to don’t write some message to root@xolat.games? 🤔
You can, but most email servers redirect mail to root@xolat.games to some other user eg xolatgames@xolat.games. The root user usually does not have their own inbox.
I’m not sure why hello is trying to write to /home/root then, that’s your problem. Do you have any Postfix aliases set up? Check /etc/postfix/aliases (there’s a chance it’s in a different location; the output of postconf alias_maps will tell you where it is).
But what’s the configs do you need? 🤔 Dovecot has about 20 separated configuration files! Do I will need to put each of them?
Just post the output of doveconf -n. Redact any sensitive info.
Shortbread. Very simple ingredients (flour, butter, sugar), and uses lots of butter. Hard to screw up and tasty even if you keep it very simple.
Or just appreciate not having to buy any butter for a while. If it’s in the freezer, it’ll keep.
