I run my own mailserver in docker and it’s not so hard! There was some difficulty at the start with mail going to spam, but after a little while “warming up” the IP with usage, it works fine. It’s hardest to build an IP’s reputation in the beginning because if your mail goes to spam, it doesn’t typically lead to healthy conversations that can support it’s history.

My trick was to forward all my incoming gmail messages from the account I was replacing into the new server - that way I could receive and reply from the new mailserver if people sent mail to the old one. Once it built up a bit of a history it started working fine, and that took maybe a few conversations over a couple of days.

The thing I have noticed is that you very quickly get destroyed by incoming spam - a more advanced filter is definitely on the list.

Yeah, I do not miss rentals.

We fitted that reflective window film all around our place. It’s dead cheap and passively cools the place by blocking UV and some other light. The ones that stick from “static cling” should peel off cleanly if you’re worried about your landlord complaining? It made our place from uninhabitable to tolerable in an evening.

Also for anyone that’s looking, if you’re going for a portable air con, always go for one with two hoses! You can modify some to make them way cooler too.

I have them tagged as “absolute nutter” for this exact reason.

This honestly doesn’t sound like they’re projecting at all - they speak of their own experience. I think they’re upset because you’ve said that biological attributes would “disagree” with an honest insight into their life’s experience.

Their mother - the person who acted in a motherly role in their life. The person who raised them, cared for them, helped them grow - is not product of biological attributes.

Yeah it’s exactly that. And “Fork found in kitchen” is like saying “Is the pope catholic” or sarcastically “I’ll alert the media” about stuff that really isn’t surprising.

Do you fancy giving it a go for an uneducated potato such as myself? Never heard of the MIT license hate before.

Oh that’s totally fair! Honestly it’s been a really pleasant surprise? I thought I’d have to fight it but even the few Google apps I needed still worked without an issue. I’ve been gradually sunsetting them one by one and just removed the last one the other day.

I love Organic Maps for nav. The voice is a little clunky but everything is computed offline.

Did you want any help? Tech support is literally my job, lol. I’ve built an are stack + jellyfin, mailserver and home assistant before for what it’s worth.

I flashed e/os to main and I love it! Automatic blocking of trackers. Clear notices when apps access hardware. Falsified GPS to a plausible location at the flip of a switch. It’s still not perfect but it’s a big step and very easy to install.

I think Graphene is similar?
