Doubletwist

I use proxmox mail gateway (PMG) for my homelab, configured to relay through my Gmail domain using smtp auth.

I’ve also used PMG at the enterprise level. Never had an issue with it.

It’s postfix underneath.

Growing up in west Texas, I talked to one uber-Baptist who for some unfathomable reason believed that the Catholics “worship Mary”, therefore they don’t follow the “there is only one God” rule and therefore aren’t Christian.

Ren - The Tale of Jenny and Screech

Y’all must be doing something wrong because HW raid has been hot garbage for at least 20years. I’ve been using software raid (mdadm, ZFS) since before 2000 and have never had a problem that could be attributed to the software raid itself, while I’ve had all kinds of horrible things go wrong with HW raid. And that holds true not just at home but professionally with enterprise level systems as a SysAdmin.

With the exception of the (now rare) bare metal windows server, or the most basic boot drive mirroring for VMware (with important datastores on NAS/SAN which are using software raid underneath, with at most some limited HW assisted accelerators) , hardly anyone has trusted hardware raid for decades.

Really only to get notifications of weather stuff from my local NWS office.

I’m pretty sure you can make them set the modem/router to bridge mode and run your own router. If it’s cable, you can also buy your own non-router cable modem, then use whatever router you like behind it.

FMLA guarantees nothing about getting paid.

That depends on your company having some kind of short/long-term disability insurance. Even that sometimes requires that you opt into it and pay a premium, though many companies do include it with them paying the premium.

Is there some rule I wasn’t aware of that you must own a home in order to give out candy on Halloween?

At 18, you presumably live SOMEWHERE. Nothing stopping you from giving out candy at that residence.

Note: this is not an endorsement that you shouldn’t be allowed to trick or treat at 18. Simply pointing out that your specific argument is bullshit.

I guess typing “less than 1” is too much for you.

When I lived in Silicon Valley in the late 90s, I used to commute on I-280 to Menlo Park. It was an absolute joy of a drive.

There’s a reason it’s often called “The World’s Most Beautiful Freeway”.

Actually the average would be LESS than 1 of each.

Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Sure, there are plenty of musicians who had a bigger impact on music as a whole, but NOBODY I’ve ever seen was more in tune with the universe than Stevie when he was playing.

As far as I can tell, he didn’t actually play the guitar. He just acted as a conduit to channel music directly from the universe through a guitar. I don’t think he ever once had to pause and consider what to play next when he was improvising, it just flowed out of him non-stop.

He had already started getting even better, having finally gotten sober, and it kills my soul every time I think about what else he could’ve given us had he not gotten on that helicopter.

Play the game in whatever way is most enjoyable to you.

This was a great game! And it actually looked damned good for the time.

This right here. All the UIs these days are so flat! It drives me nuts. I can’t tell where the background ends and a button begins. I’m streaming services in my Shield and Roku, I can’t tell which movie or episode is actually selected. It’s fucking infuriating.

I’ve been using option 1 for many many years. It lets me keep control of the encryption, and it’s accessible just about anywhere.

UPSes aren’t meant to keep things running for long periods of time.

If you’re trying to keep things on for hours, you need a generator. Then the UPS just needs to keep things running until the generator comes online.

I suspect it’ll be a lot cheaper to get a small generator than it would be to buy enough UPS and batteries to run things for multiple hours.

fondled in a theatre full of children.

Let’s not stoop to their (the right/GOP) level with the misinformation. While there may have been children present in the theater, most of the people there were adults.

There’s plenty enough wrong with what they were doing without trying to demonize them with additional lies.

A ‘wagyu’ New York Strip for $120.

It was okay but really not worth it. I’ve made better steaks on my grill at home with $10 worth of Select Grade NY Strip.

I wouldn’t go further back than the birth of my daughter, because there’s no way I’d take the chance to not have her in my life, no matter what I might wish to change from before that. That said, I’d like to change a few things since, so I’d probably do that.
