Use mox on your own Raspberry Pi at home! Get your ISP to set up a PTR record for your static IP and enjoy email free of fear of losing it: https://github.com/mjl-/mox

So refreshing to see someone else who revels in the nostalgia of 3.5!

Absolutely spot on. We'd all get very peeved if software we wrote (for sale) was being used without pay because the user felt it "wasn't worth paying for".

I run goaccess on a cron job and have paired it with a MaxMind GeoIP database so that you can see where people are coming from etc. https://goaccess.io/

Out of curiosity, where is this fork? Sounds very interesting.

Just run your own mail server on a Pi at home and get your ISP to set up a PTR record for you, assuming you are on a static IP. Mox is good and outputs all of the instructions for DNS etc.: https://github.com/mjl-/mox

They did help the entire world get work done for 30+ years so they can't have been too bad.

Is there a standalone installer for this so you can run items not on Steam? I have many old Windows games you see, with DVDs.

I think XP's File Explorer was the best. Keyboard shortcuts that actually do things useful: keypad * will expand all directories under the current one if you select the item in the tree on the left. A great way to make your hard-disk u

It's a shame because I remember Konqueror as a file manager being really great under KDE 3.5 (oh the nostalgia) and Dolphin seemed useless by comparison.

Yes I was shocked that they thought a 9.1 second launch time was good?! How long did MSN Messenger take to launch back on a Pentium 1?

This is an excellent summary of the problem. The sad thing is that most users consider this perfectly normal and acceptable, and even users who have used computers for 30+ years seem to think these sluggish, crap "apps" are perfec

This appears to be the computing model of the past 20 years, from what I can tell? There have been no real advancements since the desktop model of the late 1990s. We might have more animations and applications running in virtual machines fo

The computer was always designed to be a computational machine. It didn't just appear and then someone thought "what could I actually use this for?" Also the Internet came out of DARPA which was a method of sharing data betwe

I think people get busy as they get older. Learning gets harder too, so hearing a new song either involves learning a new structure (more difficult) or is using the same constructs as they already know (boring). Also, most people are nostal

But in real life there are not transcripts of all daily conversations, and we survive fine without that. The preservation of all online conversations isn't necessary. Just look at some old archived USENET posts to discover how irreleva

VoWiFi for LTE is what carriers (in the UK at least) try to encourage if you have poor signal at home. It still relies on your SIM being in the phone and actually makes a L2TP or SIP connection through to the carrier's server. I know b

Try telling that to the users of Slack and other modern "desktop" applications that are simply web browsers with poorly-implemented UI elements attempting to mimic native UI elements (like menus). I wish your idea took off, but th

Finally, the last bit of this sorry tale. Part III: The single "IT" guy didn't put UPS on anything so when the power failed all the servers just carried on running until they died. Bye bye Dell servers. The computers were loc

Replying to myself to continue this ridiculous story: Part II: Any check-ins (apart from the senior 2 developers) went via a code review from one sarcastic guy. He would pick up on use of std algorithms and was in general very very picky. A

I think we need not worry. Under "Musician Experience Level" with "professional guitar player", it still sounds like a cat being strangled.

What thickness pick do you use? I found thin picks very difficult to hold and moved to a .96mm Dunlop Delrin (the pink ones) standard and I found them easier to hold. There is more resistance from the strings but at least you can alternate

I avoided all this smart speaker stuff by going for a Marshall Acton II in the kitchen (music via Bluetooth). My wife uses Amazon or Apple music and I use Subtracks on Android to play to it. I run a Pi4 running a Navidrome instance after sp

Word? Excel? I have used them since the mid 1990s and can't think of when they've been as poor as Google's offerings.

I just use Everything by voidtools and assign a taskbar icon to it so it can be launched windows + 3. Other applications I often use are in the taskbar so windows + <number> (0-9) work for opening them. Beats using the Start Menu.

Very interesting reply, thanks. I am not sure how much C++ some of the book writers actually write - some of their advice and patterns don't seem usable in the real world. I should say that the majority of very vocal "haters"

I would go further and say that Google's end software is pretty poor. Their Drive syncing software doesn't give indication on current progress and in Google Drive itself try to get the size of a directory and its contents - it&#x2
