Never used it since some 20 years ago as Postfix already existed. Is there any advantage over using Postfix? Also find it interesting to see SMTP server like Haraka being used here and there (though it doesn't do local deliveries). As

OSNews author seems to have something personal against Apple, it reads like a personal blog when it comes to Apple related news with completely biased writing and I stopped reading years ago.

You sound like, living in a car society is a nightmare because you can't dodge cars that run into you. Hopefully there's an ideal world for you.

Why not expect that something would throw at some point where app logics are taking place and wrap with try-catch at your lower layer and handle uncaught errors there? Adding all these boilerplate that not all people agree with would just m

Always loved the model in MacOS that developers charge a small one time fee, usually in the range of $5 - $20 to support them to build relatively good apps pushing the overall quality of the third party app ecosystem instead of either crapp

Exactly. No idea why RH is endorsing the project. There's no practical use. Listing bunch of systemd services isn't going to be any more helpful than CLI output listing everything.

I've stopped shopping for ARM boards when I realized not all docker images support ARM architecture making it hard to install apps that I might want to. Otoh, Odroid H3 is a quite capable x86 machine and these days parts are so cheap,

Maybe quality control? If it relied on upstream entirely and Debian breaks something, people would think Rpi is an unstable hardware.

There can't be a subscription based Windows. People refuse to pay (intentionally or financially) and they won't receive security updates on older OS and see how the world unfolds. It's already a mess that people are using so

There's a decent OS called MacOS that's somehow always free on major new releases...

That does not have the same catalog of games as Windows, that does not have the same catalog of useful third party apps as Mac, that does not have the ease of maintenance as Windows and Mac... I heard there will be the year of Linux desktop

Genuinely curious but why would people put 2 displays side by side so that your neck would always be bent to a side? That totally looks like a tiring solution. I never do that but put the main display (which is an external monitor of my lap

Yet I still don't think nothing beats the good old SequelPro's elegant interface. Somehow not really liking the fork.

Not sure how you can say they're similar. Simplicity and ease of use vary a lot between them.

DataGrip is heavy. It takes seconds to launch and while it must be quite feature complete, the interface is cluttered. Currently using TablePlus and while I have a few problems with it, it's snappy and mostly fine. Tried Beekeeper some

What are you talking about? Running Sentry isn't hard despite crazy number of containers as long as you do it their way and use their docker-compose.yml. The problem is running it on 4GB instance with 4GB swap is bare minimum which cos

How can the search engine not able to tell who the original is? Originals always exist earlier, not to mention SO.com domain rank is way higher than those spammed sites that existed for less years.

What's with the thousand separator being placed on every 2 digits except for the last 3 digits? How do you even do that, unless you manually regex it? If that's the case, already looks weird on technical decisions. There's ne

At work, I used it to build dev environment for several developers giving them isolated OS inside a single machine (host OS being the jump host for SSH and host OS Caddy reverse proxying web sites toward the guests), which was easy to do wi

Do yourself a favor and use zfs as your primary backup, even though it means you'll have to replace your filesystem, it's just that good. Faster than any other backup software (because it knows what's changed from the last sn

If you can't trust that, then I suppose you're checking every node_modules dir for any malicious codes but I guess you're just being allergic to pipe bash.
