Silly question, but have you tried sending an email to someone running spam-assassin and check the headers of the received mail to see if there's anything obvious flagging you? For example, on Linode make sure that your reverse DNS for

If you can't control your PTR on IPv6, in postfix I recommend using: "smtp_address_preference = ipv4", instead of fully disabling IPv6. This way you can still receive email from IPv6 servers. I run an smtp server from home wi

I 100% agree. I wasn't sure if you meant reliable as in security, uptime, etc. So reliable as in "stable UI/experience". I'm also a heavy mutt and irssi user. I think their UI stability is more an issue on how appli

Considering a lot of people use Gmail for email, I would be curious as to why you consider web clients to be unreliable. (I don't use Gmail, but a ton of tech people do. Something like Mattermost is rather harmless, since less critical

> Do all heavy IRC users have a bouncer As a heavy user of IRC, I would say yes. At least, I wouldn't be able to use it without irssi running inside tmux on some server, and everyone I know does the same. For a large Free Software p

Ads already affect the experience significantly, this would do so even more. (not that I use Facebook, but Tumblr for example, has extremely annoying repetitive offensive ads)

Projects release new versions of software not just for new features, but (one would hope) constant improvements to the underlying architecture. Firefox in particular has been evolving quickly, with many of under-the-hood improvements that m

Interac (debit cards) charge 5 to 10¢ per transaction and that's about it (+ presumably a fixed monthly fee). Everyone has an Interac card (if they have a bank account). One problem with Interac, however, is that most banks have limits

Maybe some companies, but there are a lot of different taxi companies in Montreal, many of which are worked-owned coops or an umbrella of freelancers. There are also companies going after Uber's model but with strong ethics, such as Te

Not to mention that for tourists visiting Montreal, the current situation is rather pathetic (basically take a taxi that will get stuck in traffic, or try to figure out where to buy a bus ticket).

Yep, most of the airports compared have a much higher rate of transfers than Montreal. People rarely transfer in Montreal. Toronto is a much bigger hub. This is the second click-bait titled article from this author on the topic. It seems mo

As I said, I'm a huge fan of tmux. I would be concerned if they broke tmux, but it does not seem to be the case. I've seen people run "nohup [program]" and logout, not even run it in a tmux. If systemd killed their progr

by mgbmtl 10y ago
Speaking of technical debt, I'm not sure if "nohup as a process management scheme" is a good one. Similar to "screen/tmux as a daemon manager". (I'm not saying tmux is bad, I use it all the time. I just do

There's always a balance to strive for, but we live in such an imbalanced culture (homogeneous, unrepresentative).. sometimes we don't realize some issues until we have kids and see what they go through [1]. It's easy to dism

The article (and the comments here) encouraged me install SELinux on one of my (Debian) VMs to see how it goes, and I'm now wondering why I didn't try it earlier.

The same could be said about Wikipedia. If we all chip in (code, governance and money), we can make it happen. I am part of two coops and one LLC that back FOSS projects. I even make a living out of it. There may be data issues (Google can

I'm sure lots of people would appreciate not having to work 3 jobs up to 60h/week. Scaling back to max 30-35 hours like in more progressive countries sounds interesting. c.f. Michael Moore's "where to invade next" (

It can take some effort to feel comfortable giving the keys of a project to someone else. In one project that I had abandoned, I encouraged others to fork and rename the project. They can advertise it as a fork of the original project to at

All of my published work clearly states that commercial support is available (and when other companies actively contribute, I list them too). Then again, most of my projects are work-related, not hobbies, so I don't mind developing a f

Does it show as a line item on the monthly invoice, or in the fine print of the contract? Here in QC/Canada it's basically "90$/month for the 2 year upgrade" or "65$/month for BYOD".

They're also discussing how to commercialize it (and tax it), which is an important aspect of legalization. It's likely that many provinces will choose to control sales through state-controlled companies.

For what it's worth, I have a Dell XPS 15 bought in January 2016, with i7-6700HQ Skylake CPU, and I think it has an NVMe drive (at least the drive ID says so). It's the basic model without a touch screen. I run Debian-testing (aka

It is far from being a level playing field. The message varies greatly depending on the sender, receiver and context, right? I think it's quite OK to call out your fellow stereotype when they're being dicks. And while we're a
