I use postfix and the recipient_access file to control email to my domains which use little email, so the domains are able to process standard email: admin@example.com OK postmaster@example.com OK abuse@example.com OK webmaster@example.com

My domain is very low traffic but, I just looked through my admin email account and opendmarc has rejected 18 attempts by spammers just this past week. More were rejected by my domain's DMARC policy.

Same, also bought an LG TV to replace our aging 2 decade old TV. Nothing says you have to run the TV's setup. Use an external device for streaming, preferably running Linux and you have full control and no Ads or telemetry.

We have a smart TV on the way. We do not plan to run the setup, it won't have Internet access. We plan to do what we've done for over a decade now, connect our Kubuntu laptop in the entertainment center to it and select it as the

That's what my wife and I sleep for, 7 hours. 8 and we wake up with a headache.

Retired software developer and my wife suggested the same and it worked. As a veteran I also believe it mostly fixed my sleep apnea episodes that I never sought formal diagnosis for before. We also do 5 mg melatonin now which helps. The mag

If AI is generating better code than you can, that does say a lot. I've tried various AI's available and outside of being a better Google or a fast reference for Stack Overflow; LLM's do not generate better code nor better ru

I'm the opposite, I feel more depressed when the government controls our lives instead of hard working people who've proven themselves in the marketplace.

Agreed. We have two Costco's within 6 minutes driving distance, my wife visits them once a week, like Walmart and Whole Foods. We also shop regularly on Amazon. We don't buy weeks of food at a time.

I tend to think of veterans and their sacrifices manning those battleships, fighter jets and battlefields so that companies like Costco can exist.

We are probably fortunate, we live 5 minutes from one Costco, 6 minutes from a second one and 17 minutes from a third. My wife visits Costco every week, Walmart every week often on different days, etc. We buy from Amazon online frequently.

We keep our TV dumb, have a laptop behind it running Kubuntu Linux. Stream in everything in Chrome. Use an Air Mouse and wireless keyboard sometimes. Works great.

My selfhosted email has been dual stack for close to a year and my eyeball estimate of the logs is around 10% of the traffic is IPv6.

Agreed. I jumped on the .NET bandwagon in 2000 and was on it for several years but ended up going back to Java by 2005.
