Tried it, deployed open rendezvous server, but it was really slow (and back then didn't support ivp6). I'm using dwservice now, but still on a lookout for a self hosted solution.

I did this prank, only it was more elaborate. We were in the lab, playing around with Windows NT (so all machines were set up with the same Administrator password), and one thing you could do, is to get a remote telnet, and `net send` to yo

Used to use this quite a lot because my cell plan provider didn't firewall DNS queries when roaming (they needed it to redirect you to the captive portal, I guess). But now it's fully blocked, so I haven't been using it too m

"Link to issue for context" Just no... Why would you decouple the change from its context? Just add all the relevant information to the commit message itself, so it's preserved. I follow my friend's approach which works

I've been running my mail server for about 15 years, give or take. First with qmail/dovecot/squirrelmail and now with postfix/dovecot/roundcube. Mostly smooth sailing.

I've signed up for SNDS, but there's no mitigation to be done from there, it's purely informative. And that form looks like one I've filled out to no avail. My email server is very small, so it's not a big deal... B

Outlook properties seemingly use uceprotect lists. Outlook support even has a page for getting off their block list, but I could never get a reply. And my hosting provider basically said "we're warning against using our servers fo

When on MacOS I really enjoy full screen apps with multi-finger virtual desktop switch. My workflow usually limited to one full screen browser and one full screen terminal window (with tmux inside).
