I’ve been hosting my own email servers for 20 years without issue. But email systems were a huge part of my IT career so it was easy.

It works great if you have static IPs and know what you’re doing in terms of following best practices. If you’re missing those two things you’re going to have a bad time.

If you have the statics and want to learn, I’d recommend purchasing a test domain and getting the kinks worked out before you move a domain you care about to your own system.

Is Microsoft posting AI slop memes now? What is this garbage?

I’m just here for the free donuts.

M’distro!

I took the networking TCP/IP fundamentals class for my first MCSE in 99, and the instructor wouldn’t shut up about how IPv4 would be replaced within 5 years.

I need to get a new VPN setup. Been using OpenVPN through OPNsense for years but I’m fed up with the abysmal performance of the OpenVPN client on iOS. Open to suggestions but it has to be fully self hosted.

He means nobody here fucking cares what the LLM made for you, and it’s definitely not worth sharing.

You’re getting downvoted by the people who have the expertise you claim to want. So pay attention and reflect on what’s being said to you. Otherwise what was the point of posting at all?

I guess you are saying you only run Kodi? Yes it is Kodi with the jellyfin plugin talking to a jellyfin server that is the source of the few woes I have with it. Honestly it works really well, but when something is wrong I would say due to the UI it’s beyond most non-technical people to sort it out easily.

I mean, it’s free and it does work, so I won’t complain, but I wouldn’t push this on any but my most technical friends.

I use Kodi with the jellyfin plugin, but I can’t recommend that for ‘normies’ because the interface is not simple, and I still have glitches with it.

I’m also looking for a solution like yours, but wanted you to have that feedback.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll check it out. Most of my AHK scripts are simple, not really macros, just adding toggles to keys or remapping stuff, like putting mouse buttons on a keyboard key, or remapping WASD to ESDF for games that don’t support key remapping. I messed around with some key remappers for Linux about 9 months ago but I couldn’t find anything that worked well in the game I was playing (Dyson Sphere Project). That’s almost certainly due to my ignorance. I really need to learn python.

Thanks, Debbie.

Can confirm, I’m just hitting my first year of using Tumbleweed as my main OS after giving up on Microsoft. It plays almost everything without issue. The very few things I boot into Windows for are games that I want to use Autohotkey with, old games that don’t work well with Proton, or VR.

When you switch and realize how much better it is than Windows, and you can rest easy knowing your own OS isn’t spying on you or stealing your data, it tends to make you a little bit of an evangelist.

Installing the popular Linux distros today is easier than Windows XP was, and it’s arguably easier than Windows 11. It definitely asks you less questions and doesn’t require you to change 30 different settings from the defaults.

Linux has come a long way from my first install of CentOS on a server in the mid 00’s. You had to be pretty dedicated to run linux successfully back then, but these days it’s cake.

Acting on your principles isn’t always easy.
