  • Is that Outlook or Outlook (New)?

  • Tbh I haven't had too many problems with Postfix – however it is certainly a footgun and it would be nice to have fewer parts to connect together, and better defaults. I might try it out, it looks interesting.

  • From its web page it sounds like it is both a MTA and MDA, has a built-in spam filter, plus has calendar, contacts and file storage. Do you know how it compares to my current setup of Postfix, Dovecot, and rspamd (and Nextcloud for the others)?

  • A race

    Jump
    • Dwarf Fortress
    • Rimworld
    • Baldur’s Gate 3
    • The Witcher 3
    • The Binding of Isaac
  • I love it!

  • I don't know Mark, I might not, but at least I have good friends. Can you say the same for yourself?

  • Kdenlive is excellent. Probably top of the line in terms of features when it comes to FOSS and just works unlike the probably-better-in-theory freeware alternative on Linux, DaVinci Resolve.

    I recently tried iMovie on the Mac to see how it is, just wanted to cut a clip out of a YouTube video I downloaded, and while its interface is much more well integrated, it completely froze during import of the video (I think it tried to transcode it in the background and ended up swapping hard because believe it or not Apple, there actually are workloads you need a lot of RAM for). Kdenlive didn't struggle at all on the same machine.

  • It sounds like you need a split DNS setup. systemd-resolved can do this for example. As soon as you need any sort of slightly more complex DNS setup using just resolv.conf isn't going to cut it.

  • Just this morning, the AFD was categorized as a right-wing extremist organization by our Office for Constitutional Protection

    Oh, awesome. Fucking finally!!!

  • Oh, so that's what that's for. I've seen it before but never got the reason for it, but combined with this it makes sense. The name is very unfortunate though.

    Now, the question is, will the cached RDP password update when you log in with the PIN :)

  • If only this could lead to scaling down the scope of web technologies so it’s sustainable to develop a browser without that 80% funding.

    Wouldn’t be the first time we dropped an ultra complex technology for something much more simple, e.g. DCOM/CORBA for JSON-based RPC.

  • Their stated reasoning here sounds bullshit and I’m sure the actual reason is a technical one, where they’re trying to retrofit the MS accounts login system to a protocol that wasn’t designed for it and for some reason are refusing to extend the RDP protocol to support the new auth mechanism. SMB network shares probably have the same issue I’d assume.

    I’m sure AD domains don’t have this problem since it uses Kerberos, otherwise this would have been a problem already decades ago.

    Using the password for a public account for local login is a disaster anyway, they should have done it like Apple and kept the local login password separate from the MS account login. I have never used a MS account for local login but it sounds to me like it just leads to people using insecure passwords for publicly reachable accounts because they don’t want to type a long password every time logging into their computer.

  • Ah okay, so you know some behind the scenes info or at least more than just this. My bad, but tbh you should have lead with that because initially I thought you completely misread what the text was saying because I pretty clearly read the queer mentions as “this is not just transphobic attacks by bigots” (see my other comment). Sorry!

  • There isn’t really, you can probably use sendmail as well. Postfix is just the MTA I’m used to and know can do all of this.

    From what I’ve heard about sendmail’s config file, I personally wouldn’t want to use it specifically though…

  • Yeah, this should work (assuming by email client you mean MTA).

    Alternatively, you can set up Postfix to deliver mail over SSH to another MTA by defining a new service in master.cf that calls sendmail on the destination server. This postfix could run in a container as well or on the host, whatever is reachable.

    Old NixOS configuration for that here, see the default_transport and masterConfig parts: https://git.dblsaiko.net/systems/tree/modules/sys2x/mail/relay.nix?h=ssh-mail

    Alternatively, if you don't have another mail server somewhere that you want to relay to, the simplest option is probably to just have Postfix deliver into a local mailbox and access that over IMAP (the imaps port should not be blocked, right? You can use a non-standard port though). Turn off non-local delivery though.
