  • I've try to set up my E-Mail server 📬. Dovecot + Postfix. I can sends, but I can't receives.

  • Do you mean to don’t write some message to root@xolat.games? 🤔

    You can, but most email servers redirect mail to root@xolat.games to some other user eg xolatgames@xolat.games. The root user usually does not have their own inbox.

    I'm not sure why hello is trying to write to /home/root then, that's your problem. Do you have any Postfix aliases set up? Check /etc/postfix/aliases (there's a chance it's in a different location; the output of postconf alias_maps will tell you where it is).

    But what’s the configs do you need? 🤔 Dovecot has about 20 separated configuration files! Do I will need to put each of them?

    Just post the output of doveconf -n. Redact any sensitive info.

  • Just reading the first logs you pasted, it tells you the answer there. You can't receive emails because you're trying to receive emails as root, and writing emails to the home directory. Dovecot doesn't run as root so it can't write to root's home directory.

    You would ordinarily not receive mail as root. Most people set up root to redirect to your actual user. Look into Postfix aliases.

    Try emailing a non-root user. It should write to the inbox. I mean, without your Dovecot configs, I can't tell if there's anything else wrong with them, but from the errors it seems Dovecot would work if not for the permissions errors.

  • The GNU Compiler Collection will reject copyright-significant contributions derived from LLM output, with limited exceptions for trivial changes and test cases.

    Jump

  • Well, depends on what the line is, right? Like, you'd have a hard time copyrighting

     c
        
int i = 0;

    because millions of people write that line of code.

    But if it's something unique and, say, identifiably Microsoft's code, then yes, you probably would not have legal grounds to stand on.

    In the context of the OP, of course, if you're using an LLM just to write int i = 0; then you might be stupid. But possibly if you're using LLMs to do tedious tasks like writing unit tests then you might be able to argue that they're generic enough to not infringe copyright even if the legal situation is resolved in favour of LLM output belonging to the IP holders of the training data. It's just a legal grey area, which is presumably why so many projects are concerned about merging LLM output.

  • YSK: There's a new initiative for hard-forking firefox and creating a "base browser"

    Jump

  • The majority of end users run Windows. Does that make Windows the reference desktop OS?

    The most charitable interpretation of your assertion I can think of is that you just mean that Chromium-based browsers have the majority of the market share. That's not the same thing as a reference implementation at all.

  • Where did SJL say she intended to maintain a hard fork?? She just said she went through to see how many LoC she could remove that were only there to power AI features. That reads a lot like someone doing this out of curiosity on a free afternoon. Am I missing some context for the mastodon thread?

  • Why does every VPN need to rewrite their own client?

    Jump

  • Some of these clients have extra features (eg obfuscation to get around VPN bans) but yeah, I wouldn't use any VPN provider that didn't at least provide wireguard configs I can use without their own custom client.

  • What's your favourite thing to self host and why?

    Jump

  • Tbh was quite painless for me! Had a few hiccups but it was educational to troubleshoot them, and once it's up and running, I haven't had to touch it for the most part. Had to update my Dovecot configs when they changed the config syntax but that's all I can think of. And will probably see about switching from spamassassin to rspamd because I swear spamassassin has so many false positives no matter how many false positives I feed to it to train it. But it's really not so bad, and I would recommend it as a decent learning opportunity for folks who like tinkering with computers.

  • Email's probably the most satisfying. I learnt a lot in setting up my own email server, and it's nice being in complete control (well, of my end of things at least, ofc not of the other person's end) of such an essential service.

  • Linux recommendations for a beginner on a Mac?

    Jump

  • Linux distribution doesn't have a huge bearing on UI, except that most distros come with a particular DE (desktop environment) pre-installed. However, you can install any DE of your choice after installing the OS, and switch between DEs at ease without reinstalling the OS.

    GNOME's defaults are quite visually similar to macOS in terms of layout. I'm sure KDE Plasma (the other big Linux DE) can be modded to look like macOS too, but by default it more resembles the Windows desktop. I'd say go for Linux Mint and then install GNOME (look up stuff like "linux mint how to install gnome"). Both Linux Mint and GNOME are widely used and "beginner-friendly", so if you run into any problems, it shouldn't be hard to find answers either by searching things up or posting on forums if you can't find any solutions already online.

  • Reliable messenger for family use?

    Jump

  • Matrix works well for me.

    It's not out yet, but I'd keep an eye on Flatline. It's by the people who make Molly (Signal client fork—it's pretty good, been using it for years). Flatline is a Molly-compatible server implementation, i.e. so that you can host your own Signal server. Because generally if someone asked for a "reliable messenger for family use" I'd recommend Signal as a polished and reliable option, though not self-hostable unfortunately.

  • 'Rust makes coding fun again': Why Linux is moving away from C, according to Greg Kroah-Hartman

    Jump

  • I mean, you can create a GPL fork of the Rust coreutils if you so please. Or you could do a rewrite in any programming language of your choice and license permissively.

    In any case, I profoundly cannot bring myself to care about the fact that you can legally create a proprietary fork of permissively licensed FOSS. I don't think it's right to impose any restrictions on what people can do with software/code, which of course conflicts with the fact that other people can take your code and restrict what other people can do with it. So choosing between copyleft and permissive licensing is a balancing act of that contradiction. I don't think it's wrong to end up on the side of permissive licensing.

    Jump

  • Do you seriously think that's how IP law works? If you weren't able to write GPL Rust code, Rust would not be free software. That would require the Rust project to issue software licences to programmers that stipulate that you must not create GPL-licensed software using Rust.

    Rust is free and open-source, like most programming languages. That means you are allowed to make whatever software you want with it, including GPL software. There's nothing stipulating that you can't...

  • How to unionize your tech workplace

    Jump

  • A lot of legal protections for workers aren't enforced, or are difficult to enforce due to standards of evidence and other factors. A union is a worker-controlled means of enforcement. Instead of appealing to power from above, workers can exert their own collective power from below. In other words, it's better than having rights on paper, because the government can't just sign a piece of paper to take them away from you or decide not to enforce the rights.
