SnappyMail seem to be a fork of Rainloop and both Rainloop and Snappymail appear to allow multiple providers - https://snappymail.eu/
Cypht seems to be a similar solution where you selfhost a webserver that acts as a web client to external email providers - https://www.cypht.org/documentation/
I find nothing about push notifications for either of those solutions though, and I'm not sure about how much the webclients cache.

Ottimo lavoro di selfhosting! (translated from English, I dont' speak italian)

Ah yeah, this was the line I read a bit too fast:

Any modern Linux distribution should basically be in good shape for the AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors. The one recent caveat is needing Linux 6.12+ for the AMD Zen 5 CPU power reporting if that is important to you otherwise it's an easy one-liner patch to backport.

Compatibility for desktop pcs is a whole lot better nowadays. Main thing to check is the motherboard; Bluetooth, WiFi and BIOS updates without windows can be pain areas but even that is getting rarer. Laptops require some more reasearch.
If you're going cutting edge (AMD Ryzen 9800X3D) then you'll need kernel 6.12 or higher.
Here's a Linux review of the 9800X3D - https://www.phoronix.com/review/amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d-linux

I second this. OEM machines usually come with weird caveats where they saved money on the PSU or other parts that isn't used in their marketing of the machine.

In my country many online computer stores offer to prebuild your custom pc, offering warranty on the whole build.
Great if you don't have the time to put it together or if you want the warranty offered.

Now that we're adding more dystopian books to the thread I'd like to shout out to Kallocain (1940) by Karin Boye. It's more of a totalitarian state similar to 1984 but has an aspect of truth drugs, a hot topic back then, and thought criminalization.

Some developers make gog users second rate citizens, some don't publish on gog at all. I wouldn't call it a sinking ship though, later years they've had more big name games such as Baldur's Gate 3 than before.

Also, if gog shuts down tomorrow I can still install all my games from the installers on my network share, something I can't say about steam.

I am very happy about Proton/SteamOS and how they assist in making games playable on Linux. I hope the SteamOS devices become popular enough that developers stop trying to shut Linux out.

I'm not looking forward to what will happen with Steam when Gabe is no longer around though.
Having one big marketplace/launcher might be comfy right now but that can turn into a nightmare quickly when there's a new owner in town.

Personally I'm trying to buy any game I can on gog.com instead of Steam. Both to get my own offline installers and to ensure not all my eggs (games) are in one basket. I launch more games from Lutris then Steam today.

ME är en akronym för myalgisk encefalo­myelit, på engelska Myalgic Encephalo­myelitis.
Myalgi betyder muskel­smärta, encefalit inflamma­tion i hjärnan och myelit inflamma­tion i rygg­märgen.
CFS är en akronym för Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, på svenska översatt till kroniskt trött­hets­syndrom.
Den vanligaste beteck­ningen för sjukdomen i den inter­natio­nella, veten­skap­liga littera­turen är kombinations­termen ME/CFS eller motsvarande kombina­tion med de full­ständiga namnen utskrivna, Myalgic Encephalo­myelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

I Sverige används beteck­ningen ME/CFS bland annat av Statens beredning för medicinsk och social utvärdering (SBU),[8] Socialstyrelsen[15] och 1177,[16] men även myalgisk encefalo­myelit och kroniskt trött­hets­syndrom är vanligt före­kommande.

Just a reminder, if you're in the EU then waiting 'til June might be worthwhile:

Gonna be interesting to see which models disappear from EU altogether and which models get the better repairability and software updates next summer:
Ecodesign requirements will apply to mobile phones and tablets put on the EU market from 20 June 2025 onwards, including:

  1. resistance to accidental drops or scratches and protection from dust and water
  2. sufficiently durable batteries which can withstand at least 800 charge and discharge cycles while retaining at least 80% of their initial capacity
  3. rules on disassembly and repair, including obligations for producers to make critical spare parts available within 5-10 working days, and for 7 years after the end of sales of the product model on the EU market
  4. availability of operating system upgrades for longer periods (at least 5 years from the date of the end of placement on the market of the last unit of a product model)
  5. non-discriminatory access for professional repairers to any software or firmware needed for the replacement
 

I often only use the left earpiece when listening to music and that can make stereo-mixed songs sound really weird. Instead of remixing my library to send all audio on both L and R it's easier if I can ask my player to do that for me.
On the desktop it's as easy as going to Audio settings and choose "Stereo Audio Output Mode" to "Mono" but I find nothing like it in the Android app.
I imagine I'm not alone.
How have you solved it?

Solution:

@[email protected]
On your Android settings (check the Hearing Accessibility menu) there is systemwide mono output availability on some devices.

 

Så utredningen har kommit fram till att vi ska få låna mer och amortera mindre. För att hjälpa nya köpare att komma in på marknaden.

Men kommer det inte bara leda till att priserna stiger och att den som har 300 000 SEK i kontantinsats nu budar upp priset till 3 000 000 SEK istället för 2 000 000 SEK och amorterar 27 000 SEK (1% av 2,7M SEK) per år istället för 34 000 SEK (2% av 1,7M SEK) per år och blir än mer räntekänslig eftersom lånet blivit såpass mycket större?

Sist jag kollade på bolån begränsade banken till 4,5 gånger årsinkomsten, så ett skuldkvottak på 5,5 gånger årsinkomsten kommer i realiteten inte ändra mycket. Kanske att bankerna låter en låna mer eftersom de har ett explicit statligt godkännande på att ta större risker.

Och den som drömde om en 1:a eller 2:a ser sig fortsatt utkonkurrerad av de med större besparingar/rikare föräldrar.
Den enda jag ser hjälpas av ändringarna är de som redan äger och som ser sin bostad stiga i värde (men inte lånet) men det har ju bara betydelse om man ska sälja / låna mer för att renovera.
Kan också kortsiktigt hjälpa plånboken genom minskad amortering.

Once upon a time you could get a small android device with good specs.
https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_xz1_compact-8610.php

It's still my favourite phone, even though it's been retired and is only used as an MP3 player with AUX in the garage nowadays.
I realize that for most people the phone is now a device to consume media through and that the larger screens are helpful there, but having a smart phone that is fully usable with one hand is still something I miss. Often.

Considering that modern androids have about 85% to 90% of their size as display size then a phone with the size of the xz1 compact should get a screen size of ~5 inches instead of the old 4.6 inches.

With the SoC advancements I don't even feel that the phone would require a flagship SoC to interest me. Put a Snapdragon 6, as much battery as you can fit and an AUX input in it and I'm game.

What would make you guys interested in a smaller phone today?

Small tips and tricks (self.stardewvalley)
 

I recently learned that crows only eats your crops if you have 16 or more tiles planted. That means you can plant 15 crops early without worrying about the crows at all.

What are other small tips and tricks you guys know?

 

I'm looking into setting up some monitoring combined with simple automation for my selfhosting. Currently I was thinking about using Zabbix.
I want to:
Track bandwidth usage on a router/fw and on a managed switch and track cpu/ram/disk usage on my vms.
Simple monitoring (up/down/maintenance) on the router, switch, my vms as well as on linux services (jellyfin/forgejo/etc) and windows services (lab for studying work-related tools).
I'm also interested in doing simple https checks on my webuis (i've had a service running but the website returning both 403 and 404 before) and testing nslookup on my internal dns (if the service is up but the lookups timeout I still want to try restarting the service).

Is there any FOSS/FLOSS alternatives that I should look into before diving into Zabbix?

 

So, being frustrated with a firefox addons copy not showing up with shift+ins in gnome-terminal I decided to switch gnome-terminal paste shortcut to shift+ins.
Are there any known bugs with doing this? I've only done some quick tests and seem to always get the clipboard info I'm expecting.

edit: Thanks to @[email protected] I now know about gpaste and use that to sync primary and selection both ways.

 

I'm looking into different self hosted open source multiuser password safes and while there are many options I haven't found one with a .deb or .rpm install - only a whole bunch of docker compose.

Do you know of any good options that are included in debian 12 or fedora 39 repositories or at least that has a .deb or .rpm?

Currently I'm using keepassxc but been asked for something that either has a webui login for end users or an android app.

edit 2024-02-17:
After looking into the .deb and .rpm options available (passbolt or unofficial vaultwarden-deb) I decided to bite the bullet and install a debian 12 vm that I will try out different docker solutions on.

Lazy Tomato Farm (imgur.com)
submitted 1 year ago by anamethatisnt to c/palia
 

A pattern for those like me that prefer not having to water and weed their farm every morning.
Turning 2x star tomatoes (sell value 2x34) into 2x star tomato seed packages (sell value 2x60) seems to be a great way to generate wealth offline. Just make sure the seed makers are filled up when you log off.

Med sommaren kommer mer tid att ägna sig åt hobbies och intressen. De flesta har något stort projekt som de "spar till semestern".
Mycket av mina planer har att göra med hus, eftersom jag nyligen köpt mig ett. Jag har många meter nätverkskabel jag vill dra för att få bättre prestanda mellan min hemmaserver, tv och datorrum för att nämna ett exempel.

Vad har du för sommarprojekt? Är det bilmek? Spela in egenkomponerad musik? Cykla från Malmö till Kiruna? Brygga en suröl?

Efter veckor av torka ska vi äntligen få regn till helgen. Eller inte.
Vi har odling av potatis, morötter och lök som försöker överleva i vår köksträdgård.
Vi har gett dem lite vatten om kvällarna men är samtidigt måna om att inte slösa på vattnet i brunnen.
Gräsmattan är en savann.

Hur hanterar ni trädgårdslivet en sommar som denna?
