  • Email server thru cloudflare

    Jump

  • If you don't mind having email go through Gmail etc, then you might not want to full host, but just run a local IMAP server. There are some pop to SMTP solutions you can use to pull your emails (fetchmail.) you can then use your account as an outbound relay. Keep in mind you'll only be able to set this up for a single account if you use something like Gmail.

    If you buy a business product like workspace or m365, you should be able to setup relay/hybrid connectors for multiple accounts.

  • We're probably not the only ones running outdated software

    Jump

  • Accountants have it hard even if they do keep up-to-date. We migrated one to a new server, but some of their clients still use archaic versions of accounting software. Unfortunately beyond a particular age it won't activate the new install, so they are stuck telling the client to upgrade or continue to run the old server as well.

  • Spaceship!

    Jump

  • This meme is basically what airplane 2 was.

  • Smart sous vide cooker to start charging $2/month for 10-year-old companion app

    Jump

  • Bd players need internet as they only have keys for the discs made before they were made. So if you stick a newer disc in it won't play until it gets updated.

  • Use a password manager

    Jump

  • I tell non techy people to use a physical book that they can secure. People know how to do hide things or put them in a safe. Digital security is harder to understand and I would say a book in a safe place is way better than reusing passwords they find hard to remember.

  • Google is discontinuing the Chromecast line

    Jump

  • I think the reason they drop these things is that the project leaders move on and one one wants to take that job anymore. If there is no one to push it, no one cares and it gets axed. The person that setup Google+ probably wasn't around after it launched, so momentum was just completely lost.

    Calling them greedy gives them more credit than the apathy they had to begin with.

  • NASA Ping

    Jump

  • Can replace go to lunch with come back after the weekend.

  • Crowdstrike

    Jump

  • Microsoft actually tried to make these changes to prevent the need for kernal drivers. However security companies called foul and the EU told ms to not continue. There was worry that defender would end up with better access than 3rd party products.

  • What is a product you would never recommend?

    Jump

  • For me it was the Microsoft intellimouse, the led one. It had 5 buttons, one on each side so it was also ambidextrous. Now I have a mouse graveyard box.

  • Valve gives developers some big reasons to add a demo on Steam

    Jump

  • Hopefully it also means they are more likely to stay up. During one of the next feats I downloaded a few demos to try later, but as soon as the fest ended I need to purchase to play some of them. I guess as the demo was just the main game, but set as a demo.

  • CrowdStrike offers a $10 apology gift card to say sorry for outage

    Jump

  • You're not safe there either, they had almost the same issue on the Linux version of the product a few months ago.

  • It is done when it is done!

    Jump

  • Windows update is definitely milestones. 30% is the "reboot milestone" so if it shows less, it needs to reboot to finish applying.

  • Steam Beta adds many more Game Recording improvements

    Jump

  • Added the ability to save a specific frame of a video as a steam screenshot

    I was actually using snipping tool for this as it was missing. Being able to get a screenshot of something after the fact is a nice feature.

  • Electrons are easy

    Jump

  • I think that is electrostatics + relativity.

  • They did not reply.

    Jump

  • HumanFemales and HumanM both inherit from the Ape base class, it's from an older java code base. We tried to change it once but it turned out the person that had written had retired and any changes we made just broke stuff.

  • Even in the slowest lane

    Jump

  • The only time I actually experienced this was in the states. Lady doing 5 under in outside lane, big queue trying to get past by pulling in Infront of me (with space.) Had to push past my Britishness to undertake.

  • Slack Will Begin Deleting Older Content From Free Workspaces

    Jump

  • This change has basically no effect for anyone on a free workspace. Since you can't read those messages anyway. It only matters if you were going to go paid.

    I think it's more likely that slack has decided that all free workspaces that would upgrade, probably have, and they don't want to store all those messages that aren't going to be read anyway.

  • Steam users have spent $19 billion on games they’ve never played

    Jump

  • I have to be honest, i much prefer only having to look once during the sale. Having to check every 6 hours kind required you to plan your day to check for deals.

  • Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough

    Jump

  • S mode does allow you to turn it off, so it's more like a hobbled version of home.

    The computer is as bad as one I saw several years ago with 64g emmc and "Quad core processor." not a quad core, it was literally the name that showed in system. It did have 4 cores: at 400Mhz, boosting to 1.1Ghz. Buyer changed their mind and we couldn't give it away.
