  • I was using LibreOffice Calc on my work PC with a Threadripper CPU, and somehow it still chugs at times. Scrolling was very laggy with larger spreadsheets for example. I ended up using Google Sheets instead, which is way more responsive for me. If it was for personal use, I’d probably try IronCalc.

    even if 10% of kids get around the ban somehow, the fact that 90% don’t removes a huge part of the social in social network

    The kids that get around the ban will spread that knowledge to others. That’s what happened when I went to school, and I don’t think it’s any different today.

    Parents should be doing a better job parenting, rather than relying on the state to do it for them.

    Also, when has banning kids from doing something actually stopped them from doing it? Even “back in my day”, using a proxy to bypass blocked sites was common knowledge amongst the smarter kids. The tech savvy kids would host their own proxies using a free web hosting service and PHProxy (or similar software). These days, it’s much easier to use a VPN or proxy.




  • It doesn’t detect the settings

    Autodiscovery needs DNS SRV entries to be added for each domain. The legacy Exchange- and Outlook-specific way was a file at /autodiscover/autodiscover.xml but I don’t know if email clients still use that.

    I have to ignore the certificate warning

    I’m not familiar with Stalwart but you should be able to use Let’s Encrypt certificates.



  • I self-host my emails, but use an SMTP relay for sending. IMO, the interesting part of self hosting email is the storage. Outbound sending is more complex and there’s not as much benefit to self-hosting it.

    I use Mailcow and have it configured to use a relay per domain. Email clients use the Mailcow server as their SMTP server, and Mailcow (well, Postfix) handles sending it to the appropriate relay.


  • Keen is crap since moving production to china

    A lot of people have an outdated view of the quality of stuff made in China. They think that everything is bad quality just because their $2 Aliexpress item doesn’t last forever.

    Most iPhones are made in China for example. Like anywhere, there’s both good quality and bad quality products, depending on how much the company is willing to pay. Sometimes the quality is actually higher - for example, Tesla Model 3s manufactured in China have far fewer issues with road noise, panel alignment, and overall fit and finish compared to the ones manufactured in the USA. These days, China has far more experience with manufacturing, and a lot of the raw components (especially for electronics) come from China anyways.

    Some companies that outsource manufacturing to China also lower their standards at the same time. It’s not the manufacturing in China that’s the problem; it’s the company’s decision to cheapen their product.

    you can override this by setting an IP on the port exposed so thet a local only server is only accessable on 127.0.0.1

    Also, if the Docker container only has to be accessed from another Docker container, you don’t need to expose a port at all. Docker containers can reach other Docker containers in the same compose stack by hostname.
