If I decide to put up with this type of attitude

Your the one insulting me.

Would you say pointing the finger at the linux devs and maintainers saying they should work harder does improve anything and drives ppl to volunteer?

Maybe you should take a read on Wikipedia on what gatekeeping is before you insult me. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatekeeping_(communication)

OC stated those things ‘should be worked on’. What else is it than blaming ppl?

Yes things could be better, but saying things should be better while sitting on their ass and doing nothing is just not correct to say. If you say it should be better then you should take part in it getting better.

Yes thats why i said in theory. I doubt that many residential IPs are blacklisted, but still not optimal.

IPv6 only works but there are probably many Mail Servers that are IPv4 only, so you will not receive mails from them.

If you are serious about it, rent a VPS or get a static IP on your residential connection.

It would be more reliable to use a ‘clean’ not blacklisted static IP.

But in theory you could just use ddns and update the IP. But I actually never tried it.

Mailcow comes ready out of the box. Just change the DNS entries according to Mailcow and you are good to go.

This has been said over and over again. I have been hosting Mail now for over 2 years and have yet to encounter any problems. Although, i would not recommend to set it up manually and rather advise to use one of the ‘all in one’ suggested solutions here in the thread.

A project ending as abandonware is always a possibility. One reason projects get abandoned is losing funding, which can be secured by using dual licensing and selling some features to businesses.

That is not my point.

Having a CE or OS version and an Enterprise Version can lead to conflict of interest. Do you add a feature to the OS Version or do you spend time on the Enterprise feature? There are a lot of examples, Emby is one, others are escaping me right now.

There are other models that work well like paid support etc. Nonetheless i will stay away.

Looks amazing. But the dual licensing scares me. The open variant could be artificially limited in functionality or could end up basic abandon ware.

I encountered it now multiple times that new TLD are discriminated against. They are more likely to get blocked. This applies not only to Mails also to any more controlled network like free wifi networks or business networks.

Go with a classic .com .net .org or a country TLD if you can.

Btw, also applies to registrations on online services.

Mailcow is amazing.

Importing exporting i would just use any mailclient and drag-drop them over. Depending on how many Mailboxes you have to transfer.

I absolutely disagree with you. If a manufacturer does not care about Linux support, it’s on the manufacturer. Do not blame the thousands of unpaid volunteers and a few paid ppl for not supporting a specific BT chip or controller or whatever.

The signing issue is so on OP cause disabling secure boot or using a supported distro like ubuntu could have fixed that, and yes you can run Windows 11 with Linux dual boot without secure boot.

Basically everything you stated, Bluetooth, Controller and GPU is hardware.

Your experience is probably different since you still think and act like you use windows. This is normal. When you are used to something and then switch to something that works differently you will run into problems.

Looks like you used hardware that was designed for windows and are blaming it now on Linux.

I am not understanding the issue you have that requires signing of drivers.

Yes some Bluetooth devices lack the support from the manufacturer’s for Linux, the Controllers i have used work great, at least for my needs.

Controllers have better support Linux for ages. Not understanding the issue here either.

Troubleshooting on Windows sucks at least to the same degree. The same non specific error message gets you 50 possible solutions.

No need to announce your departure.

I am not understanding the issue you have with DNS?

Just have a script that updates the DNS entry to your current public IP. If you do not like Cloudflare there are plenty of other services that offer a free API with their DNS service.

I think you are misunderstanding something here.

If i understand you correctly, your Server is accessing the VM disk images via a NFS share?

That does not sound efficient at all.

I assume you are referring to Filesystem Snapshotting? For what reason do you want to do that on the client and not on the FS host?

sshfs is somewhat unmaintained, only “high-impact issues” are being addressed https://github.com/libfuse/sshfs

I would go for NFS.

HA had 2 security audits. I would not worry too much. Always depends on what you can control with it. https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2023/10/19/security-audits-of-home-assistant/

Lennart Poettering intends to replace “sudo” with #systemd’s run0. Here’s a quick PoC to demonstrate root permission hijacking by exploiting the fact “systemd-run” (the basis of uid0/run0, the sudo replacer) creates a user owned pty for communication with the new “root” process.

To my understanding that actually solves issues. A lot of ppl already prefer other tools like doas since sudo is basically “too big” for what it does.

More code means more potential bugs. run0 has to my knowledge significantly less code. And the benefit of not relying on SUID.

In the end, you do you. The big distros will adopt what is good for them and good to maintain. You do not have to use it.
