I’ve been running mail servers for about thirty years; my personal ones and production for 100K+ users.

The personal one is a pain for the reasons you mentioned. I use sendmail instead of postfix, but I was able to use some rules to push certain messages through other relays.

I signed up for Amazon SES and have so far stayed in their free tier. Mail coming from one of my addresses always goes through SES, and mail from any address to certain domains (aol.com, gmail.com, etc.) go through SES as well.

It allows me to ensure delivery for my important mails, but leave things up to chance for less important ones.

It’s the best solution I’ve been able to come up with for a really annoying situation. Big Tech ruined it all.

I like LibreCAD, but it’s a little too simple sometimes. I miss the power of AutoCAD, but I don’t miss its price.

Three things I want are

• being able to assign heights to objects and do 3D stuff
• being able to assign labels to objects (instead of circle3761 I’d like to call it ‘fountain’ or something)
• splines are really finicky, and you can’t do things like a fillet on more complex objects

It took a couple of days to get used to and probably a week of use before I was 100% comfortable, but I find that it meets most of my needs now.

I use LibreCAD for architecture work and will take a look at FreeCAD.

Has anyone else tried both for architectural work? How did they compare for you?

It wasn’t always followed on Reddit, but downvoting there was supposed to be for comments that don’t contribute to the conversation.

Here the guidance is looser – the docs don’t address comments, but do say to “upvote posts that you like.”

I’ve tried contributing to some conversations and sometimes present a different viewpoint in the interest of thought exchange, but this often results in massive downvotes because people disagree. I’m not going to waste my energy contributing to a community that ends up burying my posts because we have different opinions.

That’s true on Reddit to, so I’m kind of being tangential to the original question. I guess what I’m saying is that some people might feel like I do and won’t engage in any community, be it Reddit or Lemmy, if it’s just going to be an echo chamber.

I set up LinkWarden about a month ago for the first time and have been enjoying it. Thank you!

I do have some feature requests – is GitHub the best place to submit those?

I’m a big fan of netdata; it’s part of my standard deployment. I put in some custom configs depending on what services are running on what servers. If there’s an issue it sends me an email and posts into a slack channel.

Next step is an influxdb backend to keep more history.

I also use monit to restart certain services in certain situations.

I wish it was database agnostic. And I’m slightly concerned about the version three rewrite.

It does look awesome, and I’ll revisit it to see where things are in six months.

I have one set up as an irrigation controller. I was going to build an OpenStack cluster to test configuration settings on (I run a production cluster at work), but gave up when the supply chain problems happened and prices skyrocketed.
