That reminds me of the movie Priest (2011), the “Church” did exactly that because daily confession was mandatory

The reasons us elders use VI is because on a new installation, it was the only thing available until:
-
You are lucky enough to find a compiled version of PINE/PICO, or
-
You have the compiler installed, and can get the source code and build it yourself.
For some reason, some elitists decided that if you don’t know that, then you are a failure. But honestly, when modern distros started coming out with WYSIWYG-type editors, it was a relief, even though I reverted to VI/VIM because of muscle-memory, I do not push it on new users. It’s the same argument people make for driving manual vs automatic, sure it’s useful, but when was the last time you even saw a manual car? (At least in North America).
You want to live dangerously, go ahead and put NetBSD with just the basics and leave the rest of us who want to do something useful alone.

I second Mailcow. I use it on a residential IP and have a smarthost for relaying in/out since my isp blocks port 25.
For relay, I use mxroute.com, I have a lifetime account and Mailcow has a fetchmail option.

7·1 year agoIf you are concerned about TruNAS, go look at Xigmanas. This is the original FreeNAS project before iX acquired the name.
About a million years ago, back in 2007/2008 that is, there was this small company called Hexago that did R&D in IPv6 networking, they were behind the Frenet6 project and created the networking stack and the TSP client that would let you tunnel a /56 IPv6 network over a dynamic IPv4 connection.
One the projects was a tiny hardware router, I honestly forget who made it, but Hexago would buy them, then we would flash each one with WRT+TSP client custom image, the idea was you plug this in your network and you have IPv6 connection in your network without doing any magic configuration.
It worked well until we lost finding.
So yeah, OpenWRT is old and not just for Linksys routers :)
Take a look at openonserve
DHCP?
Your old host registered an fqdn and did mnt remove it, then the new host registered the same ip to a different fqdn.
It happens
I have no idea what you are using for dhcp/dns but start by looking there
I’ve been daily driving boring Debian since RedHat Linux 8 came out 20 years ago now. I tried switching to openSUSE and just didn’t see the point after a bit, so I switched back. The only time I’m not on Debian is when I’m playing with FreeBSD or NetBSD.
Same for DE, I’ve been using XFCE for so long that I don’t get the fuss about pretty environments.
Not hopping does not mean you’re missing out, boring can be good. Things are stable and stay out of the way of you doing actual work.
There is a quote out there somewhere about how customizing FVWM can become an obsession.
There is nothing wrong about hopping, as long as you are doing it for hobbyist reasons, at the end of day the only difference is the package manager and the DE.
Good luck

Linux@lemmy.ml•CIQ, Oracle and SUSE Create Open Enterprise Linux Association for a Collaborative and Open Future
1·3 years agoRedHat originally had one distribution called “RedHat Linux”, not to be confused with RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
RedHat Linux was free, you can buy support if you want, and there was also RedHat Advanced Server, which was a paid subscription.
In 2002, the company rebranded Advanced Sever to RHEL and discontinued RedHat Linux, pissing off a lot of people off.
This started people working on multiple binary compatible distributions, the one that dominated the market was CentOS.
20 years later, the cycle is repeating.

0·3 years agoRemember why CentOS (and WhiteBox) came to exist?
This is not the first time RedHat pulls that stunt, this is the reason I stick to pure Debian.
I like SUSE, but I’m hesitant of relying on another commercial entity although business requires it.
For now Deb and Ian are the safest bet and my daily driver since 2002, they have not let me down.
