imagine using proprietary email server software
this post made by postfix gang
All the cool kids use libre! Is the postfix gang also a Linux gang though?
you can run it on pretty much any unix-like os, so it can be part of linux gang. unfortunately it's not gpl though
i use arch btw
edit: oh and also ubuntu server (i tried alpine since i run everything in containers but it's a pain in the ass)
Btw !libre has a Matrix room where a couple of us work together on promoting libre software here. It isn't a commitment or anything like that :)
cool i'll check it out, give me a bit to make a matrix acct that isn't tied to any of my personal info though
Send me your username to add you there when you make the new account
Manjaro but I'm probably gonna switch to Arch soon or at least Endeavour
Getting postfix/dovecot running has actually proven to be much more difficult than I anticipated. :(
I'm going to take another stab at it this weekend though.

Agreed. Thought everyone ought to run their own email server (if only it would be easy and exploit free).
Something like Mailcow or Mail-in-a-box probably make things much simpler, but I'm trying to set up a multipurpose Gentoo server without A: spinning up a dozen containers for email, or B: shelling out for a second VPS dedicated strictly for email.
I'm working with 2GB of RAM here. I'd rather keep the containerization to a minimum. I'd like to set up Gitea and deploy some customized software into containers, but I don't want to containerize anything that ships with the distro if I can avoid it.
oh yeah it's a complete pain in the ass. my setup was doubly painful because i decided it would be a good idea to do it from a residential ip address, so i have to run it through an ipv6 tunnel otherwise port 25 is blocked
tentatively, terrified I am about to be Owned W-What's... What's Hafnium?
Wait, sorry I thought you were joking about having a computer approved by the FBI or something :) First thing is to ditch Windows 10 for Linux because Windows 10 is closed source and basically spyware. Let me know if you've any questions about Linux.
A princess shouldn't be using old software that isn't supported :)
If it's running linux is it good to go? I imagined hardware was compromised as well. @drinkinglakewater sort of has the same thought process. I hear mint is a noob friendly flavor of linux, is that true?
I was half joking. There's been several proof of concepts attacks using certain hardware exploits in the architecture of Intel CPUs iirc, but those require physical access to your machine and if the FBI has that you're probably already toast. Pirate is correct, security isn't a yes or no, it's a set of layers that you need to put together to protect yourself
The main thing to keep in mind is that privacy isn't a zero sum game and that we should have a threat model. We do know that Windows is closed source and might have backdoors plus all the data collection they do and so on. This is easy to fix by using Linux and mitigates huge risks, you know?
Libre hardware is actually available but I'm not sure chapos need to go that far. At least let's all switch to Linux first. Mint is use friendly and so is Kubuntu (Ubuntu+KDE Plasma ) which I recommend because it's very stable, noob friendly and comes with Plasma Desktop Environment which is very powerful and easy to customize while being resource efficient. Let me know if I didn't express my point well
