To make the tea thing even better, in English when referring to Chinese black teas, they are called red tea instead... Because that's the color of the liquid.

That being said, if its label says red tea, its probably way higher quality than the tea bags you have at home.

It infers they are fake, not a real woman, just a facsimile of one.

I could never imaging referring to someone by a porn category, that's just gross.

Ah, that's fair. Their documentation is fully up to date now, but imo their example configs suck for beginners.

I will note that anything that can be done in the compose file can be done as a config file instead, with the exception of traefik.enabled=true if you are using a container whitelist instead of a blacklist.

It took me ages to set up, but i now have auto configuration of 95% of containers that need to be reverse proxied, without binding ports (just use the 'expose' option instead of 'ports' in docker compose).

But yes, all the guides and example configs insisting on using container labels instead of the dynamic config files make it feel way more bloated and confusing than needed.

Royal Canin reps literally sound like they are part of a cult when they talk about the biased pseudoscience their in-house studies produce.

When I worked at a pet store, the rep literally wouldn't enter the building if my boss was in, because he had so much fun pointing out the illogical bs claims they made in ways that the rep's ~~indoctrination~~ training materials didn't cover.

I am curious, what are the advantages of caddy over traefik?

Its a YA fantasy novel, written at the start of those getting more popular again. If you are looking for a series to just read for awhile, its not bad - the novels are all actually a decent length, and she has written several series within the same universe.

There is a lot of teenage angst in all of the books though.

Some dumbass at my workplace assigned a network folder to D:, and made it a department standard (along with 20 other network folders assigned their own drive letters) and so now you can't access external drives if you restart the computer with one plugged in.

Because windows assigns D:\ to the flash drive before user initialization, and then overwrites it with the network drive when they log in, which breaks both for that session.

~~This is why piefed implemented an anonymous voting option, so power tripping mods can't ban you for down voting their posts.~~

Never mind, I guess the power tripping mods got it removed.

Canadians dont pay for water still.

Our 'hydro' bill is electricity, due to it coming from hydro electric dams

And on the off years, the answer "Democrat idiot is perpetuating a war over oil".

Note: I am a Canadian who's social media history would definitely get me barred from Trump's america, and I am tired of how badly American politics affect my life.

Neither of those are actual emulators, just unified front ends for ROM management/emulation. Emudeck is essentially an installer and (in)sane config preset tool, emulation station is the frontend you use to boot the ROMs you want to play, in place of opening an individual emulator.

For emulation station you still need to install the emulators to a location it can see them.

Emudeck does that for you, with the exception of citra and the Nintendo Switch emulators.

 

So I am currently using PurelyMail for my email server, as it's hard to beat <$0.40/month for unlimited aliases, which I fully intend to replace when I can afford to justify a VPS. It is incredibly slow to use their webmail, and even checking for new emails can take awhile, so I was hoping to mitigate as much of that as possible by having a local copy of my emails and connecting to a self-hosted webmail/connecting my phone app to the local email server instead of the 3rd party one.

This would also act as an interim step to moving my email service to a non-US VPS smoothly, since I would have a copy of all my emails when the time comes.

The problem I am facing with this is being overwhelmed by choice, while not being sure of what I actually need. Every time I search this, I see suggestions of running a stack of 2-10 services, but not really a good explanation of why those services are needed - and some of the explanations seem to contradict each other (I use x services that seems to be feature complete, but I do this function with y service because that's how I set it up 10 years ago), and I am just not sure what I actually need.

I'm also not sure the best way to safely set it up within my current setup. Is it doable with Traefik+Authelia in docker? Should it be it's own dedicated VM? Should I make sure Traefik is watching port 143, or is it safe to forward the port directly to the container/VM?

For services I need to achieve what I want, what is actually necessary/not necessary?

  • I see dovecot mentioned a lot, and it seems to have a lot of environment variables that aren't at all listed in it's docker documentation. man dovecot also did not seem very enlightening to me.
  • I've also seen imapsync mentioned to be paired with dovecot, what does it do that dovecot doesn't?
  • While trying to figure out what I need, I have also seen things like docker-mailserver. This seems to be far more than necessary for my use case though, should I bother looking into it, or keep it simple?
  • For mail clients, what is the benefit of Thunderbird over something like Roundcube? Is it worth running a Thunderbird container if I want a webclient, or should I stick to a purpose-built one?
