I made my own mailserver. Completely native python. Exchange functionality so integrates with phone well. It's completely file based. Have it a week in production and no issues so far.
Mail setups are normally scary as fuck. It's often a spaghetti of applications. Terror pasta. Mine is a nice monolith and actually the most easy to use. It does not provide a web interface for composing emails. There are plenty of those that will work with this server.
It's 2026 and we're building a mailserver. Innovation.9 -
considering the amount of bugs introduced with each release of gnome de, by now i'm sure people who use gnome do nothing with their machines and using linux for them is just a gimmick.
they boot up the os and just look at the desktop and say: wow, what great desktop, gnome is sure the best.
same people are very vocal when you point out a bug or an issue in the github/lab pages. responding to you with "i never had that problem in my entire life not even once, ever."
assholes making software and idiots using it in their world of butterflies and rainbows. then here i am trying to open most basic apps without crashing.3 -
I don't understand some devs. Sometimes there are senior devs that instead of documenting requirements on paper, they decide to call you and tell you all the complex requirements for half an hour and expect you to just get up and develop what they just said.
Wtf is wrong with some people. Better: Jira, documentation, e-mail, communication.13 -
now YouTube is giving me one of those disclaimer notes under a computerphile video saying "dead Internet theory" is a conspiracy theory...
what. how does that even make sense. so I guess we have to pretend there are no bots on the internet or something now11 -
Is refactor as part of a ticket a good idea. Like mixing refactoring and features all the time because we can’t find time for tech debt otherwise?10
