There is not much to document on how to set it up. The gui is very intuitive.

You need to setup the relay domains, transports and Options>DNSBL under configuration > mail proxy

It depends a bit on your needs. My proxmox setup is like multiple nodes (computers) with local (2 drives with ZFS mirrorig), they all use a truenas server as NFS host for data storage. For some things I use conaitners (LXC) but other thing I use VMs.

It is, I looked at several vendor’s and it’s all te same except for the nice gui. They all have their own blacklist that they feed with the spam/ham queries from their devices.

Personally not, I primarily use Samsung but hear from colleagues that they had issues with other brands. The other thing is that there are only 2 brands that make screens, Samsung and LG. Those screens are used by all the other brands as well.

That was the most know computer running that software.

They don’t have to cost money. The mail filter appliances are all based on postfix, spamassassin and a virus scanner like clamav. The thing you pay for is the nice gui.

Google started as the always ad free search engine.

I recently moved to Mailcow, it’s a one in all solution. My spam filter is Proxmox mail gateway, also very user friendly.

Car manufacturers came to the same conclusion and tada there is Stellantis and 50% of all cars came from the same factory. Houses are pre-fab for decades. Humans love brands but many items come from the same factory just with another label.

That there are so many Linux distro’s is why it’s still a niche on desktops and it will always stay that way.

I also have a mail filter, I have been hosting my own mail server for the last 25 years.

Microsoft and Google are the company with the highest number of contributions to the Open Source community, that is in volume.

The problem with the diversity is that, because they all know it better, there isn’t any perfect distro. If they would work together and fix all the flaws that make people choose another distro it would be perfect and compatitive, now it’s just not.

First: You shouldn’t care about what others think.

I can understand why your husband thinks it’s too late for him. I am also in my 50’s and my daughter has a 6 months old son and I could never do that again. It’s not just now but if that newborn is 20 your husband is 71.

The screens Sony uses are Samsung or LG but just against a premium price.

Today I would say that Samsung is the most reliable brand for TV’s. If your tv would last longer than 5-10 years you would never buy a new one.

I have been using computers since the early 1980’s, using Linux and Windows for over 30 years now.

Money is not the issue. Microsoft and Google are among the largest contributors in the OS community, most meaningfull packages have been bought, adopted by larger companies. The problem is the Linux community itself. How many distributions are there? Every piece of Linux software has to run on all these ditro’s, that is impossible without compromises.

For corporate use OS is hardly usable, most companies want support contracts on everything they use and that is not possible.

Yes, that works just fine. Wen my daughter was at her boyfriend’s place she used a wireguard tunnel to my house to use Netflix.

Ok, the only country in Europe currently still using dial up is Croatia, the rest of Europe has shutdown those services years ago. Telephone wires have been used for aDSL since the early 2000s and stil used for vDSL but dial up?

That’s horrible, I got fiber at home 1GB up and down. How can you expect a country to be at the top of things when you don’t invest.

It’s funny that the US still has dial-up. In the Netherlands the last dial-up provider stopped their service on oktober 1st 2021, and that was already late.
