I’m sure the wrap shops love getting those calls

I’ve been using paperless-ngx to consume mail from outlook/hotmail for a while now, but recently had the mail server refuse connections while mail was being processed. (Not sure why, consuming is working now with no changes and no errors besides ‘connection refused’, while retrieving that mail. Temporary outage I guess?)...

Does anyone have a working Vikunja instance sending emails through Gmail? I’ve enabled the mailer options and entered the info but the test_email function times out. I’ve checked all the information and even tried different ports....

I won’t be taking questions.

I’ve made it my mission to get banned from NextDoor while trolling the MagaHats. They won’t stop sending me notifications. I’ve been stealing memes from the lemmy.world/c/shermanposting group....

By “good” I mean code that is written professionally and concisely (and obviously works as intended). Apart from personal interest and understanding what the machine spits out, is there any legit reason anyone should learn advanced coding techniques? Specifically in an engineering perspective?...

I’m stuck at part when you have to lead those horses and can’t find solution nowhere on internet

After upgrading my internet connection I immediatelly noticed that my HDD tops 40 MB/s and bottlnecking download speed in qbittorrent. Is it possible to use SSD drive as a catch drive for 12 TB HDD so it uses SSD speeds when downloading and moves files to HDD later on? If yes, does it make sense? Anyone using anything simmilar?...

If we consider information to be safe if we encrypt it (e.g., text in a file, encrypted with modern strong encryption), would it be safer (as in harder to crack) if we then encrypted the encrypted file, and encrypted the encrypted^2 file, etc.? Is this what strong encryption already does behind the scenes?

Hi....

I’ve been trying to use Matrix to replace sites like Discord or Slack. But it seems that if a user creates an invitation-only room in a server, then invited users who are registered on other servers get errors when trying to join. Not very useful error messages either: “Failed to join room”. (In my case, I tried creating...

As we all know, AC won the “War of the Currents”. The reasoning behind this is that AC voltage is easy to convert up/down with just a ring of iron and two coils. And high voltage allows us to transport current over longer distances, with less loss....

Is this as much of a pain in the ass as I remember? Do I still need to patch the download and then block Adobe in my hosts file, or has the process changed?...

Out of a reflex of distrust, I refuse to participate in any kind of loyalty program of the outlet of the large retail store around the corner....

So quite a few lemmy clients have a tagging feature for users. I use it quite constantly because I like to remember who I’m talking to. Though for some I just use it for descriptors. A few of you are listed as stubborn, a few of you are listed as don’t engage, a few are Nice, or helpful, or Pug. I believe one of you is just...

I’m interested in helping friends tell the difference between fact and fiction, truth and hearsay and general stuff like that that gives peace of mind that they can defend themselves from gaslighting, makes life easier to live, and harder to be taken advantage of by propaganda. Just a few examples....
