  • For incoming mail, on your server run a mail retrieval agent like fetchmail to fetch mail from the externally hosted mailbox into a maildir on your server.
  • To serve that maildir to your clients, on your server run a mail delivery agent like the IMAP server Dovecot.
  • To accept outgoing mail from your clients, on your server run something like Postfix with a relayhost configured with the details of your externally hosted SMTP server.

There's nothing unusual or tricky about any of this arrangement.

popular mechanics 1963 tip, depicting the disposal of used engine oil into a gravel filled hole in the ground
(Please don't do this. Pour the old oil into the empty container and return it to the store for responsible disposal, or municipal hazardous waste facility, or whatever scheme exists in your location)

"Reverse racism" isn't really a thing.

The organisers make a thoughtful observation of existing positive discrimination widely accepted in pricing:

They also noted that staggered ticketing structures "are not uncommon".

"Discounted tickets are widely offered to various groups including seniors, students, unwaged, and locals to name a few. This structure exists beyond [the event] WAVES, and is utilised by businesses and organisations alike, in an effort to prioritise affordability for specific demographics."

Flows nicely, but it's an inaccurate collage of plot elements.

  • Isildur lost the ring in a river.
  • Déagol found the ring in a river.
  • Sméagol killed Déagol for the ring.
  • Sméagol (now Gollum) lost the ring in a cave.
  • Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Frodo, Gollum, 🌋?

Australia:

That's not a magpie; this is a magpie

 

Of course, the real story here is how the elderly (and everyone else) are fucked over by car dependency and its associated suburban sprawl, shit public transport, and unwalkable neighbourhoods.

 

Tip of the iceberg when it comes to examining the corruption of land ownership in Australia. It's hardly talked about. The linked article doesn't even talk about it.

The public as a whole (and traditional owners) should be the only financial beneficiaries of rezoning.

I suspect private maximisation of rezoning profits is the reason behind why urban developments here are almost universally that awful single-story no-greenspace roof-to-roof packed suburban hellscape.

 

The Australien Government has made an ad about its Whistleblower Protection Laws, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Better yet, boycott http etc entirely.

Appealing the removal didn’t yield any result. Google just repeated the same statement "the app was removed because it uploads the contact list" without even acknowledging any of the arguments I made in the appeal.

I understand that most of my audience here on Mastodon is more ideology aligned with F-Droid but the app sales on Google Play store have contributed significantly to me working (almost) full time on #Conversations_im.

Without the revenue from Google Play I can’t afford this.

Panquake have released some source code. Not for Panquake itself, but for a link shortening service. I suppose it's a brand-exposure exercise.
