I have an email server but it is not my main email account. I’m purely only using it to learn and to have email notifications sent out from a few services. I do not trust myself or my setup enough to have my main email account hosted on it

Hello world!
After my first job as a printer technician I can believe some of the horrors to expect. Training on a nice shiny new printer vs one that had been installed upside down, backwards and whilst drunk…20 years ago haha
Ideally yes… This is a previous owners mistake I’m fixing. My options here are: reattach back using another drywall anchor (not my preferred option). Anchor one side into a stud and if the other side reaches it the other side into another stud and patch the holes or glue it back in place (again not ideal). I’m leaning towards option B here.
Ah it’s on three bits of wood screwed into the wall. Can still unscrew it and flip it over though so I may do that.
They have, but you can still find them on the second hand market. I m not looking forward to the day they stop supporting them however
Firewatch is a good example of this. Wandering round an empty forest, seeing an evergrowing forest fire all the time. It’s quite eerie but not outright horror.
Chocolate and pistachio tart I made a couple days ago
Ah this isn’t the chromecast streaming devices I’m talking about. It’s the older pucks that plug into an aux cable that you can stream music from your phone to
Thanks! I’ll check it out
I’m going to shore it up
Oh no the left picture is the before… Its gone downhill in terms of the mess
That reminds me I need to take a look at the flusher on my toilet. It’s being intermittent
Reattaching my towel rack to my wall. It was held in with drywall anchors but those have failed so will either repatch and reattach or glue it back on. Depends on how done with it I am
Honestly… I might get some pushback for this but Chromecast audio. Being able to get full home audio streaming for a fraction of the cost of a normal system with a few of those and a few old hifis. Worth it for me
Well it’s night here so sleep. But after that I’ve got work then I might study a bit, eat some cake. Nothing much really
Good luck on retraining!
Honestly, throw a couple services running on ubuntu servers on the proxmox machine. It’s not the same as book learning, but it does help a lot with the basics and patchy knowledge I found. Not saying I’m an expert or anything, but I do know a lot more about managing Linux servers now than I did 5 years ago from running 15 of them on Proxmox
This is actually my second foray into IT work. I went to college for software development, failed that, went to work as a printer technician, left that, went into retail and now I am here. Thanks!
Personally for me it’s that it’s not as resource heavy as windows whilst offering a similar out of box ‘it just works’. Sure it’s not the best tool for the job in a lot of regards but for example I have two laptops from early 2014. A macbook air and a windows laptop running windows 10. The macbook air runs smoothly when browsing the Web, or studying whereas the windows laptop ends up slowing down a lot and chugging.
I will say I am a fan of the best tool for the job approach though. Doing a lot of office based work and need word editing or spreadsheet editing? Windows. Gaming? Windows. Server work? Linux. Music/video production? Macs
