@gemlog I used to do that a long time ago, I think I stopped self-hosting in 2008ish. Zoho costs a bit, but it's better than hosting on google themselves, and the interface is almost as good. No ads. One thing I ended up doing was switching my sending domain to not match my receiving domain. I get constant notices and bounces from people sending spam spoofing my receiving domain. @MMRnmd @keithzg @requiem @VeilidNetwork
@requiem @gemlog @VeilidNetwork @keithzg I wouldn't want to build an entire new system. So google defederated you, that doesn't mean you have to move to a different protocol. Just use the same protocol with other people who aren't on google. I pay a non-google email service to maintain my domain for me still.
@requiem I don't see any examples of people trying it, and I don't have a latte panda to try it on. Does it only support UEFI or something?
@requiem I mean, any cheap x64 board should work for Haiku. You probably won't see them at Raspberry Pi prices most of the time though, so plan for the $100-200 range.
@psykose @developing_agent @marcan I was Extremely disappointed when I took that thing apart and found that it was cobbled together from cheap consumer-grade wall sockets and aluminum wiring. It made me want to get commercial grade wall sockets and copper wire and rebuild the whole thing, just keeping the outer shell of the rack power distribution box..
@psykose @developing_agent @marcan Mostly because it's a sign that something is being made super cheaply, especially when it only has maybe a meter of wires, and it's a multi-hundred dollar power distribution bar...
@marcan @developing_agent Aluminum wiring is still a really bad idea, they used to be used in cheap mobile homes before 1974 before they were banned, mostly because they have high resistance and overheat.
@hotdogsladies Ohh, KFC, one of the other 3 that were once owned by pepsi. I didn't think that KFC was given access to the Baja Blast though.
@developing_agent @marcan Hah! I hadn't even watched the video by the time I said that, and what do you know, ALUMINUM WIRING IN THE TRANSFORMER!
@TechConnectify @immibis @smokku We need more nuclear plants, obviously, if we're going heatpump in the winter. :D
@TechConnectify @theotherlinh My house is way too insulated, and retains the heat from my computers in the summer way too well... Even in the winter sometimes I have to open the window to get it below 80 in my room.
@TechConnectify @irina The first house I lived in was on Propane for 7-8 years before they finally built the natural gas network out to us. My aunt is still on propane here. I don't think we had to change our two gas-based appliances out when we made the switch, might have just been some nozzle adjustments or something.
@TechConnectify @delta_vee The first house I lived in, the heating ducting was under the floor. That doesn't work for ranch style slab houses like my current one though. Oddly, that house had a separate closet for the heater and hot water boiler too. Would have been a lot better to put them in the same closet since they both needed Propane or Natural Gas.
@TechConnectify @delta_vee ACs were introduced rather late here, most houses don't have them. The ones that do are usually mini-split ductless style or window units. Central AC other than the split units is essentially limited to commercial buildings, and I've never worked on the AC on those.
@TechConnectify @SocialJusticeHeals It would have made more sense for them to be located together here since both of them do the same job, using natural gas to boil water, but they're in two different areas of the house for me. No idea why.
@TechConnectify @delta_vee It's a gas fired, water boiling furnace. I'm not sure how I'd fit cold air through the hot water line.
@TechConnectify @delta_vee It seems bizarre that you'd need a whole unit for something that's essentially a radiator and a fan.
@delta_vee @TechConnectify The only split units like that I've seen, the indoor unit is flat against the wall and doesn't use ducting...
