Keep it like it is, and make a point to explain to anybody what your views are. I understand you not wanting to be considered a Nazi, but it is still ab almost 100 years old piece of history and I think it would be a pity to trash it.

Never forget history, means also keep "historic memorabilia". There is nothing bad in keeping a piece of history, good or bad, it's all our history and we should always be wary of trying to " trash it ".

Edit: you should edit your post and specify its not original. Them just trash it or melt if you can use the materials.

What if your home network goes down while you are away for a week and you cannot get it back online?

Not a risk I am willing to take, so a backup server would be required.

I I agree with everybody else saying that the email server should not be self-hosted. But I have a specific exception to this rule, which I was keen to try, but I never did this or take this with a pinch of salt.

I do self-host on my services, but at the moment I keep myself hosted email on a public server, not on my home server.

Since I am using a tunnel to access my services from outside, my home server is actually using my public server ip. moving my email self-hosting to my home server would not actually change the front facing IP address of that email server, and no harm would be done to my mail server.

But is it really worth it? Probably not. Since I would still need some kind of backup email server out on the internet for the rare situations where my home server is cut from the internet due to power outage or ISP being down.

You want full reliability for your email server. So your home connection without UPS or backup connection isn't going to cut the cheese fully.

So, I would suggest you don't self-host your email on your home server. You can still self-host your email, but on a public server. Be aware, though, that is a difficult task which will require lots of effort and many months to get it done right and accepted everywhere.

Hard to believe, but there is still people out there doing thongs for fun or to make the world a better place.

Its very sad to think that all efforts shall be rewarded by money alone.

All the open source contributions I do, I do for free, just because I feel obliged to give back to the community, and I think its the right thing to do.

I don't condemn devs who want to make money out of open source, but I applause those who truly understand what is at the base of the concept of open source and are able to contribute for the fun or for the good of it.

Including Jellyfin people.

Thanks guys!

Love Gentoo. Being using it for 20+ years and never looked back.

Using also CentOS for work, and would switch to Gentoo if I could.

Really, gentoo for everything (from laptop to headless server), but not for where a rolling release distro is not suitable (configuration control and such needs).

Gimp issue is not the name, it's the outdated UI and the dumb usage decisions like saving only in it's format. I moved to krita some years ago and I think that's the future. Gimp will still be along for a long time, and it should as its a great piece of software. Bit that's it.

Alternatives are good, and having krita and gimp is good.

Gimp name? Never even occurred to me that could be offensive. Not American here. Americans, get out of your asses (joking)... You are often offensive to the world but you don't care (not so much joking, and ofc I am wrong in generalization), so why should the others?

Everybody bashing this guy.

First of all, he is an Apple user... What do you expect?

Bet he was happy to pay cheaper price and disappointed to be... Tricked into buying something of the same value he was paying for?

Hard to stay serious on apple brainwashed guys.

At the same time, interesting to learn how even the most idiotic restrictions are always bypassed one way or the other. This fills me with hope for the future.

Usenet is fast and very convenient, but very little content in my language, so... Not sure will renew subscriptions when they expire.
