zzzzzz,

This is pretty compelling. I vote “solved”.

zzzzzz,

Same. It has really helped my neck, too. I used to need to prop myself up on a pillow so that my arms wouldn’t fall asleep. Now, it’s no problem.

zzzzzz,

How well do they self-clean? How often do you need to clean it manually?

zzzzzz,

Well, if they hadn’t posted here, I, for one, would never have become aware of the issue, and I’m glad I have!

zzzzzz,

… So… Is it true or not?!

zzzzzz,

I got his meaning. Isn’t that the purpose of language, in the end?

zzzzzz,

I am currently working on this. Finally got the Docker working and am importing my 15GB mbox as we speak! I’ll post back here about how it works out.

zzzzzz,

Does mutt have search capabilities? Is it optimized such that it would be effective with large mailboxes? Thanks!

zzzzzz,

Alas, no! Things seemed to be going well: I got >90k messages imported from my Google Takeout mbox file before the import was interrupted (not mailpiler’s fault). At this point, I logged into the “auditor” account and was able to see my emails and search them. But, then I resumed the import. By the end of today, the import was finished (~150k messages total). When I logged in with the auditor account, I got some error “No search results” and nothing I could do about it. This is actually what happened last time I tried mailpiler, too, now that I recall. All seemed fine, but, it seems, the database got corrupted or something along the way… So, now it’s useless. I might try it one more time over the next few days. I’ll keep y’all posted.

zzzzzz, (edited )

Yes, I’m coming to similar conclusions myself. To be fair, encryption is a configurable option with Mailpiler. But, yes, it is all digested and stored in a mysql database, which is definitely more opaque than plaintext in the filesystem. I might try the mutt + notmuch solution described by @marty_relaxes below. Sounds like it might be a challenge to set up but would work great forever after. I’ll need to figure out how to convert my mbox files to maildir, but Google suggests there are tools for that. Good luck to you, let us know what you ultimately figure out! I’ve been working on this off-and-on for a few months now without figuring our a good solution!

Edit: I guess, if you want fast full-text search, a database will have to enter the equation somewhere, though.

zzzzzz,

Thanks for this! I’m going to try to get this set up. It sounds perfect.

zzzzzz,

Well, I’ve solved it! I now have a web interface (accessible via VPN, although, in principle, I could expose it to the internet) that allows fast, full-text search of all my old emails. Here is the recipe:

  1. Maildir: I converted all my mbox files to maildir using this python script: superuser.com/…/how-to-convert-mbox-mail-files-as…
  2. Installed notmuch via my distro’s repository and set it up (notmuch setup & notmuch new). This creates a new folder in your maildir directory containing full-text search info.
  3. Installed netviel via python3 -m pip install netviel and then ran it via python3 -m netviel

That’s it! This let’s you search locally. I actually did a few more steps because I wanted to containerize this thing so I could run it on my NAS. I’d be happy to go into detail about that too, if you’re interested. One hiccup was that, for some reason, netviel binds to 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0, and there is no way to change that without compiling the project yourself. But, I found a workaround for my Docker container where you can use socat bound to 0.0.0.0 to redirect requests to netviel, so that requests from other computers appear local to netviel.

Anyway, that makes it all sound more complicated than it is. I am super-pleased to have solved this problem at last!

Ublock users who got hit by Youtube's anti-adblock effort- how's your experience been?

I started getting the dreaded anti-adblock pop-ups on Youtube when they started ramping up their efforts a month or so back, and I initially went through the whole rigamarole: First it was just the pop-up, then it was the pop-up with the timer, then the 3-video countdown finally leading to the video player being disabled...

zzzzzz,

What browser are you using?

zzzzzz,

Even better, so it mutates into superior data!

Should I install Linux on my smartphone?

I have a Samsung Galaxy J3 (2018) smartphone which currently has the stock Samsung Android OS installed on it. I wanted to install an Android “distro” that doesn’t spy on me, like Graphene OS, but I couldn’t find a ROM for it. Since I would probably need to compile AOSP from source code anyways, I though, why not install...

zzzzzz,

brick it 4 times

I’d be impressed if the battery lasted long enough for that!

zzzzzz,

I just spent an hour trying to get this installed in a Proxmox VM. No dice. After install, it just boots to the GRUB rescue prompt. Oh well, seems like a cool idea.

zzzzzz,

Fun fact: Brussel sprouts taste better now because the bitterness was intentionally selectively bred out of them in the '90s. They were, apparently, only bitter for a period of time because the ones that were easiest to mechanically harvest were bitter. Pre-mechanical harvesting, less bitter varieties were more popular.

zzzzzz,

I was with you until you did potatoes dirty.

zzzzzz,

And farts.

Your favorite web UI for your linux server?

Do you use any web ui’s for your Linux server? I’m comfortable managing my server using the command line, but I also want a graphical interface that shows an overview of what is running on the server, the way the resources are being used what containers are running and so on. Also file download uploads would be great to...

zzzzzz,

I have found Nginx Proxy Manager to be a huge time-saver for configuring nginx and certbot.

[Solved with Gluetun] Tailscale ExitNode with VPN

I would really really really like to have one device on my tailnet as the exitnode for all other devices on the tailnet. However, most VPNs make this really difficult. Is there any way to do this? I’ve read it’s possible with split-tunnelling, but ProtonVPN (which I use) doesn’t support that. I just installed Alpine Linux...

zzzzzz,

I have solved this problem! The trick is to use two Docker containers:

  1. Gluetun (github.com/qdm12/gluetun): set this up to connect to your VPN.
  2. Tailscale (tailscale.com/kb/1282/docker/): set this to use the Gluetun network.

Here is an example docker-compose.yml:

zzzzzz,

Let me know how it works out for you! I’m happy to be able to share this. I was very pleased with myself but had no one to tell haha. I actually have several copies of this set up with each Gluetun instance connected to different countries. Then, changing country is as easy as changing your tailnet exit node!

zzzzzz,

Awesome! You too.

zzzzzz,

ADL vice, ADL vice, every morning hypocrisy.

zzzzzz,

This seems to be a general theme. Those arguing loudest for better privacy are really saying “only we should be allowed to invade your privacy”. See: Google, Apple, the EU

Religious and superstitious beliefs should not be respected.

We’re in the 21st century, and the vast majority of us still believe in an utterly and obviously fictional creator deity. Plenty of people, even in developed countries with decent educational systems, still believe in ghosts or magic (e.g. voodoo). And I–an atheist and a skeptic–am told I need to respect these patently...

zzzzzz,

You believe you see things clearly, but, in fact, things are not so black and white. Believing that you know that God does not exist because you have no experience with him is faulty logic. In fact, it is a religious belief.

zzzzzz,

No, you’re religious because you are drawing conclusions that are not supported by evidence.

zzzzzz,

The burden of proof is on whoever is making a claim. You are making a claim (God does not exist). If you want to think logically, the correct conclusion, in the absence of proof, is “I don’t know”.

For example. Let’s say I have 100 opaque cups set upside down on a table and ask you the question “Is a ball under one of these cups?”. It would be logically inappropriate to conclude that there is not until you have looked under every cup. Even if you looked under 99 and found nothing, it would not be proper to extrapolate that there is no ball. Do you understand?

zzzzzz,

While in the womb, there was no evidence (that you could understand) of a world outside the womb.

But, it turns out, there is.

zzzzzz,

It is a question that occurs to all who are sufficiently curious. It is a corollary of the question “Why does anything exist?”.

zzzzzz,

Indeed

zzzzzz, (edited )

Sure. And, you’re free to leave the table. You have the freedom to decide the question is uninteresting or contrived or whatever and never think about it again. Others, however, think the question is interesting enough to pursue. Some of those people go on to report discovering evidence for God through first-hand experience. Those people might all be morons or delusional. The only way you have any chance of knowing for sure is to keep an open mind and try to find the evidence yourself. But, again, no one’s forcing you.

zzzzzz,

If you re-read what I wrote, you’ll find that I did not claim to know what anyone believes inside the womb.

zzzzzz,

The belief “there is no God” is not implied by the absence of evidence for God. The absence of evidence for something implies the belief “I do not know if the thing exists”. Atheism requires a logical mistep. It is unreasonable to jump from an absence of evidence to a claim on non-existence.

zzzzzz,

It turns out there is a world outside of the womb.

zzzzzz,

No, my claim is that you are religious for asserting that there definitely isn’t a ball while at the table.

zzzzzz,

I’m saying that we all have prior experience of transitioning from situations where we had no evidence for something into ones where we had definite evidence. The implication is that we should remain open rather than forcing conclusions of non-existence.

zzzzzz,

OK, then I don’t know my vocabulary. When I said “atheism” I was intending to refer to, for example, OP, who is making the definite claim that there is no God. But, a quick Google search shows that you are right about the definition. And, for those who have no personal experience of God, the absence of belief in God is reasonable.

zzzzzz,

You feel superior because you asked yourself that question and you came to your logical conclusion.

I haven’t even stated my conclusions. I am only trying to help y’all understand that it is not reasonable to jump from an absence of evidence to a conclusion of non-existence. It has nothing to do with me. It is a fact of formal logic.

zzzzzz,

But, you might, metaphorically speaking, encourage that baby to remain open-minded about the existence of an outside world as opposed to dismissing the possibility out-of-hand.

zzzzzz, (edited )

Am I religious if I say there isn’t a marble at the table? Or a walnut?

Yes.

A rational person would say “I don’t know if there is a ball, marble, or walnut”. If you have experience with other tables with upside-down cups, you might go further and say something like “If this table with cups is like the other tables with cups that I’ve experienced… (fill in whatever your experience re:balls, marbles, walnuts, etc)”. To say more requires a leap of faith.

And, unlike tables, cups, balls, and walnuts, the existence of the universe is apparently quite singular. Thus, if you haven’t had direct experience with it, it is unlikely that you’ll have had sufficient parallel experiences to make any meaningful statements like “If this universe is like the other universes I’ve characterized…”. Therefore, lacking any direct experience, the reasonable position would be “I don’t know”.

zzzzzz,

You’re missing the point. What makes your view “religious” (or, as someone else pointed out, perhaps “faith-based” would be the better term) is your definite rejection of things (a la “my claim is what you say is bull shit”). You could respond with “That could be. I don’t have any evidence to support or refute it”. That would be a rational position, in the absence of evidence. You, however, go further. You say it’s bullshit.

zzzzzz,

No, the rejection of the claim “God exists” leads to “I don’t know whether or not God exists”, not “God does not exists”. “God does not exist” is a claim in its own right.

As for your historical comment, perhaps it would be better to precede your claims with “As far as I understand…” to allow yourself room for growth in the future.

zzzzzz,

I don’t see Cryptomator in the comparison. Doesn’t it have a similar feature set?

a want to buy a tablet to take notes at school

Basically title, but I don’t want an iPad because of my “open source mindset” ik it sounds cringe but fr I hate Apple’s philosophy and I don’t want an iPhone to sync every shit. Also I’d like to have a tablet that doesn’t all my data to some big corporation (like Xiaomi or Google), and I don’t know where to start...

zzzzzz,

Consider the Remarkable 2. It is a little Linux computer that allows root access by SSH. It’s moddable, can markup pdfs, and is pleasant to write on. If you get one, just get the bare tablet from the manufacturer. Get a folio and pen from Amazon for way cheaper. Also, you can get $50 off with a referral code from someone who already has one.

zzzzzz,

I don’t think that’s fair. I’ve taken gun/hunting education classes from some volunteer instructors that seemed to me to be about the most serious, responsible people I’ve ever met.

zzzzzz,

That’s an absolutely absurd claim. The fraction of gun owners that ever shoot a human being is very close to zero.

Houston approves $5M to relocate residents living near polluted Union Pacific rail yard (apnews.com)

Residents and local officials have long blamed the high number of cancer cases on contamination from a rail yard originally owned by Southern Pacific and later bought by Union Pacific near two historically Black neighborhoods, Fifth Ward and Kashmere Gardens. The wood preservative creosote, which has been associated with an...

zzzzzz,

Yeah, but $5m sounds kind of low. That’ll buy, what, 10 homes?
