Do you selfhost your own email?

If yes, please share your software setup.

Boost is very appreciated.

#Email #Postfix #Dovecot #Thunderbird #Mailcow #IRedMail #Mailinabox #Yunohost #Selfhosting

@ademalsasa not my everyday mail, but for servers' I use YUNoHost

Hello @albi very nice. Several persons already stated they use Yunohost for email here. Thanks!

@ademalsasa

Yes I do, but if course, as always, and as it should be, success the dawn of time. I still like Sendmail too - old habits die hard eh?

Not into that fact schmancy stuff, so even on Skackware we've moved to Postfix and Dovecot which is good. Better than Exim, which I got into for a while in the early 2000's, but why back to either Sendmail or Postfix (which is really a dream!).

But I'm not just a Slacker, I'm also a Debiantard, and lazy, so here's what I do, forget all that moo cow mail stuff, even though it's really nice. Just keep it simple and powerful with one quick script...

### Here's my Debian based #MTA bundles:

https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/emailwiz

### Here's my #MUA setups:

* Android: #FairEmail from devs git repo or F-Droid

* #Skackware: Thunderbird, #Pine, or Mutt, depending on my mood or mailbox.

* #Debian: #Thunderbird or Pine, depending

* #OpenBSD: #Mutt

### PubNIXes

* #SDF: Pine (yes, I know, I alias #Alpine lolz)

* tilde: Mutt

### Other stuffs

I've been using #OfflineIMAP for about 20 years for many if my accounts it makes syncing between MUAs a seamless dream - but it's showing its age and is Python 2 so...

I'll be moving here when I feel I can trust it:

https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/imapfw

I hope that helps!

What do you think about Revolt and FOSScord?

They are both new free libre open source Discord software alternatives in early stage of development.

Boosts are very appreciated.

#FreeSoftware #Discord #Alternatives #OpenSource

@ademalsasa @lightweight Hmm, I don’t want FOSS Discord, because I don’t want to engage in a platform that is completely controlled by a private corporation which happens to have total access to all user data & conversations. Decentralized, federated platforms are pretty much my base-level expectation today, and preferably supporting (or even requiring) E2EE.

What FOSS games do you play?

Please share yours for example #SuperTuxKart.

Do you still use Usenet Newsgroups?

Please share your recommended #computer related newsgroups. Boost is very appreciated.

#Usenet #Newsgroup #Email

@ademalsasa mostly gmane though

@ademalsasa can’t vote w/my client, but I’ll say that I quit #Usenet just a few yrs ago when #Mixmaster was dropped from #Debian. That’s the only reason I’m off usenet otherwise I would still be using it.

Olive
https://www.olivevideoeditor.org/

@ademalsasa I've used Blender & Kdenlive and so far the experience is top notch 😎

@ademalsasa Do you prefer any of these over others (for specific purposes?)?

I've used Kdenlive and Blender a tiny bit for super light editing, Natron's docs where nonexistant, didn't like Openshot iirc. Isn't Ubuntu Studio a distro and not a video editor? Or does it have one?

@ademalsasa Uh, Cinelerra sounds pretty neat (cept for the name ...).

@masi thank you very much for mentioning Olive, my friend!

So there are two friends who use a combo of Blender + Kdenlive today, @jfml and @pichan. Thanks for sharing. I hope I could see some screenshots of your hard work.

@jfml I currently prefer OpenShot as my needs are just very simple. So is LibreAV not a video editor but a community of people. I mentioned them for people to research further and find your friends in multimedia.

@jfml at first, I also could not appreciate Cinelerra, but once one friend told me it is the best video editor of both free software and GNU/Linux worlds, I understood it. Also, it's the oldest of all video editors we had now under free licenses.

@ademalsasa @pichan I do really really only do "super light" video editing, mostly either rendering a video from a sequence of images or extracting a clip from a longer video ^__^
