  1. No not really. Currently i drive mailcow self hosted with the intigrated sogo client. I created my own janky dark mode theme for it and it still does not really support multi account very well in my opinion.
  2. Why wait That is still missing my wifes pc and everything will _eventually_ be put into a small server rack
  3. Hey there, I just moved into a new place and i always liked the idea to put my server/pc/nas/everything into another room and connect via cables. So i did. This post will be rant/display/guide for others that want to try this. But TLDR; its nice but a lot of hassle. Firstly in contrast to linus route with Thunderbold, i have gone a different route and used AOC USB3.1Gen2 and AOC DP 2.0 cables for each workplace. I have a lot of different pcs/laptops for my wife and me and in addition i also wanted to run my index over the AOC so thunderbold was not the best solution for this. As i wanted to (careful bad word) Futureproof as best as possible, i used the USB3.1Gen2 AOC cables from ActiveOpticalCable.com and the brand new released DP 2.0 AOC (FX-I260-015) cables from the german manufacture PureLink. I validated all cables i got (which was for the best as 1 USB cable came DOA) with my PC aswell as with the Vive Index I planned to use. All work fine. Next thing is that i use 3x 4k monitors and i dont want to lay 3 seperate DP cables so a Splitter has to be used that can handle this. Even DP 1.4 can handle 2x 4k 60fps + 1x 4k 90fps with MST which is great as there are not that many (none) DP2.0 splitters out there yet, so after trying all splitters i can get my hand on, i landed on the "Bolaazul Displayport 1.4 MST hub Splitter" which does the job, fine. Next issue is that both end of the AOC are male ports and the connector for the vive is also male. For that i used the "DeLOCK 65374" Gender Adapter. For USB i think just any hub, aslong as it is powered externally would be fine but i used the "ORICO USB C Hub, 7 Port USB C Hub, 10 Gbps" to get the full bandwidth. If you want to build something similar, be aware that there are many AOC out there that are _not_ USB 2.0 downward compatible which will be a HUGE pain because most keyboards and other peripherals only use USB 2.0. Just because an cable says it is USB 3.X does not necessary means, they also support USB 2.0 as this requires _seperate_ wires inside a cable!.</rant> Firstly as i did this in germany where walls are actually brick and stone, i had to cut some canals into the walls: Unfortunately i had some bad luck with the "professional" i hired to make the wall cuts and they butchered my wall quite a bit. But in the next step i added the tubing to house the actual fiber cables. All cables end at the same room, where i will put all (electronics) stuff into: Also for good measure I added CAT7 lan lines to all outputs aswell as a central point for an Wifi AP. Additionally, keep in mind and do not make the same mistake: The standard tubing you get is 25mm in outer diameter and 17,5mm inner. _THAT IS NOT ENOUGH FOR THE CONNECTORS!_ i made this mistake and had to cut all tubes to setup the cables inside. That means, this is a one-time installation as i cannot pull any cables though again as the connectors do not fit inside the tube. F. By today, i can access my pc from my wall i intend to cover with a 3d printed panel. I am still yet to connect the index in the livingroom and my wifes workplace but as a proof of concept this works great :-D. Total cost: - 5x AOC USB 3.1 Gen2: 1400$ - 8x AOC DisplayPort 2.0: 1333€ - 150meter CAT7 Lan + RJ45 adapters: 250€ - Electrician for wall cuts and laying cables: (TBA) - Painter to fill the cuts and paint: 1700€ - 3x Displayport 1.4 Splitter: 250€ - 3x USB Hub + M2M adapter: 150€ = 5.000€ I expected it to be much less but due to the butchering of my walls, a lot of damage had to be repaired. Thanks for your time.
  4. On LTTs Framework update , the sponsor is ugreen with the 9-in-1 USB C Docking Station and it looks very nice and quite what i was looking for (planning building something similar what linus has with remote workstations over fiber) and although very informative, there is a lot of confusion for me as the dock just states "USB-C" as input. But what standard? Is it USB4? Is it Thunderbold 3? 4? what exactly does that dock need to allow all inputs to be active?
  5. And you think that this would be payed by the actual hacker? nope stolen CC 100%
  6. So much for "We maybe dont need a backup, if we need it we just pull it from YouTube again"
  7. Hey, With the latest WAN show topic of Outlook vs GMail i wanted to seek a bit of help/provide a list of mail webclients I tested as an outlook replacement over the last years or so. I aim this to be a list for others that want to move to a self-hosted alternative and for me that did not find the "right" solution yet to ask for help. I will try to add my personal take on each one of them and what ultimately made me decide against it. - Cypht Not quite up to standard for me with the UI style. does support multiple accounts. Does have a Docker image but is not updated in over a year. The last official release is over a year ago and bugs are not regularly fixed/responded to. - Horde: IMP - The Horde Project Looks very old school. does support multiple accounts. Does not have a Docker image. - Isotope Mail: https://blog.marcnuri.com/isotope-mail-client-introduction/ Looks decent (style is aligned to gmail). 'does' support multiple accounts but not in one aggregated inbox. No Rules management. No Contacts view. No Calender View. - mailpile: Mailpile: e-mail that protects your privacy A bit cartoonish UI but overall ok. Good number of options to tinker with. Plugin support (own ecosystem). TLS & GnuPG support. Does have planned multi account support. No docker image. According to author not production ready. - roundcube: Roundcube - Free and Open Source Webmail Software Great UI for someone that comes from outlook web. Plugin Support (own ecosystem). Established mail UI. PGP support. Does have a Docker image. Does not support multiple accounts, however with a plugin switching between accounts is possible. - Rainloop: RainLoop Webmail A bit outdated UI. Does support Contacts management. No Docker image. Multi account is supported but not on same browser Tab. No Rules management. - snappymail: SnappyMail, your webmail client - SnappyMail Fork of Rainloop that adds some minor features. - squirrelmail: SquirrelMail - Webmail for Nuts! Just awful UI. No active development. No Docker Image. - SOGo: SOGo | Open Source Groupware Good UI. Does have a lot of adaptation. Contacts management. Calendar Mangement. Does have 3rd party Docker images. Does have rules management. Does have "aggregated" multi account support, although i found it very buggy. No Pgp Support. Could not get IMAP integration to work with outlook.com. Closest i can get to my needs. - AfterLogic Webmail Lite: Afterlogic WebMail Lite PHP OKish UI. PGP Support. Two Factor Auth support. Contact management. Rules management. Good browser Document Viewer. Multi account support behind a paywall. - libremail: mikegioia/libremail (github.com) Good UI. Way to complicated/complex to setup for me to really try out / no docker image. Not Production ready. Im my opinion SOGo and AfterLogic were both closest to be usable for my usecase. However, i would like to hear any alternatives.
  8. Hey, I am currently planning to create a small server with my NUC11 and a 3080. I aim for 2 people to work of it and have some docker containers running of it. But I also want the containers to have GPU accelleration (jellyfin) and need to have low latency from both windows VMs for Parsec use. I tried two solutions: A: HyperV Host: Windows 11 Pro Virtualization: Hyper-V VMs: 1. WSL2 - for docker container use 2. Windows - Games 3. Windows - Development Premise: The GPU-P feature from jamesstringerparsec/Easy-GPU-PV: A Project dedicated to making GPU Partitioning on Windows easier! (github.com) is working great, but although there are claims that GPU-P should also work with Linux guests, I could not find any way to make it work. B: Proxmox Host: Linux Ubuntu Virtualization: Proxmox (KVM) VMs: 1. Linux Ubuntu Premise: There are some scripts, also very good tutorial from Craft-Computing regarding this, however the essential DualCoder/vgpu_unlock: Unlock vGPU functionality for consumer grade GPUs. (github.com) script does not support Ampere and reading into it, never will. Same goes for the IGpu in the Nuc, it seems like all versions right up to 11th gen support IGpu partitioning but not 11th gen. I would preferer to go with a Linux host and have 1 Linux guest and 2 Windows guests but if anyone has some ideas how to continue I would greatly appreciate it.
  9. Summary Today (23.09.2021) the European Kommision will propose a law that forces all manufactures of Cellphones, Tablets, Cameras, Headphones and gaming consoles to use the USB-C standard for charging. The proposal aims to help consumers to reduce waste and also includes a section that forces all manufactures to exclude chargers for all products. It aims to reduce electronic waste by 980Tonnes pa. My thoughts This has been long overdue and I hate to see devices that still use mirco usb.

  10. Ok now you made me lookup the exact law regarding Hehlerei (buying and selling of stolen goods). In fact the german law states that if you buy something online from a privat person, even when its an auction, you dont "have" to assume it was stolen by only taking the price into account (LG Karlsruhe vom 28.09.2007, Az.: Ns 84 Js 5040/07 – 18 AK 136/07) As i said, the keys were in fact not stolen (this is clearly stated by the article source) but brought (from sites like alibaba). I researched a bit more and found another article that states that the German agencies mainly targets commercial resellers who bought larger numbers of keys from Lizengo and tried to resell them commercially. The large number of charges seem to be an "catch all" attempt by the law agencies. In that context the whole operation does make a lot more sense now^^
  11. Ok but that is not the case in germany AFAIK. If there is no sign that you are buying a stolen good you cannot held liable. But back to topic: The keys are not in fact Stolen or brought with stolen credit cards or something like that, they are Legal, Original keys. But not where they were used in germany. The whole case rests on the fact that although the keys are legal, users in german do not process a license through the act of buying the key. Much the same as buying a Russian Steam key for 2$ from steam in russia and using it to activate a game on your US steam account were the game would have been costing 20$.
  12. You are a private person, maybe you are in need of money its cheep yes? but it is my personal bad luck if it was stolen and i will have it taken from me. Let me put it this way: That would fit the situation i guess^^
