It works just fine! Setting it up was relatively easy, too.

I had a few snags, but I documented everything here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services:fittrackee

So, overall its mature enough for daily usage but:

• FitTrackee only support gpx based activities so your indoor swimming or indoor bike will not be imported
• Garmin link seems to be working only for one user, I didn't investigate, but its not clear how to sync more than one user. Which is weird since fittrackee itself is multi-user.

I hope the devs keep up the great work and those limitations will be removed.

Man, at 55 I will be still running ironman's... Hopefully. And trails. Let's keep arthritis for the 70's, shall we?

Well, only "real" modems... Those amazing piece of crap that offloaded hardware to the windows driver where... Questionable.

And they started appearing around windows 95/98.

Ah, Linux from scratch...

Also, hardware was... Harder back then, on Linux (mostly modems).

Beside that, software wise there was less stuff on Linux than today, so you had to check carefully you had what you needed.

But I was already a Linux user, and a linux-only user at that.

I honestly like them. Those that "stay open", of course... They just stay out of the way, never get lost, and works pretty nice.

At first I disliked them, but quickly found out they are actually... Very practical. Even not considering the "green" twist, why didn't we adopted them before?

Last few years we have been booking vacations when we have big race events, to put 1 and 1 together and save money. So 1 year in advance (that's when ironmans registrations opens up).

Back when we where only traveling, usually from Feb/march for august. Go get best deals and low tickets.

We need to teach people, like in school, the basics of nutrition.

That will go a long way.

Agreed and big thumbs up for Gentoo. Our distro never gets enough love!

I want to go directly to the source, i mean, if i want to resolve, for example www.polito.it, i want to ask "it", then "polito.it"... This is what Unbound should be doing.

Instead, i can resolve it:

    
server /etc # dig it @127.0.0.1

; <<>> DiG 9.16.48 <<>> it @127.0.0.1
;; global options: +cmd

Instead i cannot resolve polito.it:

    
server /etc # dig polito.it @127.0.0.1

; <<>> DiG 9.16.48 <<>> polito.it @127.0.0.1

Nothing appears in the logs. It resolve fine using 8.8.8.8 as upstream DNS.

I have followed this guide, but still no way. "it" is resolved, but "polito.it" does not resolve, for example.

Yes!

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.

This looks very cool, will definitely give it a try. Thank you

I started with an ancient redhat, moved to Linux From Scratches, landed in Gentoo 25+ years ago and never hopped anywere else since...

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.

Ffmpeg guys, ffmpeg first king... And VLC golden second.
