As someone who's been longboarding for years (including commute), I would be interested in something that: * Would let me ride normally, without using the motor at all (e.g. gear i…

Plus the blackmail opportunities spying affords.

With sufficient level of access, it should be possible to erase trails and to create false ones.

How far does this go for you? If, let's say, you witness wrongdoing performed by your employer, would you go along because, well, you promised to do a good job when you interviewed…

Didn't he also say somewhere that we'll be reading about him in history books?

Good to hear that Dovecot scales. I personally went with Cyrus because at the time I was picking an IMAP server, Cyrus was already a well tested solution known to scale. As I recal…

Another satisfied Cyrus IMAP user here. :-) I've heard nice things about Dovecot too, though.

> never put postfix's spool and dovecot's storage on the same physical device and I/O controller. /var/log must live on the separate device too. This probably depends on the mail v…

I've personally not found this difficult. Unless perhaps you're dealing very large volumes of mail and overhead of SpamAssassin is an issue. Mail volume in 10s of thousands/day on …

I'm curious, why run 4 disks in RAID6 instead of RAID10? You loose two disks worth of capacity to RAID in either case, but with RAID6 there's also parity overhead, slower recovery,…

I beg to differ.

I do as well. That also opens up other possibilities like the ability to just drag and drop an email between IMAP accounts. The other day I was getting smtp errors from Google, so …

We use Postini at work and it is terrible. Normal Gmail filters are much better. I hear Google is replacing Postini with something they developed themselves.

I couldn't imagine not filtering my mail. I hate seeing spam too much. To a point where minimizing it is an obsession. I spent a considerable amount of time on this about 10 years …

I may be wrong, but I believe IMAP, the protocol, just defines how IMAP clients/servers should issue and respond to search commands, but doesn't deal with mail indexing and things …

Weird, I have exactly the opposite experience with spam -- my self hosted setup does better than gmail. Wrote this a while back, but still holds true: https://news.ycombinator.com/…

> Your friends and coworkers describe you as an "animal." That made me laugh so hard. Sounds like a borderline HR issue. :-)

A lot of people do prefer OSX. Between OSX and Windows, I'd choose OSX in a heartbeat because cygwin wasn't so great when I tried it a while back. I did try OSX for a while, and wa…
