Kubernetes and co do not reduce the amount of work - it’s just shifted to the next abstraction layer. Before when DevOps meant „you build it - you run it“ we removed dedicated ops …

I'm running my own mail server for a couple of years now. I'm using postfix and dovecot. I have SPF and DKIM set up and I'm using spamassassin, roundcube. Setting up a working mail…

Yes - I was thinking about the outsourcing part as I have friend who did exactly that and again without the record label in between. If you don't have good connections though its h…

Also be sure to set the date including timezone offset. On OSX run sudo -k, open date and time prefs. Set date to 1970-01-01 00:00:00 including timezone offset (+1 for CET) then ru…
