The biggest issue you will likely encounter is having clean IP addresses to send from. If you have that problem solved, the next hurdle will be realizing that Stalwart is more than you would need to manage sending daily emails. If you have the IP addresses, you could just use a script that grabs email addresses to send to for the day, and ship them with a fairly straightforward SMTP daemon (sendmail) installation on a VPS.

Stalwart might be a good use case for your business/employee mail account handling, however.

Let me add these types of users rarely think about sponsoring such ‘important’ projects that they seem to not be able to live happily without.

It’s called open source entitlement. The kind of people who fill up your issues and don’t push PRs and only donate with their melodramatic keyboard.

And one time I tried to install MS Office on my OpenBSD server. Can you guess what happened?

Since then I only use Ed even though I prefer MS Office. What was your point again?

I edited my comment before you hit post, but I’ll still reply to LOL at that. Think about what you just said for a sec. Then blame that on a python2.

This is such an odd and entitled take for a person who is really trying hard not to care about python.

FYI my rooster fucks his hens, the bull covers his coos, and well, my horses are gelded so there’s that… you might just be farming wrong.

Pretty much everyone eating well and having a good time.

Sigh.

Instilling doubt or question in something is often more practical in effecting change than immediately announcing every facet of your argument. Sometimes it’s more practical to coerce change by presenting an opportunity to question an assumed assumption.

Maybe someone will see my comment and start down their own rabbit hole to find a conclusion. That is more ideal than immediately assuming the details of my personal assumptions and conclusions.

Why does McDonald’s own so much prime real estate? Kind of a misguided question imo.

> Personally, I'm very positive about IPv6. I find a lot to like in the protocol

Please expand on this (besides ‘wow such large numbers’…). I’ll take my answer off the air.

Serious question: why would I want to purchase this as a poster?

Asking as a nerd, but maybe not a very specific data oriented nerd.

Weed lasers would be a welcomed implement. In my county they estimate a large percentage of the viable agricultural output is lost due to foreign and domestic invasive plants overtaking grazing and cultivated land. You have to work really hard to feel like you are breaking even if you are not willing to nuke with 2-4D every spring and fall.

Some plants (even native/noninvasives. looking at you Lupine…) cause serious harm directly to livestock, or reduce the carry ability of the pastures (mustards, St. John’s wort) to get livestock to late fall without eating the hay you cut in the summer that might have a cluster of hoary alyssum which will make your horses sick. Some, you may just have to make your peace with (Canadian thistle).

Plants are scary.

>Slippery slope is no longer a fallacy, I guess.

It is validly one of the 15 logical fallacies used to illustrate parts of arguments.

Be specific. What was specifically noteworthy about this that you want to see reported and known to the world. Don’t make up an imaginary scenario of deep dark government suppression of religion. Or use a real example. Dicks. Dicks were censored.
