Hi, it's Kathy here from Mycroft.AI. Happy to answer any questions you might have about our hardware and software. We are actively developing, and releasing updated versions every fortnight - and each version keeps getting better and better. Of course, we don't have the resources of a Google or an Amazon behind us, but for a small open source player we think we're doing pretty well.

We do have a Mycroft image for RPi, and you can find it here: https://mycroft.ai/get-mycroft/

We're also going to be partnering with Mozilla Deep Speech to leverage their Speech to Text, and we have an open Skills Development framework. OAuth will be released shortly so that developers can connect third party APIs that rely on OAuth into Mycroft.

Sing out if I can provide further information. Best, Kathy

There's also a Github page if you want more information about it.

I've just used it to auto-generate all the non-english locale strings for the .desktop files - used for my Gentoo Wine packages...

It's an amazing powerful / useful utility :-)

Depending the volume of mail you are talking about you could spin up a VPS service like Digital Ocean or OVH and using that to deploy a mailserver to it.

An example of how to do it on Digital Ocean is HERE (needs updating to 18.04)

Or there are a few Docker solutions out there too.

Example

It is often not recommended to run you own mail server because you have to deal with people trying to abuse it but the truth is if you do your homework and use the tools available to prevent abuse you should be ok.

Of course scalability is an issue here. So; f you are server more than say 5 domains or a 1000 users you're better off letting someone else manage that headache. If it is just you email I'd say go for it.

That ZeroPhone looks promising. We know that it's been done in the past with a normal sized raspberry pi :

I also prefer the tactile button approach. At $50 it's a low ri$k venture.

I recently switched to Sway, the process of which cascaded into running as much as possible on my machine through Wayland. I compiled everything I discovered and configured into this guide.

To give you a sample, the following are now running completely through Wayland on my machine: Sway itself, Waybar, the Wofi app launcher, browsers (and screen sharing), Emacs, all GTK apps, and most QT apps. I worked through some gotchas with Steam and Input Methods too. Overall things are much "snappier" and I'm quite happy with the result!

Please enjoy the guide, and do let me know if you notice any issues. Cheers!

Chris one of the things that you mentioned was that a lot of Mac power users tend to have a ton of icons there's actually an application specifically that allows you to hide them that's called bartender https://www.macbartender.com it's decently powerful and when I have to use mac I have it installed for just that purpose.

/u/chrislas have you ever heard of bitchute? Its a peer to peer alternative to youtube. You can also connect your youtube account to it so when you post to it is also posted to bitchute.

I'd add Artha and eSpeak to that list. Artha is a fantastic English thesaurus with hotkey support for quick access in other programs. eSpeak is great for having your writing read back to you.

> If someone could Snap Artha that'd be cool. Most distributions have it in their repositories but some wont package it because it hasn't been updated in awhile.

Yeah cockpit is available on a few distros. It is even available on RHEL 7 / CentOS 7.

Since cockpit has its own pam module, you can setup two-factor auth as well.

Cockpit is pretty awesome.
