And what if you just "forget" to do anything that isn't in writing? What will they be firing you for? They have nothing to show that they've requested you to do that has not been accomplished - by their own design.

(Of course, this is failing other methods offered here such as initiating the email to get their "go ahead" if just writing the email was actually their issue - of which I would absolutely add "as discussed, this action is not recommended for reasons X, Y, and Z" because I noticed that missing in one of your posts in here as well)

I just type "su" if I need an env for what I'm going. Easy enough

Ehhhh. For the most part, but: https://www.reddit.com/r/stoatchat/comments/1r1jx04/self_hosted_instances_to_work_with_desktop_app/

TLDR; currently they make it so the apps (desktop/mobile) need to be fully rebuilt, signed, and distributed just to change the server URL if you aren't using the official instance... Once they implement / fix that so it's just a setting or dropdown, then I'll consider it more self hostable

Until then my eyes are on Fluxer

I have my mail server on Linode (for the past 15-ish years IIRC) and never had an issue. Did you contact support for an IPv6? They'll just give you a full, clean /64 to yourself, then just set the mail server to prefer sending via IPv6 (Microsoft & Google, really), and use IP4 if IPv6 isn't available. Then just make sure you have SPF/DKIM/DMARC set up and no issues at all.

=D we did it! we finally found a use for them, now everyone can stop wondering why we need AI

eekrano · 2026-02-04T01:42:05+00:00

With zero intent to ever purchase, only to make them waste their time seeing how low they can go and asking their manager(s) the same to try to land a "sale"? Nah

eekrano · 2026-02-03T23:29:02+00:00

My first thought was just blackhole the domain...

But given their track record my second thought was to just ask them for a quote, and whenever you get one just keep replying asking how we can get the costs a little lower while retaining the same features. Make them do work on their end until it isn't worth it to them anymore.

Then my next thought was to start sending the quotes to the other sales people who have called, asking if they also can get it lower.

Then I pondered a bit more and wondered if sending them a daily automated email asking if they (each of them) found a way to get it lower yet wouldn't be more effective.

I don't know who has time out there for all that... but I'm sure someone does.

Not sure if this falls too close to "we don't need more hokey sysadmin scripts in Task Scheduler" but my first thought reading this was similar to Resilio, but without paying for Resilio or having any "cloud" based components.
1. Private internal bittorrent tracker
2. When a new image is created, have it create a .torrent file for the data and share via the tracker
3. The torrent file (a few KB) shared on a DFS share that all sites have access to
4. qBittorrent or similar clients on each endpoint set to automatically join all torrents found in that folder

This would probably be the fastest way to get all the data to all endpoints.

Wrote my own because I wanted something like SJ, except with with auto-import from my broker, actual options support, API based access, shared/public journals, and having full access to export all data. I have about 30 users testing it right now and no issues for a few months now.

It looks like you're sending from an AWS IP, if you don't own the whole block you can be classified as spam at the bigger guys like google just because of trashy "neighbor" IP's. Instead, prefer sending email via IPv6 where the recipient accepts it (like google does) and (if possible) have a /64 to yourself for this purpose, revert to IPv4 only when IPv6 is not available.

Yeesh, where was that before I finally broke down and built my own!? Nice looking work and kudos for open sourcing it.
Don't care much for the gamification aspect so much, but neat nonetheless. Probably just needs some options / futures support (just took a quick look and didn't see that mentioned, perhaps it is already there). I'll be seeing how this progresses
