I use Plex’s download feature to make sure I always have music available. The same could be done for other media but I don’t bother.

My Plex server runs in my home and all my media is available outside my home. A travel server seems like a solution for a problem that doesn’t really exist.

Scorpions were my first concert back in 1981. Iron Maiden opened. Spectacular evening.

This was a great read. Thank you!

Very very aware.

So you had another mail server elsewhere that port forwarded port 25 via port 22 to your internal mail server’s port 25.

I take it that outside mail server was secure.

That’s an impressive setup.

Did you really only use it when you were home? If you used it outside the firewall then port 25 must have been open also.

I used to run my own server and this was in the early 90s. Then one day, perusing the logs I realized I was not smart enough on the security front to even attempt such a thing. It was quickly shut down and the MX record moved to an outsourced mail provider.

I’ve been on my project for 23 years. I haven’t written production code for ten of those years. There are still commits in the production branch with my name on them. Is both gratifying and mortifying.

I was talking with two other “old-timers” today about our inability to pay off tech debt because our teams are never given the time to do it

I was the first Red Hat Certified Engineer in the state of Oregon.

This relationship can be saved as long as the guy’s wife does not start expressing an interest in Emacs. That would, of course, put an end to the relationship, but if she’s one of those “Notepad is all I need” types, there is hope this can be worked through.

Really well done!

I’ve always found the python docs to be very complete.

Thank you. I love Rider, but rely on VSCode for Python. I regularly contemplate making the jump though.

Does PyCharm have remote editing? It’s a VSCode feature I just could not live without.

I’d absolutely use a text file, one entry per line. Once you need to start associating other information with those strings, it becomes time for JSON or similar.

How many? I probably wouldn’t even bother with JSON, just one string per line in a text file.

This is a great tutorial. Thank you.
