Is this at a webserver level?

I’ve only ever been told that perl is a write-only language :D

I realise this is an older thread, but it could be caused by deleted files not being released by the application - a reboot or killing said application would help. Can be checked with

sudo lsof | grep deleted

It can also just be corrupt metadata about a file where a small file is seen as taking up some ludicrous amount of storage. This thought was triggered by you mentioning the thuderbird sent directory. Inspect the files there.

Use this.

The short of it, I’d say, is “it’s whatever you make it to be”.

I’d suggest sticking esp on /boot for now as it should be a fairly widely accepted default. You can always rework it later.

Huh, TIL that’s still possible. Wasn’t in my case at the time.

I run my email server, but not at home. Running it at home is not all all more difficult, but it will only work for internal traffic and inbound from the internet. Residential IPs are simply blacklisted by ISP and as such - nothing will reach external recipients. Still useful, but is limited.

To have your smtp reach everyone globally you need to run it on a business IP. I use Linode, has worked very well since the setup in 2019, although they did get acquired by Akamai, which might become an issue at some point.

This is such an incredible write up of something I’ve never even considered to exist. Thank you!

I’d love to have things like that in a form of a post at !graybeard@lemmy.cafe

That plus pilots’ mics.

Network? That’s a small bit. DB is struggling with IO at times, but network usage is fairly low, at least on my end.

Much appreciated!

Any explanation for the mathematically challenged?

Someone has to do the maths on the best possible nutrient, water and solar energy ratios required by pumpkins. Maybe pumpkins win!

I think you’re missing the point of what I’m saying. Unfortunately, words are difficult enough to produce for me, I don’t have a better way to express it.

Only answering your last paragraph. You will not, ever, find a 1:1 equivalent for a few reasons, but mostly because:

• Windows quircks do not have to be accomodated in Linux distros
• Microsoft has very much encouraged massive software where everything is done in a single application, whereas in UNIX world the philosophy is to do one thing and do it well.
• Not sure how DFS works, but with the myriad of networked filesystems available I’m sure there’s an exact requirement match.

Users can be centrally managed in a myriad of ways, but the most used software seems to be following the same X.500 standard - OpenLDAP, FreeIPA, etc.

Machines can be centrally managed via Puppet, Chef, etc.

Company software is managed by having your own repo.

SELinux can be used for incredibly granular access controls, but I can’t see most companies actually needing that.

To sum it up - you’ll always have trouble if you’re solving a windows problem in linux and vice versa. Just for a moment, try imagining a situation where you want to switch a 100% linux company to windows.

What I look like*.

Gentoo/Arch guy checking in. It’s more about having fewer codepaths to go wrong after some update. At least in my case.

Ah. I was going for The Wire.

Is this from The Greatest TV Show Of All Time?
