An SMTP relay could make a copy of your emails before they even reach your inbox. Lack of TLS support on the sender side and the context goes clear text through relays. Encryption remains the best way to guarantee against eavesdropping.
At some point when the number of boxes and number of cronjobs become too high, I suggest looking at Rundeck as a central scheduler (not affiliated with PagerDuty, I actually work for a competiting company) or something similar.
Also, you want to make sure your job has been running. I've used a selfhosted instance of healthchecks.io in order to warn me if something has not run.
I live in the French speaking part of Belgium and have configured all my devices in English for the past 15+ years.
Apparently Google consider that if you are geo IP located in Belgium with your devices in English, you _have to be_ a Dutch speaker. While I would agree that French speaking Belgians are in majority using French UIs, there are exceptions. Please respect my browser settings!
The solution? I have to put French in my browser accepted languages (not necessarily first) and then Google understand I'm not a Dutch speaker and will stick to English.
I see Fastmail as the good guys. Why are they targeted like that lately? If the attackers think that I'm going to move back to Gmail, they are wrong. I'm with you, Fastmail team.
Firefox has been using Google's safe search since version 6. So unless you disable or block it, Google knows about your whereabouts, even if you used Bing.
I bought my first computer in April 1996. I learned a lot about network thanks to BO. I remember always being cautious about client vs server but I managed not to infect myself. Fun times. Thank you, sir.
I've used vaultwarden (formerly bitwarden_rs) for probably 2 years now. The author keeps up with the upstream quite well. It's written in rust and uses SQLite, which makes it lightweight and appropriate for a single user setup. It's so good it even passed the WAF test.
The author of firefly claims to do double entry but it's just not true. I quickly gave up when I realized that I could not input a refund on my credit card account. It doesn't allow positive transactions. The only suggested workaround by the author himself was to edit the original transaction. Firefly is probably useful for many people but to me it was too opinionated and not natural to use. I moved to Gnucash.
Great Linux support on the laptops thanks to Red Hat collaboration? I work for Red Hat and the t490s and t14s have had their fair share of compatibility issues. When released the t14s was freezing daily for many colleagues. The thunderbolt dock support is abysmal, our IT support is overwhelmed with request and random issues. My docking (hosting HDMI, one usb switch with mouse, keyboard, webcam and headset) has always worked perfectly on my t480s but acts up on the t14s up to the point IT told me they ran out of idea and just suggest an exchange.
I agree when the laptop gets to the second hand market, rough edges have been smoothened and Linux support is above competition. On release day? It's not perfect.
