was using it for years, but not anymore..
too much disk i/o, too many files, `git gc` never ran (only by hand),
and it never really came handy during those years...

maybe storing etckeeper repo it in a different backup disk makes more
sense, but anyway..., backups, backups, backups. :)

you probably mean clipboard manager(?)...
i'm using parcellite mainly for that. gtk based, but also ran it in LXQT
without issues iirc...

curious here too, unbound has always been considered somewhat secure.
there's also an recent independent security audit (link from unbound
site), so this would be interesting to know, please share.. :)

using bind mainly as authoritative in servers, although it seems really
heavy and tbh don't like the fact that bind's almost a monopoly...
also heard nice things about knot - will probably give it a try sometime
soon...

anyway, using almost exclusively unbound in pcs, as local caching dns..
seems to me lighter/easier to configure than dnsmasq.
and iirc, most linux distros have moved to unbound as well..

You're wrong, unbound worked and still works fine without systemd.

not really...
15-20 years ago while working for a bank edp/it dpt, PGP was required
almost for half the email volume. so it was/is not just a geeky thing,
industry used it also.. using it back then with locked down corp
outlook+pgp plugin.. i guess these days is even more broadly used in
that sector.. (to hide their scam mostly :D )
lately even public sector required pgp encrypted emails for some
transactions.
also, lots of activists (since pre-snowden era) required GPG for
internal coms + OTR for chats... Thunderbird+enigmail was/is the
easier/free way for non-techy people to setup gpg.. lots of guides
around, w/ https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org being most commonly known...
(TB78 broke this..)

so, maybe these are not the majority of email users, but certainly gpg
is not exclusively used by a few geeks...
just take a look at keyservers stats..: there's a few million keys
already... and those are just a fraction of keys since not everyone
uploads their keys..

from my experience, evolution can be a complete replacement for
thunderbird as groupware... caldav/carddav/pgp are included by default.
currently i use tbsync & other extensions in TB to sync with own
nextcloud.. (only filelink extension isn't available in evolution)

still recommending TB to clients/people though... cross OS
compatibility and extremely simple moving/backing up TB profiles
between systems being the main reason, and autoconfig accounts when
supported by server, another... (like outlook does...).

Re: [DNG] Dng Digest, Vol 62, Issue 27

2019-11-27 Thread Dimitris T. via Dng
People who use digest mode usually don't  care to participate to discussions.. 
They just want "briefing".. so why bother with people habbits and not 
concentrate on the project?
tbh, i find this conversation distracting. Maybe submitting a wishlist(?) bug 
in mailing list projects is more appropriate in this case..

Just 2c.
