In all the many years I've run a mail server, I've not had a problem. I send mail, I receive mail. All good. But it bothers me that this one particular service, of all the many services that I run, is the one most prone to failing because of a decision by one of two companies.

Today's #FreeSoftwareAdvent is LibreOffice, the amazing free office suit (document editor, spreadsheet, presentation tool, etc).

I have reseated the RAM. I have switched DIMMs. I have swapped sockets. It turns out that the machine I opened, and the machine into which I am ssh'd, are not the same machine.

Good morning, and welcome to Wednesday.

SyncThing Android users! I am struggling to work out what has actually happened (as opposed to what is alleged or speculated to have happened), but there appears to be concern about a change in control of the SyncThing Android GitHub repo:
