  • IMAP is the protocol you probably want.

    I’m quite happy with “Mail In A Box” as a platform for hosting mail locally with clients.

    There are companies that will do inbound spam filtering and outbound mail relaying to ensure high reputation for outgoing main also. I have clients on duocircle but they’re grandfathered in on reasonably priced plans (the new plans are probably a little expensive for self hosted home mail)




  • For all we lack in privacy legislation and any kind of actually permitted free speech in Australia, the ACCC is a little gem and has been pretty damn amazing at holding the line against massive corporate interests.

    They are the reason that, in Australia:

    1. DVD/Blueray region zoning was banned, requiring all players in Australia being in “zone 0” and allowed to play discs from anywhere
    2. We have a ban on locking a mobile phone to a carrier
    3. We have a consumer guarantee law that requires a warranty period commensurate with the price of the item (so a $1500 iPhone can’t limit warranty to 12 months), and the ability to choose to have the retailer or the manufacturer honour that warranty (meaning shops can’t just say: “contact the manufacturer not us!”). Also allows for full immediate refund if the problem is big enough that you would not have bought it if this issue had been present at the time of purchase.

    I got a full refund for a 12m old iPhone when apple announced they were going to scan everyone’s photo libraries, for example, and the shop I bought it from had to honour it. (They also got their money back from Apple).

    I know people who bought a new car that turned out to be lemon, after a few years, so they literally filled out a form, dropped the key back to the dealer and had a full refund transferred back to them.

    So… Fingers crossed!


  • I don’t want to be the “Deputy Downer” here, but I can’t stress the important of the v0 (we say v-naught) plastics in keeping you safe when it comes to electrical installations - for those that aren’t aware, they are plastics that have to self extinguish once the fault trips the electrical protection, should a fault occur that sets them on fire. (ie: once the electricity isn’t making it flame anymore, it has to put itself out)

    Here is an example of how even low voltage DC can fault, and had the LED strip diffuser plastic not been v0 rated, we would have had a late night house fire into the roof when kids were asleep…

    Laundry Light Fitting Failure

    PETG in this kind of situation just becomes fuel and possible a very, very, very bad day…

    I know v0 spools are more expensive, but cheaper than just about any of the disaster situation alternatives, so I always suggest you prototype with PLA/PETG but print v0 for the finals…
