Running your own mail server is like having a pet dog. You have to keep it in good shape, exercise it, feed it well .. chain it up when necessary, clean up after it and so on. Keep the neighbours kids from stealing it and using it to deliver drugs, etc.

If you treat it like a pet, it makes it a lot easier to manager. "Oh, did I forget to check the mail logs this week", and so on..

The Macbook Pro display drives me crazy. It takes just a small squeeze for the liquid-crystal particles to dislodge themselves and form an orange blob that moves around with gravity, leaving blue splotches where they used to be .. and yet Apple refuse to acknowledge this is a design problem, and pushes it back to the customer as "user fault: didn't use a case".

I'm just waiting for enough people to have this happen to them, complain about it, and it becomes a class action situation .. like so many other failures of Apple quality management in the last decade. The last time this happened, Apple ended up replacing my whole system - because they'd misapplied thermal paste to their CPU's, on top of using poor quality GPU's from Nvidia ..

At some point, this is going to be a problem for Apple. At a Trillion-dollar market cap, I wonder how soon, however ..

Countless books have been written on this subject:

I've done it countless times, and not by accident. Sometimes this is the only way to debug things.

>because you cannot change your genes by reading the writings of religious leaders.

Well, you most certainly can change your mind by reading writings, and that is the most important aspect of every human being, worth investigating further .. at all costs.

I dumpster dive because I think its utterly criminal to throw away perfectly working equipment. Revive, recycle, re-use!

{A whole lotta oil-debt can be paid back with a return trip from the dump and a bit of patience..}

The info-gathering nature of dumpster diving still impresses me, 40 years later. Peoples' trash-cans are an open door to their rear-end, if ya know what I mean .. Don't forget to WIPE, people!
