OMG. I can only imagine. Then again, the stuff on the interwebs is contradictory and often wrong.

Because, if you don't know how to do it from the innate elegance of all things that are Linux, none of the other Linux afficionado's want you to find out. They're worried that your voice might drown theirs out in their worship at Linus' feet.

I did some WarCraft on some brand of Linux. Some Rimorld too.
The only thing I miss, is VS.

Ain't no picnic regardless of OS. I have done a couple of Exchange servers and managed a couple of domain email servers on O365. IIRC, powershell took a bunch of typing. Microsoft makes you jump through hoops to use your own domain name. Best done for security reasons. Exchange can be fussy about ports, requiring receive connectors in our case. Like anything else, once you know how to do it, it is intuitive.

Interesting how folks here like to belittle Linux, I think the majority of Internet servers run Linux. I think Googles stuff, like Android is based from Linux. Desktop? Never close until Chromebooks showed up.
I imagine most of you haters prefer running Windows on your smartphones.

apt-get... ehh... sounds.... old and complicated. 
Isn't there a Docker image you can use?

Because 99.99% of people who can install Linux and putz around on the command line should not be allowed to run a mail server. Making the learning curve to setting one up a thousand mile high completely smooth cliff face protected by a 100 mile deep minefield and top mounted flame throwers sheathing the entire cliff face in fire is a feature intended to limit the supply of misconfigured mail servers available for spammers to use and to limit the accumulation of IPv4s on never delete spammer blacklists.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Interesting - this is almost exactly what it takes to set up an SMTP server on Windows. The only steps I take on Windows that's not on this list is to configure the anti-relay features.

Let's take a stand, even if it costs me my account...
... I don't really care about an account here at the moment and have never cared about it before.
Are we all just an unscrupulous bunch and claim that we are only technicians?
Or do we also stand by basic human values?
If Putin strikes with nuclear wapons I hope he will get a full package back.
Sorry
But the situation in Ukraine bothers me!

The situation all over the world - and now in Ukraine - bothers me... And I do take a stand... Not here... There are the place for that...

When you look at my family tree (back to the early 13th century) there is a big wipe-out at WWII... I can not forget it, believe me... I also live in a place where war is every-day happening... I do have my opinion which I express frequently (in Hebrew)... Still not here...

This 13th century idiot survived, prolly due to religion just being politics.
Know you talking wipe out, like me explain money lenders; No catholic can ask for interest, but Jews could, and did. There's a popular game based on it.

That's politics; not all members on the same side. Let's not cause a division here.

Are you thinking that if someone with a name of 0x01AA on the Internet 'takes a stand', then the powers-that-be will take notice and act upon it? They will only do what they want and what their advisors say.

If you want, there is an organization run by the Ukrainian military where you can send them financial aid directly.
How to help the Ukrainian Army[^]
This is the English landing page. Choose the "Help the Ukrainian Army" option, click through.
You'll need
A) Google translate
B) A currency converter, since the donation is in Ukraine money.
C) Probably to notify your bank since the money will be going straight to the Ukraine. (My fraud dept at my CU called us when we used the site, because obviously, the transaction seems suspicious for people not from there)
As far as the veracity of the site, I've vetted it to the best of my ability, and am confident enough that I used it.

My CU has blacklisted/blocked all financial transactions by default, with Ukraine, Czech Republic, Russia, and a few other countries.
I have to meet the bank in person, I can't call or email, and I have to specify which company I will be doing business with, and they whitelist this transaction for 3 days only.
Unfortunately, I can't whitelist a "blocked" company/country indefinitely.
With that said, donating money to causes and charities outside the United States is a real PITA.

I can see why they would. I'm glad my CU doesn't. Instead they check in with us via phone before authorizing the payment. I find it convenient as far as security measures go.

These days, almost two hundred thousand Ukrainians trespassed the Ukrainian-Polish border in Lviv, Ukraine, aiming to save their lives, due to the Russian military occupation threat. Awful.
