Please inform me of an opensource way to run one that I can actually get configured properly.


Mailman 3 is acceptable, imho. It's been a few years since I worked with it, but I was able to design a reliable public instance of it (https://mailman.haskell.org) with a few days of effort, including the migration from mailman v2.


Mailman 3 is horrible, which is why some folks have ported Mailman 2 to Python3.

Lol this makes sense. I really respect the author of mailman3's dedication, but the architecture of the system is insane. There are 3 services -- the actual mail delivery piece, the admin interface, and the archiver -- all talking over various public and local interface, configuration is a nightmare, logs are all over the place, it takes over your system with scheduled cron jobs, there's some kind of built in console that I can't figure out how to use due to virtualenv issues plus cli commands that cover only some of the necessary functionality. It's gotten better since I run the tool as two docker containers, but still ends up being the most difficult service to administer and I administer quite a few


Same here — I think I set Mailman 3 up in a day, although I was already familiar with setting up the mail (Postfix) part.


I’ve heard good things about <https://mailinabox.email>.


Besides GNU Mailman, there’s also Sympa [0]. It’s fairly straightforward to set those up on a VPS with Debian or similar if you’re familiar with running a Linux server.

Same for self-hosted mail...


I haven't tried it, so it might be more complicated than the documentation leads me to believe, but Mox looks promising: https://www.xmox.nl/


I've been using it for a year now. Can vouch for the quality and reliability


I use Postfix and Dovecot. Configuration was annoying, but doable. If you read mail on the server itself then you don't need Dovecot.


Proxmox has a mail appliance.


One of my coworkers (at a social services agency) was the victim of a sim swap. If it can happen to her it can happen to anyone. They gained access to her bank accounts, all her email, as well as PayPal and Venmo. She ended up switching phone providers.


Yes, and sometimes even locked houses are broken into.


The feature I need is syncing 16 audio tracks recorded in mp3 to the embedded (scratch) audio track recorded in the video. Resolve will sync with waveforms and even an LTC track (once I got that to play reliable every time I record).

What besides Resolve supports this?


That solution relies on a lot of things having a greater effect than they actually do. It fits the pie in the sky solutions libertarians seem to like so much. Such as high healthcare costs can be fixed by creating greater choice via lowering the barrier of entry to becoming a doctor. The free market, in fact, is not actually the solution of all of society’s ills. Unions raise wages. Anti union laws and or lack of unions results in lower wages. People also just don’t have the kind of job mobility libertarians assume.


- Libertarians assume more job mobility than actually exists.

- Libertarians overlook all the problems with markets that Adam Smith identified. It's as though they never read the second half of the book.

- Libertarians overlook how existing players raise barriers to entry for existing markets.

- Libertarians overlook the collusion between market players and government to share power and wealth between both.

- Libertarians make many, many, many assumptions that are demonstrably false.

At this point all we can assume is libertarians know all this, yet keep advocating for libertarianism because it is they who seek the power and the wealth. That is to say, the libertarians are the bad guys, or, they're the stupid guys.


Libertarians are just people who thought they could learn everything they needed from studying economics without learning any history or sociology.

Everything has a simple solution until humans get complicated.


That's an excellent summary!
