I would like to pay someone to be the relay for business e-mails, because gently caress having to deal with people in charge of mail systems.

I can find places that will let you use their servers for "transactional" messages and what not. I do not want to send thousands of newsletters to people, this is regular old e-mail to regular old people.

I don't need to filter incoming mail, I just need to throw a line into postfix for a smart_relay and wash my hands of this poo poo.

is this email one human sends to another? use an email provider

is this email a computer sends to one human at a time? that's "transactional," and mandrill by mailchimp works well

is this email a computer or an rear end in a top hat sends to a shitload of humans at once? that's "campaign," and mailchimp works well

yeah I need the first

I have found http://www.smtp2go.com in my searches since posting, and I think that will do what I need

that's what I thought. obscure vlan fuckery with a cheap switch doesnt sound like something i want to waste a second of my life. just wanna get a proper firewall and maybe some snort rules running idk.

also, pf owns bones, but the version that is in FreeBSD (which pfSense runs) lags behind the version in OpenBSD

you might find installing OpenBSD to be an interesting adventure

also this will probably be of use https://calomel.org

also their horrifyingly bad app design resulted in needing to rewrite portions of the android jvm at startup or something so maybe debloating it a bit would help

also i think i might have found the culprit, actually: logitech control center

it keeps crashing and at times i can't even use my mouse. its a loving shame you need it for the goddamn mouse to work

i killed it though and removed it from launchd and so far it hasn't happened again, but i cant use the forward/back buttons on my mouse

that can probably do what you need, it is the best thing for all things HID

how hard is it to put linux on a mac laptop? is it the same amount of janitoring as a normal laptop?

assuming we're talking about a modern intel system yes

you can do the EFI route if you want, or the garbage legacy option

why you would despoil a MacBook with slackware is beyond me

my almost ten year old intellimouse explorer 3 is finally losing its poo poo by doing the double-click thing and i think it's time for me to get a new one because i'm no longer the kind of person who disassembles things to repair them

is the logitech m705 as good as the reviews say it is or am i going to hate it

[edit] and since i don't really need a wireless one should i just get an m500 instead

I'm fond of this http://steelseries.com/products/mice/steelseries-sensei-raw

aside from the logo there's not a lot of gimmicky bullshit

when it's new mouse time the best thing you can do is fnd a physical store with the mice out
touch and feel them and note how beat up and broken they are.

i didnt know this existed and looks really cool

launchd isn't terribly complicated though and for what he wants to do copy/pasting apple's hello world example and just changing it to run transmission would probably work

he's still probably going to have to use the command line transmission because I'm pretty sure it's not going to launch an app without a desktop session for it to live in

whats the yosposest vps recommendation for a small us based host for vpn / loving around I'm looking at vultr.com because $5 for a 768MB /15GBSSD seems pretty good.

I've been using vultr since they support FreeBSD, have no current complaints, wouldn't recommend running a mail server on them though.
