somehow running your own mailserver never appeared possible for me. First of all, the whole mailserver, webinterface and antispam construction seemed to be too much hassle for me to set up on my own. Secondly the reputation for e-mails sent from an own hosted mailserver used to be pretty bad. I have heard that other mailservers wouldn’t accept these e-mails because, for certain reasons, they where classified as spam. DKIM and DMARC flags where missing. At the Hacking in Parallel Conference in Berlin smart people recommended me the one-stop-shop-solution MailCow: a dockerized e-mail server with everything you that is necessary...

touchpad gestures on Linux to control browser
if you ever have used the touchpad gestures on macOS (e.g. swipe to the left for going backwards in your browser) you might have found it quite convenient. Under Linux the software touchegg and the interface touche nearly does the same. It is possible to connect swipe commands with 3 or 4 fingers to keyboard shortcuts. In my case I connected the shortcut “alt+arrow left” to go backwards in Brave with the “3 finger swipe left”-gesture in touche. Et voila: I can now browse back without leaving the touchpad in my laptop. Another nice gesture: Zoom in with 2 finger...

If you are familiar with MacOS you probably have come across the “Spotlight” search or even its more powerful siblings Alfred or Raycast. All of them provide search-functionality and launch applications through a little searchbar that pops up once you press a shortcut. Usually Ctrl+Space oder Command+Space. The tool “Ulauncher” is similar to Raycast with the option to launch applications, search for files, open websites with shortcuts or even extend its functionality with extensions. For example search bitwarden for passwords, paste text-snippets (I am prefering Autokey though) start VMs or a Remmina-Session. I can highly recommend that app and hope...

Bitwarden is an open source passwordsafe software similar to KeepassX, but with a huge difference: It is based on a webserver which stores and manages the passwords (and notes as creditcard info and identities) centrally. So the data can be synchronized end2end-encrypted easily throughout different plattforms like desktops, notebooks, tablets and smartphones. Bitwarden can be used as a cloud service run by bitwarden or, as in my case, installed on premise in your own environment. It provides saving and organizing of sensitive data/passwords/texts Multifactor authentication with app or token sharing of passwords in organizations propose safe passwords through password generator...
