Can you use fetchmail with a proxy?posted in IT Discussion
I moved a fetchmail job from one server to another. When I manually run it it fails. I just want to test it and we have multiple proxies my company uses for this but I don't see any reference to proxies in the fetchmail configs or anything. Google-fu didn't come up with anything

Does ChromeOS make sense for a desktop only computer?
I'm thinking about something like Asus Chromebox but maybe there are other hardware options as well.
Not if you want optimal usefulness.
I'd use one in addition to or to compliment a regular laptop/ultrabook, but I'd never get by with one as a replacement.
Unless you have desktop apps you need to run, I'd argue that it runs actually better.
I bought my fiance two so far and they run great. I also setup a lab for some developmentally disabled clients at a previous job and it was fantastic.

@Pete-S Didn't catch up completely on this thread but for normal home users that only use basic applications and browse the internet chromebooks/chromeboxes are great.

Started watching The Mandalorian earlier, too.
I'm seriously liking this so far. There is so much lore being filled in.
I'm not far enough in to have much opinion yet.
Totally agree with JB. It's been great so far

Played a little more D&D with the kids last night.
How did you introduce them to D&D?

I picked up Divinity Original Sin 2 on sale, for the Switch. It's good, but hard!
Fun game although I think they need to change the armor system in regards to crowd control

@DustinB3403 Isn't this included in file auditing? Event ID 4663 or something similar
That might work as well, the bigger issue is Windows doesn't have this log turned on by default. . . so now I have to turn that on and see if it works.
Not a huge ordeal, just a nice to know so I can deal with it.
Yeah I actually wasn't sure. It's a good question

We can always turn it off again, so let's have a go with visible downvotes.
It will show if someone is on a targeted downvote crusade to lower reputation of one specific user... which we've had before.I don't see why it matters. Everyone is free to downvote me into oblivion. I could care less

I had this ruined for me by someone in the mall due to a magazine article. I was pissed.
