If schools only focused on what students were motivated to learn, I'm not sure schools would really be accomplishing much. Not to say that schools shouldn't foster motivation in students. Just that technology, especially social media, is very effective at distracting people.

You were not an asshole for saying thanks dude, but your comment after their reaction made you an asshole then. Your coworker's reaction was pretty strong though. Have you had issues with them before? I would try to apologize to them when you get a chance, maybe bring some coffee and donuts as consolation if you really wanna mend things.

Don't forget to do so in the alternate realities you discover too 😄

Is that from the deltarpms? It's a pretty common problem with them. You can disable deltarpms if you don't mind installing the full package by default. Though if you're concerned about the cost of the data, deltarpms are probably exactly what you want 🫤

Not directly to your exact question, but do you have something like rspamd set up? I would consider doing some filtering with rspamd modules. It's a lot of learning to go through, but has some good defaults. It can filter outgoing mail as well as incoming.

Yea I remember when people would just stand around the headphone booths in music stores and sample whatever new CDs came out that week. Maybe it was worse in the cassette tape era?

The headphones were gross. And to be honest, most albums only have a couple good songs anyway.

Should be able to handle a few users OK. You might want a more permanent server to run it on if they want to keep using it long term though.
