[02:51] <lotuspsychje> good morning
[06:18] <ducasse> good morning
[09:30] <[VMGuy23]> Walex: 1min startup? u sure?
[18:07] <rfm> cranberry, you can set a pipe in a mail alias or ~/.forward file to have all mail delivered to that command.  Used for running all mail through procmail for sorting/filtering.   "| command".
[18:09] <rfm> cranberry, I guess you could get the deliver-to-a-net endpoint with "! nc host port"
[18:09] <cranberry> hi rfm
[18:09] <cranberry> I can put bash like scripting in ~/.forward?
[18:09] <cranberry> is that file read by the MUA or MTA ?
[18:10] <cranberry> because if that'S the case, that's exactly what I'm looking for - as you stated I would just need the email piped into "| nc host port"
[18:10] <rfm> cranberry, it's not full script language, just uses the same pipe symbol.  the command has to be literal, it's not globbed, substituted, etc
[18:11] <rfm> cranberry, of course the command could be a shell script.
[18:11] <cranberry> ah, I see. that is super handy to know! do you use a specific mail agent with it? or is it an universal thing? I tried searching but could not really find anything
[18:13] <rfm> cranberry, certainly sendmail and postfix do it.  it used to be very popular for running all incoming mail through "procmail" for sorting and filtering....
[18:13] <cranberry> I see - Awesome, I will try that. Thank you very much!!
[18:13] <rfm> cranberry, also the "vacation" autoreply command...
[18:14] <cranberry> oh, I did not know that was a thing on *nix
[19:19] <rfm> cranberry, I finally found where this is documented in a ubuntu manpage (assuming postfix which is the usual MTA on ubuntu):  "man aliases", which mainly documents /etc/aliases but mentions that the right-hand-side can go in ~/.forward files...
[19:21] <cranberry> rfm: nice! I searched for ".forward" and "~/.forward" but only found news articles - lol
[19:21] <cranberry> thank you very much!
[20:50] <[VMGuy23]> Is there any Wine alternatives that might work better? VM is not the way because my PC is not that great
[20:51] <Maik> afaik not
[20:51] <[VMGuy23]> Wine barely works, and thats annoying
[20:53] <Maik> there's nothing else
[20:53] <Maik> what are your system specs?
[20:56] <Maik> if VM doesn't work well either, maybe you should have considered a dual boot
[20:58] <Maik> [VMGuy23]: what windows apps do you need to run?
[20:58]  * Maik can live without them
[21:00] <[VMGuy23]> Maik: A lot of apps won't work, one reason because it runs as admin, another because 99% of librarys are missing (also, AMD Ryzen 3 3200u (i think, how do i check) with radeon vega mobile gfx) Office just... doesnt work. Also, I do dual-boot, but prefer Ubuntu
[21:01] <tomreyn> [VMGuy23]: so... why is this system not capable of virtualization?
[21:01] <Maik> who needs Office when there's LibreOffice on Ubuntu.....
[21:02] <tomreyn> you can check your cpu with   cat /proc/cpuinfo
[21:02] <tomreyn> RAM with    free -h
[21:02] <[VMGuy23]> tomreyn: its capabale of virtualisation, but its a slow pc
[21:03] <Maik> [VMGuy23]: also with system specs i mean which CPU and how much RAM
[21:03] <[VMGuy23]> AMD Ryzen 3 3200U and 16GB ram
[21:03] <tomreyn> [VMGuy23]: whats slow about it? the cpu looks good enough. unless the system has thermal issues
[21:04] <Maik> and you have issues with a VM? i run a VM in boxes on a old i5 CPU with 4GB RAM
[21:04] <tomreyn> 16 gb ram is certainly fine for virtualization if you can spare 2 or 4 for the windows vm running office
[21:05] <Maik> i can't really call your pc a low spec one
[21:06] <tomreyn> if you forgot the windows license key bound to the system mainboard    sudo strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM
[21:06] <[VMGuy23]> I have 10sec bootup on a month old install of ubuntu and GRUB takes 5-10sec to show
[21:06] <Maik> especially with a CPU that's clocked at 2.6 - 3.5GHz
[21:06] <tomreyn> [VMGuy23]: boot time is one thing, but once the system is up, what's slow about it?
[21:07] <[VMGuy23]> tomreyn: I often wait 5-10seconds waiting for GNOME to load, on a  frozen screen
[21:08] <tomreyn> okay, that'S weird. but whats the problem with running vms?
[21:08] <[VMGuy23]> tomreyn: Slow. Low FPS. Generally bad performance.
[21:08] <Maik> probably a GPU driver issue
[21:08] <tomreyn> maybe that's really thermal issues. you should check the system log
[21:09] <Maik> gotta love AMD and nVidia... i prefer Intel, less issues
[21:10] <tomreyn> if you have a dedicated nvidia graphics chipset in addition to the integrated amd graphics, and have not disabled the nvidia unit then this might be the source of latencies.
[21:10] <[VMGuy23]> Maik: yeah I recently failed to install amdgpu-pro because im on 20.10 and its for 20.04 so now I'm stuck with llvm (as it says in Settings/About) instad of what it used to say, AMD Raven2
[21:10] <Maik> [VMGuy23]: but keep in mind that this channel isn't really meant for support
[21:10] <[VMGuy23]> Maik: I know, #ubuntu isnt responding though
[21:11] <Maik> you know the drill after asking, be patient
[21:11] <Maik> same people that are in #ubuntu are also here and in other channels
[21:12] <Maik> at least the majority is
