Q.U.I.N.N.

wondered why deltachat was so quiet. turns out the alpine upgrade installed a version of dovecot with a breaking change to configs and the mail servers down.

formally speaking i hate distro packages now.

if i'm gonna have to redo all kinds of shit it looks like i might as well just switch everything to containers. tired of this dumb bullshit where distros push updates to things like dovecot or python which in turn causes a massive cascade of shit to break because haha lmao oh man what is semantic versioning

@icedquinn Listen, if you can't devote several hours a week scouring the change logs we publish on a mailing list (who's sign up page was deleted) for breaking changes to your software, then maybe self hosting just isn't for you.

@manfromhuh @icedquinn it was kind of a dick move to make people redo their entire config in a minor release too, this really should have been dovecot 3 instead of 2.4
