How to configure mailx to send mail from

I'm trying to configure a noscript to send mail through [gmx.com](https://gmx.com)

When I run the following settings with a login account of 'uuu' (username matches the email address I'm sending from) it works. When it doesn't match, then I get 550 Sender address is not allowed, because it's trying to use from:username@gmx.com. I've looked through settings but can't find the one that lets you update the account name. Lots of things seem like this, but they trigger the same error (example FromLineOverride=YES and then -r '[uuu@gmx.ccom](mailto:uuu@gmx.ccom)'... triggers the same friggin error. I've tried putting the username into the hostname, the mailhub, etc).

So I can get it to work by just setting up a user account with the same username as the email address, but it seems like there should be a way to.. not do this, and I can't find it in the documentation. Is there any way to do this?

echo Login to server! | mailx -s "Message!" -r [uuu@gmx.com](mailto:uuu@gmx.com) [rrr@mail.com](mailto:rrr@mail.com)

[`root=uuu@gmx.com`](mailto:root=seemslegit@gmx.com)

[`mailhub=mail.gmx.com:587`](https://mailhub=mail.gmx.com:587)

[`rewriteDomain=gmx.com`](https://rewriteDomain=gmx.com)

[`hostname=gmx.com`](https://hostname=gmx.com)

`FromLineOverride=NO`

[`AuthUser=uuu@gmx.com`](mailto:AuthUser=seemslegit@gmx.com)

`AuthPass=xxxxx`

`UseSTARTTLS=YES`

The year of Linux Desktop is here!

The moment is nigh my brethren!

I've installed Linux on all the machines I can touch - my gaming rig, my grandparents laptop, my new laptop, my friends laptop, heck, even my school computer!

We're at 5+ new Linux desktops and still counting. It's really starting to have an effect on the Linux desktop market share. Don't believe me? Go look for youself at [netmarketshare.com](https://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?options=%7B%22filter%22%3A%7B%22%24and%22%3A%5B%7B%22deviceType%22%3A%7B%22%24in%22%3A%5B%22Desktop%2Flaptop%22%5D%7D%7D%5D%7D%2C%22dateLabel%22%3A%22Trend%22%2C%22attributes%22%3A%22share%22%2C%22group%22%3A%22platform%22%2C%22sort%22%3A%7B%22share%22%3A-1%7D%2C%22id%22%3A%22platformsDesktop%22%2C%22dateInterval%22%3A%22Monthly%22%2C%22dateStart%22%3A%222019-03%22%2C%22dateEnd%22%3A%222020-02%22%2C%22segments%22%3A%22-1000%22%7D)

How relevant is Desktop Linux for the foresee future?

At Windows, Microsoft is betting big on WSL and even on the new interface (Win UI). Apple always had a really good OS and it's improving with time.

The question is, where is Desktop Linux on all that? I'm saying this because I think with time we're gonna see even more "exclusive" features on modern laptops and devices. And they will offer a way better experience that we can get from Desktop Linux that most of the time support only basic features.

I was a heavy Linux user but switched to Mac about 3 years ago because I was just tired of keep tuning and fixing my distro so often. But there is something inside me that always wanted to return to Linux. I'm feeling torn at the moment trying to decide if I keep investing in Mac or switch back to Linux.

Tax prep software that runs on Linux?

I moved off Windows late last year. But now it's tax time, and none of the major tax prep packages run on Linux. I haven't found any dedicated open source software for this (not sure I'd trust it anyway). Maybe there are sources I've overlooked -- any suggestions?

[Quick noob guide] How to set up Folding@Home on Linux

I thought I'd make a quick noob guide/tips for getting Folding@Home to install and run on Linux, as I had a bit of trouble myself getting it running, and not everyone has a sibling, whose Linux-fu surpassed your own withing a week of them starting to use Linux, to lean on for such things :) Not all Linux users are super-wizards, and my wizardry is likely on level Rincewind, compared to many (most?) Linux-users.

**So here goes:**

Download the .deb (assuming you're running a Debian based distro, like Ubuntu and it's flavours and derivatives) from the Folding at Home website: https://foldingathome.org/start-folding/


Assuming you've downloaded it to ~/Downloads, run the following command:

sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/fahclient_7.5.1_amd64.deb


Change the package name according to which version. Your's might be newer than mine.

This should make the terminal turn into a "installer" type view, where you set if you want to start automatically, input credentials (not needed, only if you're interested in the Folding points) and team (for points).

I'd recommend setting it to auto. You can check the status and set team, username, passkey, which disease and what load to run on by going to https://client.foldingathome.org/ in your browser. This is a web interface for the local client running on your machine (like the Pihole interface).

Web view:

https://client.foldingathome.org/

If you want to fold for COVID-19, then set "I support research fighting" to "Any disease", and you'll be given, among others, computing tasks for the Corona virus.



To check status, and start if not running:

Status

sudo /etc/init.d/FAHClient status

Start:

sudo /etc/init.d/FAHClient start


____________



If you want to remove it, as far as I know this is the way to do so:

sudo dpkg -P fahclient

That's the fonly entry I get when doing a package search:

apt-cache pkgnames | grep "fah*"

And just to state the obvious here, "fah" = **f**olding**a**t**h**ome

______

Postamble (if that's a word):

Yes, the noob in question here is your's truly ;) Imo, I think the F@H page should have a little more info on the install process, and the [Guide](https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/installation-guides/linux/) didn't help, since I got none of the steps there by installing via the .deb. Only via terminal was I given the proper "setup". I wasn't given any info about the webview or it's address via the .deb install. The lack of visual feedback of any kind still has somewhat of a "now what" effect on me, especially when installed through a .deb or equivalent. At least in the terminal you usually get some sort of output back (backput?) that a process did happen, and possibly some info too. Maybe the F@H install process (and Guide!) on Linux should be a bit better, or perhaps I should be a bit better at Linux, who knows :) Anyway, happy Folding, and if anyone spots any errors here, please give me a shout and I'll fix'em right up.

Remake – GNU Make 4.3 with profiling, a debugger, and .

In a recent article on GNU Make 4.3 (link deleted because reddit seems to think this is post is advertising for that) I read that GNU Make 4.3 can speed up GNU/Linux builds greatly.

Has anyone verified this?

As a result, I updated and released the fork of that I have which includes hooks to profile a build, and has a complete debugger in it (although most of the time the better tracing that is in there is enough).

The most recent version has a feature though that I really like and use a lot which is adding an option to look in parent directories for a Makefile if none is found in the current directory.

You can download the sourcecode from either [sourceforge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/bashdb/files/remake/4.3%2Bdbg-1.5/) or from [github](https://github.com/rocky/remake/releases). Both have a full list of the release notes.

Custom software log analyzer tool

Hi,

My job is to analyze log files of custom made programs in Linux on Linux

I am the first and for now the only one in the company that does this....

I mostly use ack/grep and vscode for viewing and analyzing. These log files.

I was wondering if there was a tool in which I can search for multiple keywords and these lines would be displayed in a different color per keyword. And where I could save list of keywords for faster analyzing the same log files from different accounts....

Or if anyone here has another suggestion on how to tackle this or be more productive...... ?

Other programs? Self made noscripts? .....

Are there any Magic Mouse alternatives for Linux ? AKA: is there an escape strategy to the mouse scroll wheel ?

Hi everyone! I am going back to Linux as my main desktop operating system, after several year of OSX, anyway I always used Linux as the main development env.
Now, while the trackpad has a very nice pixel precision scrolling that’s not the case of the mouse scroll wheel, which is always fixed to the scroll by lines tick also on more advanced devices like the Mx master and it’s free spinning wheel, which under Windows works smoothly.

So, I think that the only solution to have a more granular wheel scrolling is using an external trackpad or a touch mouse, do you own or you know some Linux compatibile devices like this one ?
I know that the Magic Trackpad 2 or the Magic Mouse 2 should be compatible, the question is: Is the emulates wheel scrolling by pixel (like the laptop trackpad) or it will be driven by the mouse subsystem emulating the scroll wheel ?

Thanks in advance for your replies :)
