You’re getting an error that Outlook or Thunderbird cannot save to the sent folder and you’re connected to an imap server running dovecot. You’re also seeing Maximum Number of User+IP connections in /var/log/maillog as people try to send email messages.

Please edit the following configuration to accept more simultaneous connections from a single IP. Add it if missing.

/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

Add or edit the line and increase it.

mail_max_userip_connections = 50

Restart dovecot via

systemctl restart dovecot

After an upgrade of ISPconfig to the latest version, I told ISPConfig to “reconfigure” services. Roundcube started these entries in the /usr/share/roundcubemail/logs/imap.log:

[19-Dec-2021 23:26:53 +0000]: <21grgvah [A61A] S: A0001 NO [UNAVAILABLE] Temporary authentication failure. [mail.domain.com:2021-12-19 23:26:53]

At first I thought this was a user password problem, but confirmed the user’s password was accurate. After quite a lot of debug, I found that it wasn’t a Roundcube login issue (I had properly upgraded that software), it was a dovecot issue. Roundcube authenticates against the dovecot imap server, the communication between roundcube and dovecot was working. It was dovecot that was broken when communicating to the SQL database (found in /var/log/maillog).

I’m ranting. Today I ran across an article from 2018 by a prominent newspaper. We’ll call them “ooh ess ehhhe schmooday.” It was about someone called an Xennial, 1978 to 1983 I believe. I was born in 1980.

What the fuck? What an awful word. Whoever came up with such a stupid shit word needs to be drug out into the street and shot!

(Not literally, figure of speech.)

Seriously? That’s what they’re calling us? The Xennials? The generation caught between X and Millennial? We built the FUCKING INTERNET, ALL the tech you use today, and you’re calling us a FUCKED UP name like that?!?!

Nope! Oh no no no no no. Sorry. We identify as The Oregon Trail Generation and nothing else!

We set out on an uncharted journey, paving the way for the rest of y’all...

If you thought they removed the feature to add shared folders to your own drive, you can be relieved to know that it still exists!!!

In your browser, open up: drive.google.com

Navigate to the “Shared With Me” area (left column).

Select an item or folder (single click to highlight it).

Next use SHIFT-Z to activate a hidden menu that will allow you to add the item or folder to your own Google Drive.

THAT’S IT!

Enjoy.

• In Unifi Controller = Networks set an IP range DIFFERENT from your current one
• On your “old” router/firewall hard code a DNS resolve for “unifi” to your Controller IP
  I added: unifi.domain.website.com (our windows domain and corresponding DNS is running on a sub-domain).
  You can verify this works on your domain by opening a CMD and type “ping unifi” … it should resolve now.
• Connect the USG WAN port to your LAN – Controller should get a LAN IP via DHCP.
• In the Controller adopt the USG
• In the Controller configure WAN port to your real WAN data (static IP, whatever etc.).
  Note: The Controller will show the USG forever as “Provisioning”. Wait a few minutes, then…
• Replace your old firewall/router with the USG (WAN to WAN Port, LAN to LAN port)…
• In Unifi Controller = Networks set the LAN IP range back t...

Expanding images

1. Shut down the virtual machine
2. Resize the image with
   qemu-img resize image.qcow2 +SIZE
   Where SIZE is the size (e.g. 10G for 10 gigabytes).
3. Boot into gparted live and resize the partition.

Shrinking images

1. Boot into gparted live and resize the partition smaller.
2. If you managed to resize the partition from within the virtual machine (and thus didn’t shut it down already for resizing), shut it down now.
3. KVM/QEMU images are stored in /var/lib/libvirt/images by default. I store them under /storage/images for my purposes. This process is done by root-only, so su is acceptable in this case. Create a new smaller qcow2 file to store the copied data
   qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=metadata newimage.qcow2 NEW_SIZE
   where NEW_SIZE is the size (10G for the exampl...

Pull the power cord and re-plug it.
When the phone says “booting” hold the 1 and the 9 keys and keep holding until the phone says Factory Reset and asks for the admin password.
To enter the password, you will need to press a key multiple times to get the character you want, such as “ABC1abc” you would press 1 several times to get to get to the small ‘b’.

Password: Grandstr3am

Press the large DOT key in the middle of the arrow keys.
Phone should reboot and re-program itself.
