@unchartedworlds

Thanks! That's really helpful.

I can say it was interesting working at a place where there are weekly CBTs in how to comment a mail thread, tone and structure to communicate requests, safety lockouts and understanding scope of responsibilities.

I already have a copy of The 50 Laws Of Power, but that isn't really what I'm looking for here. ​

Oh great Fedibrain, I have a burning question!

I would like to cut through all of the SEO garbage in search about effective workplace and safety communication. I'm looking for teachable models that ensure conversations result in a standardized approach to:

  • Raising issues
  • Responding to concerns
  • Getting attention or focus on hazards
  • Ensuring everyone understands what those mean
  • Ensuring everyone understands the appropriate response
  • Knowing when an issue is complete, and understanding indicators that the issue is closed.

I've seen this in different locations. The US Army has a pedagogy around this. Many organizations that do safety inspections have an entire culture around this (SGS, for example). Japan has models of some of this behavior, where in many places a person points and says, in a specific manner, what to watch out for.

I'm looking for short classes on this, or books people can reference, something I can suggest to some management folks.

My dearest OpenBSD / OpenSMTPd / Dovecot / Roundcube gurus.

I absolutely love OpenBSD as my mail server but there is one piece I've never been able to figure out:

Is there a way to be able to create filter rules for Dovecot and within Roundcube mail? I'm just not sure how to find out how to do this?

I've been using imapfilter fine but it would be nice to do this the lazy, GUI way inside Roundcube, if possible.

Guidance very much appreciated!

Hypothetically if I were to look for another #ThinkPad on the likes of Ebay ( new as in not older than 4-5 years ) and wanted to use #OpenBSD on it with working suspend and resume as well as working intel AX200/AX210 WiFi.
Which model would you suggest ?

@lattera Right! I agree with you completely.

Your legislator needs to hear that directly. They need to hear, personally, the impact this will have on you, and on the State of Colorado. Because what they collectively know wouldn't fill a thimble, and they are going to vote based on that lack of knowledge.

@lattera

I'm hoping you are visiting the CO state house to say that. And how and why what they are doing is a bad idea.

If you live in Colorado, you may want to get on the phone directly to your legislator about SB 26-051 which is going to force age verification into every aspect of an OS.

Since online review sites are full of biased and inauthentic reviews, are there any personal recommendations for a point of sale + online payment processing and reservation system for a new, tiny nonprofit in the US? About 20 or so local artists will be part of 501(c)(3), which will have scheduled classes, recurring membership fees (for access to studio resources), and retail sales of local artist work (need to track per-artist inventory / commission). Initially they are looking at Square Plus because some of them are already familiar with the hardware, and it seems to meet all the requirements, but a post on payroll processors by @coreysnipes reminded me to look at alternatives. Basic CRM/marketing (probably just bulk email to existing customers about upcoming events) would be needed, but can be separate. The price point of $300 POS hardware and $50/month + <=3% credit card fees looks like an amount that could be budgeted. They are making a Wordpress website, so it could either be integrated with that or just link to another site. Thanks!
