E-mail client alternatives to Outlook (Windows and Android)

Ever since I’ve came to the company as a sole Sys admin (where there was none before) I’ve tried to keep it simple as possible… everyone has MS Office Home&Business, I’ll move everyone to Outlook from the damn Windows Live Mail… and sure thing, I’ll also install Outlook on their phones whoever wants to have Email access on their phones.

And it’s been a mess… people on Windows complaining that they dislike the new Search inside Outlook, sometimes when they try to start it up it doesn’t even open but hangs as a dead process so I had to put a shortcut on their desktop that does ‘taskkill /IM outlook.exe’… it happens on both old Windows 10 setups and brand new Windows 11 setups of all kinds… Also they’re pushing their new look a bit by bit and I’m thinking of migrating to something else before it even happens

On Android sometimes it has hard time syncing with IMAP and the search is also broken… it doesn’t work at all if only one IMAP account is logged in, so I had to login a dummy IMAP email account as a second one because only then you get the search option of which directories to search for and only then it works… idk how else to explain this but I found many people complaining about the same thing and using a solution like this for years…

So, what are your top alternatives for Email clients? It doesn’t have to be free (but a one time payment would be preferable), but it has to be a stable and simple experience for the workers on both Windows and Android. Body

Which LAN/WiFi Zigbee coordinators are good for ZHA? (EU, Aliexpress)

Can you recommend me any good LAN/WiFi Zigbee coordinators for Home Assistants ZHA? Most preferable which can be ordered from Aliexpress or somewhere in the EU

Bonus question: are WiFi coordinators usually that much worse than LAN coordinators even if they're directly next to the WiFi router?

Are most of you using Torrents or Usenet?
  • Nice try FBI....

    ....but seriously, I've been torrenting all life, never have I tried using Usenet. I prefer easy federation rather than centralised servers. How do you even get on Usenet?

  • Downgrading FLAC albums to 320kbps
  • There's barely a chance an excellent set of ears would hear the difference...but nevertheless, a set of excellent ears would go for FLAC anyway.

    I can't hear anything above 15KHz and in all of the ABX tests I ever did I couldn't really hear a difference, at least with the best equipment and headphones I've had, so even V0 is an overkill for me but still much more efficient than FLACs

    Being an audiophile is a rich people's game, the one I'd like to taste but wouldn't like to get into. The sole reason I keep FLACs is for archival purpose of music because lossy formats barely have any archival value, and you can always transcode FLACs into some better lossy format that might release in the future.

  • Downgrading FLAC albums to 320kbps
  • I'd go for MP3 V0 instead of 320kbps. Most will agree that the quality is the same but the size difference is quite noticable. I mean as long as you're going lossy, you might as well be efficient with it and not throw away space.

    I tried Lidarr but gave up on it and I'm just using Beets right now for organizing and converting my stuff. I don't download music so often and a bit manual work isn't an issue for me. I use FDK AAC and encode everything to VBR4 which is then available in Navidrome, but keep the FLACs of course.

  • What are the best anime tracking sites?
  • It does support, I've just openned an account! It supports only importing from MAL actually, and it offers it during the profile creation. Now for the other way around, AniList doesn't support exporting, which is kinda lame... but seems there are third party offline and web tools that actually can extract data from it, which is nice

  • What are the best anime tracking sites?
  • I've started using Sonarr, Radarr and Bazarr half a year ago, but only for movies and TV shows, and only by manually downloading since I didn't yet try using an indexer feature in them or Prowlarr. I'm from Croatia, English isn't my native and I prefer having correct subs for movies and TV shows (especially for my parents), so I feel like it's better for me to do the manual labor of picking the content and verifying whether everything is alright. Our subtitle scene is lacking in the quality and consistency department, but I'm still grateful for them.

  • What are the best anime tracking sites?
  • Sub integer rating sounds like a nice thing! Sometimes I miss the 0.5 step and simple 1-10 ain't really enough. I've used more rigorous scoring to achieve a better view of what I liked more on MAL which is a good thing, but nevertheless, I still miss that .5 I just might give Anilist a shot, I hope it supports importing from MAL

  • What are the best anime tracking sites?

    Hello guys! I'm wondering what you guys are using and which anime tracking sites do you deem the best. Currently I'm using MyAnimeList, used AniDB but later on still returned to MAL even though AniDB seems more advanced. Not saying that MAL is bad, but I'm wondering if there are any alternatives worth using/supporting instead

  • Local only doorbells
  • I use Reolink Dorbell PoE. I had issues setting it up with Shinobi and AgentDVR but had issues with RTSP streams because it would record for some time and then the recordings would break all the time. Then I realized it works properly with an HTTP link rather than a RTSP stream.

    Though that's before the firmware upgrades were released. Have you tried upgrading the firmware?
