I'm looking for some kind of File Drop / File Upload service.

I'd like to be able to create a folder, and create a share / upload link for that folder that I can give to a customer to use to upload their documents.

I've been using nextcloud but I don't use nextcloud for any other purpose and it's a behemoth so I'd like to transition to something else.

Some of these requirements are essential (!):

• no login for customers uploading (!)
• optional password protection for uploads
• can't see / download files already present in the shared folder

I can't decide the best way to secure our front loading washing machine.

We have twins. They're fascinated by the washing machine. Lights, beeps, action... everything. One twin getting inside and their erstwhile companion starting the cycle is absolutely possible.

Obviously we keep the laundry door closed but in a way you just build up the appeal. One of them has figured out how to open doors by standing on his trike.

I could put some kind of stick-on toddler lock on the door but I worry it would be tough to establish the habit of closing the door and putting that lock on. Besides which surely it's nice to leave the door open to dry out between loads anyway?

The washing machine does have a toddler lock but that's only to prevent someone changing the settings during a cycle, it doesn't prevent starting a cycle.

My best idea thus far is a timer on the power outlet. So you turn on the power and set the timer to turn it off after however long the load takes.

The problem with this is that I haven't been able to find a count-down style timer that allows you to set periods longer than 2 hours. Most power outlet timer thingies do schedules, not count-down.

I know this maybe sounds like an easily solvable problem - just turn the power off when it's done - but that's just not how things roll in our house.

The wife of a wrongly deported Salvadoran father living in Maryland was moved to a safe house after Donald Trump’s administration posted a court document that included her address on social media.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s wife Jennifer Vasquez Sura said she began fearing for her safety and the safety of her three children after the Department of Homeland Security shared a protective order from 2021 that prominently featured her address to the department’s 2.4 million followers on X.

“I don’t feel safe when the government posts my address, the house where my family lives, for everyone to see, especially when this case has gone viral and people have all sorts of opinions,” she told The Washington Post. “So, this is definitely a bit terrifying. I’m scared for my kids.”

Edit: nevermind. Turns out my email host is already running spamassassin and I can configure it how I wish.

My email is hosted at mxroute. I'm happy with their pricing and service and don't want to selfhost my email. However, their spam management isn't great.

I just realised that it might be possible to run spamassassin myself, which will set spam headers on the emails which my email client (thunderbird) can then use to decide what to do.

There seems to be a bunch of poorly maintained / abandoned ways in which to do this. I thought I'd ask here just in case any one else is doing this and can help me skip to the end.

I was hoping for a docker container (or compose stack) that provides an IMAP proxy and runs spamassassin.

Any ideas and insights welcome. My email juggling could use some improvement.
