<p>Well... there are two possible solutions. One is to have a
full-featured mail server with server-side filtering. With server
side filtering, you establish simple rules that gate mailing lists
into sub-folders. Potentially, you also deliver a whole domain to
one mailbox so you can give out "crappytire@" to some retailer ...
s.t. you know if they leak it to other organizations, but also
s.t. you can "block" crappytire@ and create crappytire2@ if you
still need to give them an address to get some free stuff. Free
is good :).</p>
<p>You could say, do this with mail filtering in a client (say
thunderbird). This is imperfect as when your client is not online
(your desktop is turned off, say), your other devices will receive
all the mail that isn't being filtered. You can also (say) run
oldskule filtering in a simple mail setup ... with home
directories and whatnot.</p>
<p>... but if you're running your own mail server, I highly recomend
postfix/cyrus. Cyrus includes imap and sieve and postfix is just
good. Add an installation of "roundcube" (webmail) on top of
that... (roundcube has a nice editor for sieve) ... and youre GTG
(good to go).<br>
</p>
<p>Keeping a good mail server online is a fair amount of work, so...<br>
</p>
<p>The other possible solution is to keep a google mailbox for
mailing lists only. This is a compromise, but it can work well if
you don't post much or don't want to post under your own name.<br>

<div>To clarify regarding my email setup, I already have my own
independent email server, I just forgot to mention where I
was. At this point, I am ready to move my u-u subscription
over, but I wanted to figure out what to do about mailing
lists before I move them all over. I have an "adam@" inbox
now, but unless I find a way to filter mail that's not too
complicated, I might just make a second inbox such as "lists@"
or "adam-lists@" so I can keep the group discussions separate
from 1-on-1 discussions.</div>

<li>I'm in the process of ceasing all use of
Google services this summer (I'd wanted to do
this since 2013/Snowden, but it was beyond my
skills and/or my emotional state - until
now). One thing I always had a problem with
is how to handle the volume of certain mailing
list output, especially with busier Linux
communities which I am subscribed to. It is
the conflict between wanting those messages
away from my inbox because they're not
directly to me (and there are lots of them!),
and not wanting to miss out on important
announcements that I need to see, such as QA
release blockers which I would want to help
out with asap. Any advice, or links to good
suggestions would be great.</li>

Obviously email is a thing, given your from address. On
that tune, may I recomend a completely opensource ISP (me,
that is). I can get you all the way to TorIX without any
binary blobs. As a perk, you get an email (and, if you
like) a shell account. Again, with only open source.<br>
<br>
That said, though, you'll want to look at devices in your
life, from complex things like phones to simple things
like your router/gateway.<span class=""><br>

<li>As per a discussion at a U-U meeting several

which could be set up on IRIX to give me the
compiling capability that it was lacking. At

</span> Finding an untrackable workstation is more
problematic. The best hope I have at the momment lies in
the MIPS project, but ARM is fairly open (if not free).
Old hardware is not always the solution. I've done
pleanty of retrocomputing in my time. It can be rewarding
for a sense of accomplishment, but it's less so for
productivity.<span class=""><br>

</span> Well... the answer to that is close to my heart.
Get FreeBSD. Not installing from source is almost
harder. And you'll have ZFS ... which is just good.<br>
