Quota in Dovecot not Matching ISPConfig

invalid@example.com (PrimeYeti) — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 14:04:25 +0000

I noticed that quota messages were not being sent when mailboxes got full. I also then noticed that the usage percentage was not updating on any of my mailboxes compared to what Dovecot showed. It looks like some of the cron PHP files are throwing errors. For example:

/usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/classes/cron.d/100-monitor_email_quota.inc.php

Backup strategy for disaster recovery (single server)

invalid@example.com (dan-v) — Sat, 19 Apr 2025 10:17:22 +0000

In a total disaster (e.g. fire) recovery situation, with the hardware destroyed, you need to start fresh.

A valid approach appears to be :

purchase new hardware
re-install Linux from distribution (Debian 12 in my case)
re-install ISPConfig (3.2 in my case) - with same users and passwords as originally
restore config and data from external backups

My question is : what exactly should have been backed up externally in the first place ? Some things are fairly...

Hi there everyone,

You can visit this template at https://warcraftian.com

I'm trying to move my template over to my server and I'm having a problem with including the files in the template(css and js). For some reason, it's resulting in a 403 error for both files. I've checked permissions and ownership and they show as correct.

This file system is mounted as a network drive on my computer and I can open these files to edit, they are not corrupt or unreadable. I also loaded the...

Python List Comprehension Error: Unexpected Output

invalid@example.com (lexie21) — Thu, 14 Dec 2023 17:59:45 +0000

I'm encountering an unexpected output while using list comprehension in Python. I'm trying to create a list of squared values for even numbers in a given range, but the result is unexpected. Here's the code I'm using:

Code:

even_numbers = [x for x in range(10) if x % 2 == 0]
squared_values = [x**2 for x in even_numbers]

print(squared_values)

I expected the output to be [0, 4, 16, 36, 64], but instead, I'm getting [0, 4, 16]. It seems like the last even number (8) and its...

How to Accept Multiple JSON Objects in a Spring Boot Request Body

invalid@example.com (lexie21) — Fri, 13 Oct 2023 07:19:36 +0000

I'm working on a Spring Boot project, and I need to create an API endpoint that accepts multiple JSON objects in the request body. These objects represent data that I want to process in bulk, but I'm not sure how to structure my controller method to handle this.
Here's a simplified example of what I want to achieve:
Let's say I have a JSON array like this:

Code:

[
    {
        "name": "Product A",
        "price": 10.99
    },
    {

JavaScript Object Sorting: Custom Sorting Based on Object Properties

invalid@example.com (lexie21) — Wed, 27 Sep 2023 14:54:26 +0000

I'm working on a JavaScript project where I have an array of objects, and I need to sort them based on specific properties of the objects. Each object represents a product and has properties like 'price', 'rating', and 'name'. I want to sort this array by the 'price' property in ascending order and, for products with the same price, by the 'rating' property in descending order.

Here's a simplified example of the array:

Here is a little script I cooked up to automate that task.

Merging Files in a Directory

I have a directory full of .txt files. I need to copy these files into a new directory, but I want to merge the files that have a duplicate line inside of the text. For example, these files would be merged into one file when copied to the new directory because the first line of text is the same.

I love ice cream because it cools me off on a hot day.
