That's awesome. Doesn't it feel good when everything works?
It really gripes me that Thunderbird hasn't released an iOS compatible app.
There is a lot of discussion whether to leave the battery in when using a laptop as a server. I think the consensus is that you cap the charge at 60% to 80%. Sometimes the configuration for this is in your BIOS, and sometimes you have to do it manually if possible. The reasoning being, so you aren't constantly charging the battery to it's max limit and causing a 'spicy pillow' which would be a fire hazard.
Rock on with yo' bad self bro!
Thanks!
It does feel great to be able to provide something like this for my family and to know that i control the data. For the thinkpad, I'll look into the options when I have a bit more time. For now I took the battery out. Thanks for the tip!
Hellz yeah! Git sum.
