Didn't know that project. Sounds like an opensource Tailscale with more features. Love it, thanks for sharing!

By default GNOME has the same distinction between apps and windows and works with the backtick, too. I find it comfortable enough once you get used to it. You can do 2 different things with almost the same command (in terms of fingers position). It's only manageable with a US keyboard layout though, I give you that.

Re:Maddy: Composable all-in-one mail server in Go on Sunday November 22, 2020 @04:03AM (#25176053)
I've been using a docker mail server[0] pre-configured for years without issues. I switched from DigitalOcean to Vultr and finally landed on Hetzner. Always had no issues delivering or receiving messages from/to the big guys. I'm also addicted to watchtower[1] to keep it automatically updated without hassle.
