**aptalca** · Running LibreELEC from USB flash drive **aptalca** May 2, 2016 at 3:26 PM

Really? I did that many times in the past.

I had loaner flash drives with oe on them, set up with mysql.

When we had guests, I would just hand them a usb stick they could boot from, and they could access all the media on their laptops

I was going to post the same thing

So. . . +1 I guess

Speaking of booting from portable, does le change the system time to utc like oe did in the past? It was super annoying to temporarily use on a Windows computer because win expected the system time to be the local time.

I used to give oe flash drives set up with mysql to visitors so they could watch my movies on their laptops but they would always complain about the time getting messed up

**aptalca** · Upgraded from OE - No SQL? **aptalca** April 8, 2016 at 11:48 PM

I upgraded from oe to le as well, had the same issue. Just go into the le settings addon and tick the box wait for network.

The problem is, that option is off by default and kodi may start before the network is up and can't reach the mysql server

I've come to a similar conclusion but I wouldn't mind if they ended up in Junk to be marked. At the moment they are just eaten

Oh, that's not good. Did they send a dmarc report perhaps?

Nothing to do with tapatalk, it's Microsoft being stupid with our registration emails. We've deployed all the correct stuff (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) to ensure that our email is not seen as spam and it is handled normally by all the other services. However for some reason MS considers it bad and messages are silently discarded on their side (we deliver it successfully to them). Sadly the MS help portals are deliberately vague to avoid assisting spammers and are thus not helpful. I have a professional background architecting huge-scale email infrastructures, and honestly, I can't fathom out why they are blocking us.

As far as I know, for ms, new domains or ip addresses start out with a poor reputation and you have to build it. With Google and yahoo, they start out with a decent one.

Therefore it's pretty common for emails from new domains or ip addresses to get marked as spam by Microsoft at first. You have to click on "not spam" in Hotmail or outlook a few times before they start going into the inbox.

I experienced that multiple times with Microsoft and it's really annoying.

Edit: I keep a few Hotmail and Outlook accounts active just for this purpose. Whenever I set up emails with a new domain or ip, I send a bunch of emails to those accounts and hit "not spam" until they start going into the inbox.
