Python script for monitoring an IMAP folder
Each existing unread and subsequent new emails after the script is started are
passed as Mail objects to "process_email" function.Function header is provided
but processing implementation is left to the user. Error logs are currently sent
to a rotating log file (in the same directory as the script) and to STDOUT.
Instead of polling or checking the server for new emails every now and then,
IMAP IDLE check is utilized. Ensure that the IMAP server supports IDLE command
and allows at least 5 minutes of idling*** and uses the default ports for this
script to work. Tested to work with Gmail and default installations of MS
Exchange Server.

How to format a USB drive for storing GameCube games

Why do we change the cluster size when formatting USB drives for storing GameCube games?

For loading GC Games with USBLoaderGX via DiosMios/Nintendont, format your usb drive's primary partition as FAT32 with 32KB clusters (also known as blocks). This increases performance by reducing the NUMBER of transactions required to perform a read/write operation at the expense of the (very negligible) LENGTH of time to complete a transaction; since it's reading more data per transaction.

I'm not certain, since I can't find a GameCube disk specification, but I don't think the 32KB cluster size is an attempt to imitate the on-disk storage format of retail GameCube discs; which may or may not be 32KB. Retail Wii discs however, actually DO use 32KB clusters. As far as I can tell, 32KB is simply the highest density of bytes per cluster that is supported by FAT32 and of course, by extension, Wii homebrew storage libraries.

If you're concerned about storage efficiency
