Self-hosted or personal email solutions?

I have a unique name, think John Doe, and I’m hoping to create a unique and “professional” looking email account like johndoe@gmail.com or john@doe.com. Since my name is common, all reasonable permutations are taken. I was considering purchasing a domain with something unique, then making personal family email accounts for...

7Sea_Sailor,

Lots of people have said worthwhile things. Don’t selfhost email for example. While going with an email hoster has been recommended a couple times, which is good and easy, I want to offer an alternative: SimpleLogin (or comparable providers). Essentially a “email alias generator”, it forwards received emails to one or more mail addresses (Google, Hotmail, what have you). It also allows you to connect a domain and then create new inboxes on the fly by simply sending (or telling a service to send) an email to that non-existing inbox. Which is incredibly handy if you’re faced with a situation that demands an email, where you don’t want to give out an actual email.

So say you have the domain doe.com, and you’re in a physical shop at the register, faced with the question if you want to get 10% off by registering for their members club. You can simply give the cashier the email “coupon_walmart@doe.com” (which does not yet exist), the email will be sent, received bei SL, the inbox created and the coupon code forwarded to your Gmail account. Afterwards, you can disable or delete the inbox and never have to worry about newsletters or data breaches. Nifty!

Every one of these boxes also has its own “sent from” address visible in your actual mail account. Which means that you can simply respond to incoming emails, and the recipient will see the mail address they sent a message to. This also means that you can set up filters in your mail account to move messages from certain sender addresses into specific labels, as if they were real separate email accounts.

7Sea_Sailor,

Are you too young to know the Bernie Sanders meme, or too old to know the Bernie Sanders meme?

7Sea_Sailor,

This will work, but is not as nice as the official way to do it via a config file, as described by another comment here.

How safe is self-hosting a public website behind Cloudflare?

I work in tech and am constantly finding solutions to problems, often on other people’s tech blogs, that I think “I should write that down somewhere” and, well, I want to actually start doing that, but I don’t want to pay someone else to host it....

7Sea_Sailor,

Or take github out of the equation and directly use cloudflare pages. It has its own pros and cons, but for a simple static blog it’ll be more than enough, and takes out the CNAME hassle.

7Sea_Sailor,

Change the ssh port to something with 4-5 digits, disable ssh password Auth and use certificates only, don’t expose any port other than 443.

If you’re paranoid, use cloudflare as a proxy and set the VPS firewall to only accept incoming traffic from cloudflares ip list.

That’s about it really.

7Sea_Sailor,

May I ask: are you sure you need a media center with transcoding? Because it may be totally sufficient for you to access files through a file explorer and play them with VLC/mpv or whatever else. Having a media center is only really useful if you need external access to your media. I set all that stuff up once, then realized i never watch shows/movies on the go. And if I do, i know beforehand and can copy the raw files to the device i plan to watch on.

7Sea_Sailor,

At that point I’d rather pirate the game and donate to mod developers who are putting endless hours of unpaid time into free mods.

7Sea_Sailor,

Am I crazy? I cannot find that open source for PDFgear. Yes it’s free, but they need to have some income if they can offer an AI integration. What’s the catch?

7Sea_Sailor,

For logging keys, usually

7Sea_Sailor,

dont put money into that “announcement”. they “exposed” her to be an old cracker who was in the scene many, many years ago. that person is to this day fighting a court case about their time in the scene. they’ve also written a post somewhere on the net talking about this and how hurt and confused they are to be dragged back into this mess. and the group that did the “exposing” has, as far as i have seen, not provided a single piece of evidence for their claims.

innocent until proven guilty. no one knows who empress is, so you may as well believe she is the woman she says to be.

7Sea_Sailor,

this is the only valid response to the question that was asked. save yourself the time of trying to get the license out of your existing system. you’re literally on the piracy community. just generate a new license, you’ll be done in maybe 30 seconds, if even that long.

Websites to download cracked software for Windows?

Yes, I have looked in the megathread. Specifically under the sections “All Purpose”, “Tools”, and “Software”… however, I didn’t find any general, all purpose websites for cracked software. Or at least, the megathread never had something in it that said “great website for cracked software”....

7Sea_Sailor,

Vouch for teamos. Haven’t tried the others.

Also it’s three suggestions ;)

7Sea_Sailor,

Would this require specific stripping flags or is a simple


<span style="color:#323232;">ffmpeg -i video.mkv -c:v copy -c:a copy out.mkv
</span>

enough?
