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...

Moonrise2473,

Purchase the domain with cloudflare, for email it depends how you use it:

With an email client like thunderbird:

A cheap service like mxroute is perfect

If you need to use a webmail:

You need to pay a lot because the free webmails are all unusable for advanced use.

Good options:

  • Zoho at $1 per user per month
  • Exchange with ovh at €3 per user per month

Bad options:

  • Google workspace at $10 per month per user plus the blood rights for your firstborn and pray that they don’t alter the deal
  • proton pro at $9 per user per month but IMHO is extremely overrated for what they offer at their price point (unless you need end to end encryption when emailing other proton users)
Moonrise2473,

It seems so much nicer than my nextcloud bookmarks!

Moonrise2473,

What’s the excuse this time? Hamas terrorists hidden in the trunk?

Is there a sponsor block situation for Podcasts?

I’m happy to adopt a new podcast app if it has sponsorblock natively or through a plug-in. Otherwise let me know if there’s some other way to make it work. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work as all of the segments tagged for skipping are crowdsourced which would also work for Podcasts.

Moonrise2473,

I just unsubscribe when it becomes too prominent. There was a guy doing a recap of the news of the day in 5 minutes. Suddenly added 2 minutes of ads. Fuck that

Moonrise2473,

It looks like each game cartridge has an unique serial number. Nintendo could easily blacklist everything that touched a specific serial, because they can see from the telemetry something like 500 consoles ran the same cartridge in a day, immediately raising red flags

Considering the non-security of the Wii u (“ah, you say you have a ticket for a game? Sure, feel free to download from the servers, I trust you, don’t need to verify that”), I’d assume that until a serial isn’t blacklisted, the console would automatically download updates as if it was original

Seems like multiple games are swapped by removing the cartridge and reinserting it, would swap to the next title. So, 3-4 titles max or it will be annoying

Moonrise2473,

The staff commented “we can only know if it works when the movie starts”, and this sentence is let me thinking “expensive royalties would be automatically paid every single time the play button is pressed”

Moonrise2473,

checked .bash_history, looks like i installed docker in the new rootless mode


<span style="color:#323232;">wget get.docker.com
</span><span style="color:#323232;">ls
</span><span style="color:#323232;">mv index.html docker.sh
</span><span style="color:#323232;">chmod +x docker.sh
</span><span style="color:#323232;">./docker.sh
</span><span style="color:#323232;">dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo apt install uidmap
</span><span style="color:#323232;">dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install
</span>

now i need to see how to restore it to work in the traditional way or i will become crazy with the permissions…

Moonrise2473,

I fixed it:

for future reference:

  • from docs.docker.com/engine/security/rootless/…, run dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh uninstall
  • delete the user data (warning: i wasn’t using any docker volumes and i had no data to lose!!!) using the command that the previous script tells you
  • add your user to the docker group and use the traditional “run docker as root” way: docs.docker.com/engine/…/linux-postinstall/…
Moonrise2473,

i don’t want to type sudo before each single docker command

I moved off to zoho

Much cheaper than proton and offers much more.

They’re not doing like proton and close basic stuff like IMAP and SMTP as a way to force you on the official apps

I especially love the feature where you can bounce emails based on domains, keywords or TLDs. My spam folder is finally empty. IMHO bounce back spam is much better, as the spammers get a response that the address is invalid and hopefully stop wasting their limited computing resources on that address.

Zoho is not open source, but proton is a “fake” open source that is mostly used for marketing: they opened only the UI, which communicates with a proprietary protocol to a proprietary server - useless. They also reject or ignore any pull request on GitHub.

Moonrise2473,

i started with the mail basic (10 euro yearly for 10gb) but then because i switched from “secondary email that forwards to gmail” to “primary email that imports from gmail”, i had to move to the more expensive plan

Moonrise2473, (edited )

i think instead the opposite. The backend is the real interesting part, and the only way that we can be sure that “they cannot read the emails” (they arrive in clear, saved with reversible encryption and they have a key for it - if you use their services to commit crimes they will collaborate with the law enforcement agencies like everyone else)

imap/smtp can be toggled with a warning, if that’s really their concern. As of now i have the feeling that’s instead blocked to keep users inside (no IMAP = no easy migration to somewhere else) or to limit usage (no SMTP = no sending mass email)

Cars are definitely getting bigger also in Europe

In Italy the most popular car is transitioning from the fiat panda (365 cm) to the jeep Renegade (425 cm)

And the newer model of the fiat panda that’s coming out is 40 cm bigger

Moonrise2473,

it’s already hard to fit a small car to park in the city, i don’t understand how people can even think to buy a car that’s longer than 4 meters. Roads and houses were built during the baby boom when cars weren’t used by everyone, so for example in my area there are 0.8 car parks per family.

Then i see my cousin, living alone, single, no family buying a huge 5,5 meters SUV “because in the next three years i plan to move, bigger space is useful”. Could rent a van for 100 euro a day instead of spending 10k euro extra for a monster…

Self-hosted VPN that can be accessed via browser extension

Currently I set up Tailscale in my Synology NAS and I can access selfhosted services on my phone using the Android app. I want to use some services in my work PC too but I’m blocked from installing any software. So my question is, is there any solution that allows me to connect to selfhosted VPN via browser extension? (Just...

Moonrise2473,

Most “VPN” browser extensions (if not all of them) aren’t actually doing a VPN connection but just change the proxy setting in the browser. This is because as a browser extension they wouldn’t have enough permissions/power to establish a real VPN connection.

So if you want to use a browser extension you have to run a proxy server, or as other said, just use cloudflared as running a proxy server attracts bots from all over the world

Moonrise2473,

How much do you print to reset that counter so often?

That counter usually is after the average life of a printer

Resetting the waste tank counter without actually replacing the sponges means a disaster is coming. On my Epson ecotank 2650 the waste ink spilled all over the table even before hitting the counter, resetting it multiple times is insane.

And replacing the tank is something that requires at least 4 hours because of the 1000 hidden screws and the puzzle-like construction

And good luck finding the right sponge

If you print that often you should sell it on eBay and buy another one with an user replaceable waste tank like the Epson workforce series or the ecotank 7700

Alternatively, when my ecotank 2650 spilled the waste ink on the table, the official support charged me 30 euro to open the printer and replace the waste pad, which if you think about it’s not too much expensive as it requires a whole day of disassembling for an inexperienced user, plus $10 on shady sites for the secret disassemble manual and another $10 for the reset key

Even on peertube with no algorithms it is required to have a thumbnail with exaggerated emotions?

Moonrise2473,

No, peertube is a YouTube alternative. Videos must be manually uploaded over a server which is them federated to other servers. Like Reddit vs Lemmy or Xitter vs mastodon

Moonrise2473,

Basically everything on prime video because I can’t stand the lag on the official app

Moonrise2473,

I don’t think it would do something in this case, probably those ads are served by the same domains mixed with the real video

Moonrise2473,

Nowadays is so easy to annex countries, just make a fake referendum, no need for war declarations

Moonrise2473,

Yes but one is for work while the other is a compensation device

Moonrise2473,

If I understood right they just want any name and any password for the parents mode

But you got the apk for the Chinese market, which is usually ad supported, plus the language barrier
