  • No more gmail? My switch to European alternatives.

  • Most providers have a way of performing a staged onboarding. So Proton, for example, lets you:

    1. Add a custom domain name
    2. Add mailboxes with the custom domain
    3. Periodically gather emails from GMail, etc, to your new mailboxes
    4. Create DNS records to allow email to be sent from your custom domain.

    ...and you can do those in any order at any time without changing the MX records, so your users can switch across to Proton when it suits them. Once everyone is over you can throw the switch on the MX records and kill the GMail service with essentially zero downtime.

    I've got a bit of experience with migrating to Proton and Microsoft Exchange but I imagine the vast majority of providers - and certainly those that target enterprise - will support similar workflows.

  • Kinda weird how you started by asking an interesting question but then spend the last two-thirds of your post going full-on tin foil hat.

  • Would a cheap, used raspberry pi 3 make for a good test server for following random self hosted tutorials? [SOLVED]

    Jump

  • No.

    Unless there's something about the RPi that you really want - GPIO, say - it's not a good choice, especially not the 1GB model you mentioned. Virtually any used desktop or laptop PC from the last fifteen years will be more useful; if you've not done so already, search EBay for "USFF". Those are desktop PCs the size of paperback books. Businesses love them and have them in fleets which means they tend to get cycled out naturally after a few years; the marketplace is full of them and can be had for €30 and up. Unlike a RPi 3, they usually come with storage included (and a proper SSD/HD rather than an SD card), a good quality power supply, plenty of I/O and, if course, a nice solid protective case.

    Example: https://ebay.us/m/TxL4yR

    Slap PROXMOX on that and you'll have the seed of a solid home lab. With 8GB RAM you'll have enough to run VMs for OpenWRT, Home Assistant, Yuno Host, and still have enough resources left over for your Debian tinkering box. Plus, by using PROXMOX you do away with the need for a KVM since you can either SSH into the VM or use PROXMOX's web UI to access the console and use a GUI if that's more your speed.

  • Funny, that actually sounds like it could be a line from the show.

    Here's an actual line: "For a lot of people, life is just one long, hard kick in the urethra. And sometimes, when you get home from a long day of getting kicked in the urethra, you just want to watch a show about good, likable people who love each other. Where, y'know, no matter what happens, at the end of 30 minutes... everything's gonna turn out okay. Y'know, because in real life... Did I already say the thing about the urethra?"

  • What's the craziest thing you've seen on public transportation?

    Jump

  • I bumped into a friend who is cop in the British Transport Police at a station while he was working. While I was there somehow a happy-drunk guy fell between a train and the platform and got stuck. That's not the crazy part.

    The crazy part is the four separate people who all ended up getting arrested because they attacked my friend and the other responders trying to free the stuck man - physically kicking and trying to drag them away - because he/they wouldn't order the train to leave the station and it was making them late. Four separate people, all apparently sober, all absolute psychopaths who would happily see someone mangled by a train so they wouldn't be inconvenienced, and so utterly convinced of their righteousness that they were prepared to physically attack police officers and paramedics.

    I was later told this is pretty normal when there's a "one under": aside from the person who fell getting injured or dying, the biggest immediate problem is a handful of narcissistic cunts who interpret the whole thing as some kind of personal insult. It really shook me that anyone could be like that.

  • If anyone is looking to become obsessed with a niche television show that went off the air years ago about a character that is obsessed with a niche television show that went off the air years ago I cannot even begin to recommend Bojack Horseman enough.

    Back in the nineties I was in a ver-y fa-mous teeee-vee show.

  • I watched The Critic long after it was cancelled and thought it was good, not great, but for some reason the theme song makes me feel nostalgic as balls.

  • How do you handle junk email?

    Jump

  • Get a domain name and use that for your email; most providers let you set a catch-all that delivers everything to one place. So if you got, say, strawberrypigtails.egg you could give every service you sign up for a different address: ebay@strawberrypigtails.egg, sdf.org@strawberrypigtails.egg, pornhub@strawberrypigtails.egg and so on. Then, when you start getting loads of spam, you can look at where the email was sent to rather that where it came from and either take action against that service or just block emails sent to that address.
