  • Is it "safe" to use an own domain for Mails?

    Jump

  • The reason I gave up self hosting email was because all my emails kept going to spam for everyone I emailed.

    You need to set up DKIM, SPF and DANE, then most big email providers will accept your mail. Worst case, you may need to contact them to unblock your mail server's IP if that has been used by a spammer prior to you.

    Plus incoming email needs spam protection.

    Both SpamAssassin and Rspamd do a decent job of that.

    Note: I'm using rspamd, and for some time at the beginning, it looked like it wasn't really doing anything. Turns out it needs a couple hundred training emails before it will start using the Bayes function. Just feed your Spam folder into the learn_spam command and any of your normal, not-spam folders into the learn_ham command.

  • Domain registration information can usually be found out somehow, although these days you have to jump through some additional hoops to get it, and those hoops are designed to discourage automated lookups. The privacy gains you get from hosting your own email server, though, are massive and IMHO more than worth it. If you are not hosting your own mail server, then the most you can expect from having your own domain is nicer looking email addresses. Depending on what your hosting provider supports you might also get unlimited aliases, maybe even regex aliases, which can be very helpful when handing out mail addresses to various companies and internet services.

    If your main concern is that your email address should not be associated with your real identity, your best bet is to just use a VPN to connect to any large email hoster, like ProtonMail. (Obviously don't use Proton Mail if Proton is also your VPN.)

  • I don't know, they're demanding quite a lot of expensive stuff there. Of course, it depends on what the contract the says, or of there even if a contract at that point. If the contract allows for that stuff, or if they're willing to pay hefty additional fees for all that, than that's okay. If not, they are acting unreasonably entitled here.

    Edit: Just saw the second pic. It's still wild but they are offering to pay as much as it takes, so as far as I'm concerned, they're in the clear.

  • That's pretty bad. I don't like Charlie Kirk at all, but him getting shot is going to rile up the right into a fierce frenzy. This will get dangerous, and will make the situation even worse.

  • Huh? Hab ich ehrlich gesagt überhaupt nichts von mitbekommen… Wo ist denn in letzter Zeit häufiger der Strom ausgefallen?

    Ich hab hier einen kleinen Homeserver am Laufen, 24/7, nicht an einer USV, und wenn zwischendurch der Strom ausfiele, wurde ich das daran merken. (Der geht halt nicht von alleine wieder an, weil man zum Booten ein LUKS-Passwort eingeben muss.)

  • Older Millenial here. It was definitely GenX that paved the way for the computer world I learned, and it was mostly GenX who wrote the books and taught the lessons (often informal) that brought us what knowledge we have, at least in the beginning. Plus a small selection of exceptional individuals from older generations, including, dare I say it,… the baby boomers.

  • I suppose I'm gonna have to be "that guy" again:

    40 years ago, Microsoft did not "invent Excel". They developed yet another spreadsheet application and called it "Excel", presumably in a moment of coke-fueled hubris. (I mean, seriously, "Excel" as a product name? We don't think about that much these days, because we have gotten used to that name, but if you didn't already know about MS Excel, how high on your own supply do you need to be to call a software product that?)

    The actual invention of the spreadsheet was done by other people. The earliest example was probably Visicalc for the Apple II, and a more prominent example predating Excel was Lotus 1-2-3.

    Sorry to be so nitpicky, but urban legends like "Microsoft invented the spreadsheet", "Microsoft invented word processors", "MIcrosoft invented operating systems", "Apple invented GUIs", "Apple invented the computer mouse", "Apple invented portable MP3 players", "Apple invented smartphones" and the like form the base for some very distorted narratives about how our world works, and I don't like it.

  • Last week in England, a privatized water company increased CEO pay by nearly 100%. This is how British Secretary Steve Reed reacted

  • "They're a private company" (with a state-sponsored monopoly on an essential good).

    I don't know how anybody is surprised by this. Who do you think would buy a privatized municipal water supplier, other than people trying to squeeze as much money as possible from a population with no recourse and no say in the matter?

  • Ich finde, die Organisatoren sollten bei so was nicht nur danach gehen, was der Duden streng genommen sagt, was das korrekte Wort ist, sondern vor allem auch danach, was die Zielgruppe glaubt, was das heißt. Natürlich gibt es da jetzt Leute, die zumindest im ersten Augenblick denken "Hey, die haben gesagt, ich soll betrunken/bekifft sein". Da steht zwar etwas weiter auch was von kein Alkohol konsumieren, aber ihr glaubt ja nicht, wir gut manche Leute darin sind, nur das zu hören/lesen, was sie hören/lesen wollen.
