  • How reliable is it to self host SimpleLogin, AnonAddy (addy), etc?
  • adonis adonis 1y ago 100%

    Yeah, I'm not that concerned about receiving, since I was able to send a mail with swaks and it came through in proton.

    So, the forwarding system is basically like running an own mailserver, right?

    I checked out addy too, but SL and their browser extension seem just more feature rich.

  • I have a private @gmail and a business @company.com (also via gmail), which I heavily rely on. Due to a recent data-leak somewhere, I'm now receiving unstoppable spam on my @gmail, and decided to set up a new account on proton and ditch @gmsil in favor of @example.com. I came across SimpleLogin, and thought that I could use that instead of protons custom domain feature for both @company.com and @example.com Since I also host some stuff myself, I went through the self-hosting process of SimpleLogin, which was a pita dealing with postfix. But now, everything is running fine and I can send/receive @exampke.com emails, which I tested with @gmail and @company.com (gmail). Even though it was a nice learning experience, I'm starting to wonder whether my setup is future proof and reliable, especially when it comes to spam. I really don't want my @company.com mails to land in customers spam folders. So my question is, how reliable is a self hosted email-forwarding solution, and how does it compare with a self-hosted mail service. Like, are these two equal in terms when it comes to precautions etc?

    Do any of you use Raspberry Pi’s ?
  • adonis adonis 1y ago 100%

    I wanted to reuse one for octoprint, but it turned out to be unreliable. So I switched to my NUC instead.

    I have the feeking that those SD cards just don't perform well and wear out more easily, and I really use good ones.

    I do have a bidet, kind of... it's one of those attachments you assemble onto the toilet seat. And I surely do prefer it bc of the convenience.

    When I'm on vacation thou, I get myself a bottle.

    In public toilets, I wetten some toilet paper beforehand and use that after I'm finished dry-wiping.

    It's really not any different than washing off mud from your skin.

    Also, before we got old enough to do it ourselves, our moms used to rinse our butts after we had finished pooping.

    This might sound gross, but in our culture, we use a bottle of water and our hands to rinse and wipe. can't get any cleaner than that. and yes, we ofc wash our hands thoroughly afterwards.

  • Anyone got any tips for knocking a migraine when medicine doesn’t seem to be enough?
  • adonis adonis 1y ago 100%

    I'm struggling with headache for decades now. I was also obese for the most part of my life, and doctors always blamed it on obesity since MRI scans didn't show anything (thankfully).

    When I lost weight I went to a neurologist and he put me on migraine meds which didn't help.

    A few months after contracting covid in February 2023, my headaches got worse, so I went to a neurologist, doing an MRI again, which, as hoped and expected, showed nothing. So the doc put me on Amitriptyline, 5mg the first week, then 10mg.

    The 5mg already showed successful results for 6 days... I was in a better mood, and I haden't felt any headaches except for the last day. I'm now on 10mg and I hope to go through summer without any headaches.

    In any case, go see a doctor.

  • I'm using instagram to browse the discover feed mindlessly sometimes. I know, it's stupid, but I'm bored. At some point a short video about conspiracy showed up, so I hang in there and watched it. After mindlessly scrolling through the feed, more and more conspiracy stuff started showing up. Also, a few days before, the coridor crew on YT uploaded a vlog how they made a fake video go viral. And then there's the fuzz about the whistleblower, etc... resulting in many other YT videos referencing aliens, etc. FWIW, I'm not actively searching for conspiracy topics, etc... it's just that I've noticed a trend rising up, and I can't be the only one, can I ?! 🛸👽

    Is there a reason why all the services, that use the ActivityPub protocol don't have a unified API? None of the mastodon apps allow me to log in with a lemmy/kbin account. Also none of the lemmy apps allow me to log in with a kbin account. Even though kbin has both mastodon (microblogging) and lemmy (threads, communities) functionality. Also, Pixelfed recently introduced "login with Mastodon", but all it really does is just create a new user on it's instance and copy over the mastodon followers and profile info. Why can't we just have one account to rule them all?

    Is it just me or do any of you guys have trouble with suspending? It started a few updates back, and I was hoping 6.4.4 would fix it, but it didn't. When I put the system into suspend, it would come back right away. It' only stays suspended after trying it a few times.

    I feel like I'm missing out on the hype using kbin.social

    Most of the communities I'm interested in are on lemmy.world, programming.dev, etc where they have a large activity there, but the UI/UX of kbin is what's holding me here. However, I feel like not all upvotes downvotes and even comments are federated to kbin, so I never get to experience the **real hype** of certain posts. I'm wondering where the bottleneck is? Is it a certain i stance not pushibg to kbin.social, or is it kbin.social not being able to handle this huge amount of streams? Also, if it's the latter, would I have a better experience if I were to host kbin myself?

    Why do I keep seeing magazines on /sub that I'm not subscribed to?

    I usually browse under kbin.social/sub. I noticed some posts from lemmyshitposts@lemmy.world and many others popping up in the sub-feed. The thing is, I've never subscribed to these magazines. I even went to the magazine to check, whether I've subscribed accidentally, but I did not. [https://photos.app.goo.gl/FTGfJc3CASm69yWL6](https://photos.app.goo.gl/FTGfJc3CASm69yWL6)

    I have had a Logitech G903 for almost 3 years now, and it worked great under Linux. It had smooth scroll properly working with solaar and I could remap/deactivate buttons with piper. Now that the G903 seems like it's going to die (random slowdowns), I'm in the market for a new mouse. I got a Razer Balistik v3 pro, only to find out that Razer support on Linux is terrible. So I got the G502 X Plus, hoping it would work like the G903 did, but has a bunch of issues. For exampe: It's not recognized by piper, so I cannot remap/disable buttons. While I can change the dpi with solaar, it only stays until I press the thumb-dpi-button, then it switches to a higher dpi and stays there. (had to enable in-memory profile on a windows vm with ghub, to make solaar work) ... and many more. Are there any good wireless mice out there, that have good Linux support?

    Right now there are similarely named communities across the fediverse. "fediverse@xxx", "Linux@xxx", "asklemmy", "askkbin"..etc... I'm on kbin and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to use the fediverse more productively, by reaching the largest amount of people for asking questions, solving problems, simply put: to engage... like I used to do on Reddit?

    TIL: Magazines can have their own theme colors, and I'm not a fan of it

    Maybe give them a custom header image, like profiles have. But please don't encourage them to fill my screen with [#FF00FF](https://kbin.social/tag/FF00FF). Example: [https://kbin.social/m/fedora](https://kbin.social/m/fedora)

    I was under the assumption that I can use one fediverse account across all ther fediverse apps, but this doesn't seem to be the case. I.e. I downloaded the mastodon android app and tried to select kbin.social as the server, but it gives an error. Same for jerboa, it won't let me connect to kbin.social, saying invalid credentials. Is this something on the roadmap or am I simply wrong with my assumption?

    Are federated upvotes and comments not synced between kbin.social and lemmy.world?

    Example [https://kbin.social/m/linuxmemes@lemmy.world/t/122831/Battle-of-the-slashes](https://kbin.social/m/linuxmemes@lemmy.world/t/122831/Battle-of-the-slashes) Original [https://lemmy.world/post/909437](https://lemmy.world/post/909437) Is this on purpose that the upvote count and the comments are not synced?
