I chose one from this list: https://github.com/forwardemail/awesome-mail-server-providers?tab=readme-ov-file#vps-and-dedicated-mail-server-provider-comparison-table

I recently set up the whole stack (Postfix, Dovecot, OpenDKIM) on a VPS. I wanted to do it from home, but my ISP won’t provide a static IP or open ports 25/465/587 for consumer customers, no exceptions.

It took me about two days to get everything working, but most of that was because I went in with very little knowledge of how email even actually works. If you’re looking for a learning experience, I’d say go for it. If you just want a working email setup quickly, I wouldn’t recommend it.

I haven’t noticed any deliverability issues so far. Just make sure you have SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and PTR records all set correctly from the start.

Obviously what he did was wrong but I can’t help but feel a bit sorry for him. I’m glad he seems to have mostly gotten his life back together.

You can absolutely do that, but I would highly recommend setting up the laptop for SSH access. That way, you can work on your LFS from your main desktop, which will probably be much more comfortable, will allow you to easily copy and paste from the book and so forth.

You can do it from a live cd/usb just fine, but you’ll need to repeat some preparation steps (basically chapter 2 of the book) every time you boot the host.

The way I did was to install the host (I chose Debian) on a small partition on the disk, leaving most of the space for the LFS partition. Once the (B)LFS build was complete enough that I didn’t need the host anymore, I just removed its partition and expanded the LFS partition into the now unallocated space.

I was wondering the same thing. I checked my email, and over the past month I’ve received an email about policy changes from:

Discord
Anthropic (Claude)
Nintendo
YouTube
Meta
Airbnb
Microsoft

I don’t think it can be just a coincidence. At least a couple of them specifically mention the UK’s Online Safety Act so maybe that’s the reason?

Even if most of the time they might not benefit anyone, it takes like 30 seconds tops to add one so why wouldn’t we. They can also be easily generated with AI, one of the actually useful use cases for it.

I love nipple piercings. Very hot

Depends who you ask I guess, but at least Tor isn’t illegal there, is it?

Running a Tor relay, even an exit node, is not illegal in most jurisdictions. However, exit node operators may receive a large number of abuse reports and legal threats, which they must properly answer to avoid further trouble and that’s why it’s not recommended for the individuals to run an exit node.

For those living under authoritarian regimes where Tor might be illegal, the risks are obviously significantly greater.

Not really, as long as you don’t run an exit node

The internet got way more complicated since then with all the dynamically loaded and generated content. I don’t think the plugin would work very well these days.

It’s a-me, Mario!

From Assassin’s Creed 2. Might be known from some other game too, I dunno.

One of the reasons why videos don’t work well in Lemmy is that many instances have not configured their setup correctly for video streaming.

Not intentionally, but in high school we had a test on identification of flowers and plants. The teacher was an older man and he wasn’t good with computers. He was showing pictures from the computer using video projector but didn’t realize that Windows was displaying the filename of each picture in the title bar and each picture was named e.g. “daisy.jpg”. Almost the whole class got full marks on the test except for the unlucky few who sat in the back row and had poor eyesight.

Procrastinating

I will let you know later how good I am at it.

I think it’s pretty weird.

Oh wow, I didn’t know abot his backstory. Oblivion and Skyrim would probably be very different games if he hadn’t survived that accident.
