  Do you have Bluehost web hosting plan? In that case, Bluehost would do the most heavy lifting regarding the derliverability. Email deliverability with big hosts like that should be fine.

  Owning a domain for yourself and having a provider send/receive email on your behalf is a common choice, and it has its own benefits. As long as you renew your domain properly, it should be fine. Though do note that only you would use that domain, so anyone would know it was you who sent that email.

  Owning a domain for yourself AND handling email sending/receiving can be challenging because there’s a chance your email gets filtered as spam, and the receiver doesn’t get what you sent. It’s also possible that your server goes down, and the email sent to you doesn’t arrive properly, though the email server usually try to send again a number of times before giving up.

  If you are confident about setting a server, I can personally recommend Mailcow. As long as you set up SPK, DKIM, DMARC, it should pass most spam filter including Gmail. If you don’t want to deal with the potential headache, getting a provider to send/receive emails for you is a good choice too.

  I dump data to someone who probably practices 3-2-1 rule after encrypting it. I mean, these guys back up data for a living.

  Not even close. Too many things to learn, too many things you can get good at, not enough time to do them all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whats your favorite domain extension?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  .ch

  • Renewal is cheap, even if the domain is short
  • Automatic WHOIS lookup is disabled
  • Easy domain hacks
  • Decent reputation, ranks low in spam rate
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you keep up?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same here. I spent last month transitioning all my servers to NixOS and it feels so comfy! I do a small test on my desktop when I do something that might break stuff first, and then add it to server’s config later.

  –target-host --use-remote-sudo makes it even better too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you use for notes?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re considering (something) + Syncthing, try Orgmode. It looks like Markdown but has a lot of features for note management and navigation.

  Thank you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's fire... Maybe concerning but fire still⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish I could forget about Baba Is You completely, I want that feeling I got when I did “What happen if I do … IS KEY?” again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has anyone successfully self-hosted Firefox Sync?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you do something with syncserver-rs alone? Even after I log in with Mozilla account and setting sync server URL, nothing appears in the database.

  Is this even a real tweet? If it is, why even bother trying to recreate it in paint?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨which VPS do you recommend?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Avoro is really cheap and I can recommend them. If you are student, you might want to look into GitHub Student pack, which includes DigitalOcean credits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened to the turn based RPG and RTS genres?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Battle Aces and Stormgate are both from ex-Blizzard devs chasing that high, and both are live service, so those two will soon be dead

  The curse 🥲

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do all languages share the same intonation for questions?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Semi-related question since people have shown counterexample for OP’s question: Are there English sentences where the tone goes up at the end, but is not a question? I can’t think of one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proposal to create a collective to own the topic-based Lemmy instances⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would assume the “rendezvous” instance would collect all posts from all communities it is subscribed to, and show them to the users as if it came from a single instance. So moderation would be limited to the moderators of the actual instance behind it.

  The explorer makes it easier to discover them, but would be even better if that’s automated.
